Tell the Admission Committee about a time when it cost you to maintain your integrity and what you learned from the experience. Would you make the same decision again if given the chance?

There are countless times when I have been forced to make a decision, but with a huge prize. However, one experience still lingers in my mind. While taking my undergraduate study at North Dakota State University, I was one of the best students in computer science. Because of my passion in information technology and business, I always outstood  in many classes taught under the program. With this ability, I found out that I had to help my friends who would often come and ask for help. Because of their request, we spend a lot of time holding discussion and brainstorming over challenging questions. One day, one of my closest friends asked me for my term report just because he had not done his work as expected. Whereas I was always helpful, I was not ready to help him out.

With myself at the crossroads, I was not ready to ‘hurt’ my friend, but most important compromise with my value of integrity. With high stakes at hand, I choose not to give him—I refused to give him the paper. Well, my friend was not happy with my decision and because of this; he chose not to speak to me for an entire semester. This was a great prize for me to pay. Nonetheless, I was proud that I did not compromise with my values. If I am faced with a similar situation today, I am positive that I will make the same decision—stand for integrity.

My colleagues describe me as…

My colleagues describe me as great helping hand and an easy to get along. Because of my willingness to help my colleagues, I have been able to learn more about the problems that people go throw and how to resolve them. At time when other students come to consult with me, I often give them time, which has allowed me to develop bonds of trust not to mention widening my network of contacts. This has all being possible because I am interested in making quality connection, which creates lasting relationship in the community around me. I am very fun loving and easy to get along as I am always ready to serve people. I like looking at their situations from their perspective and always strive to get a positive outcome. I totally believe that this personality trait will give me an opportunity to have good relationships with my future colleagues and faculty members at your institutions. With some many people knowing that I am always ready and willing to help, I am positive that I will build more networks that will horn my ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds.

I am passionate about…

My passion is to achieve my dreams and exceed what others expect from me. My philosophy in life is centered on the mantra “Ask and you shall receive.” I have always dreamt about something I want before working towards making it a reality.  This trait has made me unique because my passion gives me the impetus to overcome challenges that come my way. Where other people find reasons to turn back and give up, my passion for success gives me not only hope, but also the strength to take every positive step. This fuel drives my actions.

The business or organizational leader I most admire is... because

My father, Amarnath Gupta is a successful business leader, I most admire. Indeed, his story gives me an opportunity to understand the value of creativity, hard work and determination. The admiration I have for my father rose from the inspiration I received from him while I watched him grow in his business. My father has excelled in business because he values making considerable investing and founding multiple firms. After seeing him create robust network of business interest, I was inspired to work towards being a renowned entrepreneur. Over time, I have envisioned creating a significant mark in business following the steps of my father or even make greater exploits. Notably, I am focused on building great business throughout the world and hopefully succeed like him.   

My greatest life experience

My greatest life experience is studying abroad in United States.  I came to the USA with dreams in my eyes and a determination to prove myself worth the challenge. Coming to the USA was a huge milestone for me because I made my parents proud when I earned a 50 percent scholarship. In addition, I flew thousands of miles away from a great country to another great country. I was packed with all good things and culture when I came to this total new world—the  largest and the best country in the world. Upon arriving in USA, I realized that I had accepted to be in a new lifestyle new culture, and a country with high level of independence. Surprises were also in store for me. I experienced a temperature change of 90 F to -30F and snow became a new form of amusement. Indeed, North Dakota snow was my first time to play with in my lifetime. In school, I was intrigued to learn with students from more than 30 different countries. As a result, I learnt the value of diversity and the need to understand people who come from Asia, Russia, Middle East North America, South America, and Africa.

Additional information

Every man or woman shapes their lifestyle and chances of success with the people they surround themselves with. Having grown with achievers, I developed a strong mindset that success is a product of SUCCCESS. Indeed, this has been a significant source of inspiration to me.I want to emerge as one of the richest women in the world. This can be perceived as a wild thought, but I am confident that I can achieve this goal. My interest in success rests on my belief that learning has no limits whatsoever. Certainly, age or other forms of timing cannot provide sufficient hindrance to someone who is committed to achieving a set goal in life. With success being my major motivation, I am convinced that I will one day become what I have visualized- World’s richest Business Woman.

Well, becoming a successful businessperson does not come that easily. However, I have the right mix of achieving this goal. Apart from having this goal, I am always positive in life. Being positive provides me with the right attitude and vision to hold on to my goal, even when challenges come on my way. I see myself fit to face any challenge as I have developed and learnt being tougher than the tough times from experiences. Having had hurdles along my personal and career, I have been able to pull through because of these attributes that contribute to my resiliency.

Another important aspect of my life is passion for life and all the opportunities it brings along our way.  Rather than wait and expect others to lead me, I have developed a “go getter attitude.” This has made me realize immense benefits in my areas of interest. For example, my passion for the success of my spouse allowed me to make a glimpse into the world of stocks. After learning what it takes to ‘watch’ the market and make price decisions, I realized that I could trade in stocks and earn something out of it. Indeed, trading in stocks is something which I will do it consistently throughout the career.

My success in the stock market has given me the glimpse of better things to come. Recently, I have been selling and buying stock like BAC and MacDonald after learning how to capitalize on their fluctuation in the stock market. Through the selling and buying of stocks, I have earned decent profits, not to mention gaining more understanding of how to make investment option despite being from a computer science background. With an MBA at hand, these goals will one day become a magnificent piece of a success story.   

Leadership is a trait that makes to stand out among my peers. At North Dakota State University, I played a critical role of a student airport supervisor always ready to help new international students. In this role, I helped about 20 students by welcoming them; coordinating rise and helping them get boarding facilities. This role made me help international students adapt to the new environment apart from enhancing my leadership skills. After serving with minimal supervision, I believe that I have become a better leader than I was.
