Anyone in the world
 Business school is a university-level institution that confers degree in business administration or management. As a child, I had always wanted to manage businesses of my own, this dream as motivated my decision to opt for an MBA degree in a world class business school. I got to know about Lagos Business School through my uncle who attends seminars in the school. Since I didn't know much about the school, I decided to read more about it and even visited the school to check out the environment and facilities, I was encouraged with what I saw and what have read, my uncle also encouraged me by paying for my application form. On the 31st of May 2014, I was asked to write the entrance examination to the school, I got to the center around 9 am, hoping to finish in three hours, but the server was so poor to the extent that an exam that was supposed to take three hours or less eventually took more than five hours. It was an appalled experience. I did my best and was hoping to be called for the interview. I was more than happy on the day I received an email from Lagos Business School that have been scheduled for an interview on the 19th of June 2014. I started preparing for the interview, I prepared so hard as if my life depended on the interview, I gathered little information I could gather regarding the mode and method of the interview. Also, I trusted God and I believed I would make the stage. On the day of the interview, I tried looking my best in the simplest way possible; I was scheduled for 11:00 am that made the third interviewee on that day. My heart was beating very fast but I tried to stay calm so as not to flunk the interview. Eventually, it was my turn, I was welcomed into a room by a panel of judges, they were four in number, all men and all looked so serious and business minded. I was asked series of questions such as 1. Why I want to study MBA 2. Why did I choose Lagos Business School 3. What my Career goals are and how I want to accomplish them. e.t.c. I was able to answer most of the questions confidently, because they were actually things I wanted and I was sure that I wanted them. The interview lasted for 45 minute, and I enjoyed it because it was more of a chat for me. One of the days I would always cherish in my life was the day I received a mail congratulating me on my full time MBA admission program from Lagos Business School. I am so glad to be identified with the school because I know the school is going to make me a better person.
