Benjamin Appiah Ampomah '17 Recruiting Profile

A natural liking towards applying creativity, innovations and strength to enhance quality of lives, inspired me to pursue a Business undergraduate degree. And I hope to accomplish this goal by gaining the requisite knowledge in finance from a well reputed School of Business, which I trust will be a crucial step in my professional life.

My goal has always been to fully explore the field of finance to achieve my dream of dedicating my life to entrepreneurship, to help enrich lives. My natural liking and passion to apply strength, creativity and problem solving disciplines associated with innovations and entrepreneurship is to become beneficial to society and enhance quality of lives, as I consider them as key to the development of the human society and the adaptation to the environment. Addition to my strength and passion, is my ability to combine academic work and extracurricular activities. With this that I intend to also pursue my love for volunteerism, networking, soccer and other activities outside the classroom that will help me achieve my goals in life.

I was admitted into high school at the age 15, and I was puzzled whether I can combine academic work and extracurricular activities. But with commitment and time management, I pursued my love for soccer by joining the school’s soccer team and gratefully, I was able to play countless tournaments and won awards and also at the same period, excellent in all my academic works.

With the government of Ghana making efforts to find sustainable solutions to support most financially struggling businesses in Ghana, it has being a hassle for me in my first year in the university, as an organizer and fundraising officer of a Christian Youth and Charity Club to produce funds or resources with which the organization can get off the ground, expand
its operations or continue to do the work it does. With my good communication, organization and negotiating skills and ability to work under pressure, I had been able to lead in the raising of funds and putting up three youth concerts and a donation to an underprivileged school in the Eastern region of Ghana.

I am convinced that your University’s global contributions in research, creativity and innovations in solving problems and improving lives will inspire, provide excellent opportunities and connects me in to make positive impact in people’s lives in society and the environment.
