Reading and Writing reports
Ever since being allowed to study business in high school as a subject, I have loved reading
case studies on different companies and writing reports on them. I enjoy gathering
information on various organizations and companies and analyzing the situations. Afterward,
I write up comprehensive essays on the companies according to my research. I enjoy coming
up with and writing solutions to the companies' issues. Since high school, I have carried on
the joy of reading and writing in all my business courses. When I explored these hobbies,
attended the Model United Nations and was elected as the Delegate of Somalia. In this role, I
had to research technological issues affecting Somalia and write a report that I presented to
the General assembly in UNEP, Nairobi. After two years I went attended the MUN conference again as a delegate of Gabon.
From theses experiences, I gained an interest in researching and gaining information on current affairs and seeking ways to solve issues.
