I like your clear and engaging style of writing! I'll make a few suggestions:
Investment has fascinated me since my teenage years, when my family started to teach me how to manage money during days. when I was attending middle school. See... this is just like Mr. Miyagi trimming a bonsai tree. I try to cut out the phrases that do not help to make your point. The fact that it was in middle school is an unnecessary detail, so I cut it out of the sentence! :-)
Cut out some unnecessary details, and you have room to make more meaningful details. Add a meaningful detail to this sentence:
With my interest in this field, I have determined to pursue a career in the finance industry and hence decided to do a Masters program in Finance.--- Again, I cut out a phrase that is extra. But how can you add a meaningful detail to this sentence?
I have determined to pursue a career in the finance industry, and hence decided to do a Masters program in Finance, and I am particularly interested in ____________.
Add "the" here:
The majority of my previous job responsibilities ...
I wish hope my background and qualifications are found suitable for...
:-)
