The Most Significant acccomplishment - transformation from a shy

My greatest accomplishment has been my transformation from a shy and somewhat directionless young man to a confident, and much focused adult. Growing up in suburban Tainan, I never felt that I fit in. I was in a culture that didn't value interpersonal skills.

Consequently, I grew up shy and very unsure of myself. I knew college was the perfect opportunity to explore. At university, however, I was unprepared emotionally for the rigors of life at a large, highly competitive university and my grades suffered. When I started my first year MBA, I had little idea of what I wanted. I thought to be an investment banker. When I realized that I didn't want to enter the financial world, I felt somewhat lost. The full-time LDS missionary program make me feel that I "came out of my shell." My experience working with people gave me the communication skills that I needed to work in a team environment and succeed everywhere I was assigned to.

Now I feel comfortable mingling with thousands of strange people every week using Japanese, Chinese and English. I found that I had a real talent for working with teams, and motivating people. In the past year, I have developed a strong interest in nonprofit management, which given my career a focus that I have never had before. I finally know what I want to do with my life and I now have the confidence, the skills and the determination to achieve anything that I want to.
