Sample 1st Paragraph Undergraduate Financial Actuarial Mathematics

I am applying for entry to the undergraduate program in Financial Actuarial Mathematics. My reason for doing so is a love of, and an aptitude for, mathematics combined with a strong interest in the way that businesses operate and reach decisions. My family owns a business in which I have worked and, during this time, I have become increasingly aware of the fact that almost every business decision involves risk and that in many cases the decision maker can be greatly assisted in reaching the right decision by the quantification of the risk that they are facing. My ambition is to become an actuarial consultant aiding businesses, particularly small businesses, at times in which management is taking significant business decisions involving major changes, in order to avoid business failure or significant financial loss.
