My name is xxxx, a 23 year old lady from xxx.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Science degree


with a major in Economics and a minor in Psychology. I successfully completed my
undergraduate studies in October 2015 at the University of xxxx, xxxx. I graduated with a
GPA of xxx out of 4.0. My interest in economics was ignited in 2010 during first year of
study of social sciences. Immediately I realized how crucial the field is to developing
countries like xxxx. Among many issues, it is stipulated that most African economies are
underdeveloped because of it is common to adopt policies that work for other countries
instead of formulating policies that are specifically tailored for the specified African
economy. For this reason my main goal is to deepen my understanding and knowledge in
Applied Economics which will build a solid foundation for me to partake in ground breaking
research that will have significant policy implications to the xxxx economy.

In my pursuit of my undergraduate degree I studied various courses of Economics, the main


courses include Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Money and Banking, Development
Economics, International Economics, Public Finance, Corporate Finance, Environmental
Economics, Health Economics, Quantitative methods and Econometrics. In my final year I
conducted research on the Impacts of trade openness on Inflation rates in xxxx using Auto
Regressive Distributive Lags model for analysis. The study revealed that the relationship
between trade openness and inflation rates in xxx is a negative one, in other words the
more xxxxx opens up to trade the more general prices increase. This could be because
xxxx is a landlocked country and because the country is a largely importing economy. In a
nutshell, the research findings were inconsistent with one of the most celebrated
propositions found in international trade; the proposition that trade liberalization is
associated with lower prices, that protectionism in trade is inflationary.

In addition as a student, I loved to step out of my studies by joining the ladies basket ball
team and learning the art of Tai-chi as a form of meditation. I also took up leadership roles
in small organizations on campus in order to polish my leadership skills but it is not enough
that is why I am constantly seeking opportunities that will prepare me for influential
leadership roles in the near future. Personally I am an adventurous person who loves
visiting and fitting into new environments. I enjoy meeting new people of diverse cultures
because the experiences polish my interpersonal and communication skills which I believe
are the main things that contribute to my growth as a social person.

After graduation I secured a job as a monitoring and evaluation assistant at xxxxxx, the job
is mainly centered on statistical skills as data management and design of research tools is
crucial to the job. The job has helped me build practical skills in quantitative research.

STUDY PLAN IN CHINA:


After completion of my master's studies I hope to be able to take part in maximizing my
country's economic research in such fields to benefit its policy formulation and adjustments.
This will contribute to a sound economy that will in turn improve the poor living standards of
the xxxxan people. I believe that this Masters Program will provide me with a solid
understanding of the fundamental tools of economic analysis that are employed to conduct
rigorous research of economic issues and economic policies. I hope that I can gain more
experience in dealing with situations, people, and demands which will be of a great help in
my future career.

Economic analysis, both theoretical and empirical, can generate important insights into
individual and aggregate behavior and relationships, and help in society's efforts to use
scarce resources in a more efficient manner for the sake of development. Such knowledge
and skills will enable me to attempt to explore some of the economic challenges peculiar to
some of the poorest countries in the world. By acquiring such skills, I will have the
opportunity to apply the tools of economic analysis to the problems and challenges facing
xxxx, and to begin to understand why my country has not been able to go through a process
of economic and human development.

REASONS TO STUDY IN CHINA:

China's heavy investment in education has resulted in provision of high quality education
and its universities have high reputation which makes a great aspiration to the students and
professionals for the better career perspectives. As someone whose sole interest lies in
Economics, China being an economic powerhouse provides the perfect environment for the
study and research in Applied Economics. China will provide me an opportunity to meet
imminent researchers in this field and to be part of its research community will allow me to
acquire invaluable transferable skills which I can tailor and apply in my country.

China as a country is also iconic to me due to the bilateral relations it has with xxxx. The
fact that China is promoting trade and peace with xxx makes it a comfortable destination to
pursue a Masters degree in Applied Economics.

In addition, of great interest to me is China's diverse, vibrant and well preserved culture. It
would be honorable to learn and live the norms and values of the Chinese people as well as
appreciate the great cuisines of China.

In conclusion, I am looking forward to your favorable consideration and I look forward to


your reply.

Regards,
xxxxx
