Personal Statement
(I wanted to mention about my motivation,why must be South Korea)
Songdo is South Korea's smart city where there is the intelligent management of the environment, energy use, traffic, and modern buildings through digital technology, advanced innovation, and effective electrical systems. This motivates me to witness advanced innovations and effective electrical systems with my own eyes and experience them by myself, which will broaden my horizons through them. Moreover, South Korea promotes R&D to overcome limitations through technological innovation and has ranked first on the Bloomberg Innovation Index for several consecutive years. As a result, I chose to study Electrical Engineering in South Korea. Studying there is my own goal, so I intend to use my talents to achieve it by receiving a scholarship, GKS. This opportunity will allow me to obtain knowledge and experience to enhance Thailand further, and I will dedicate myself to greater cooperation between South Korea and Thailand.
(I wanted to mention about Family and Education background)
Being born and raised in a family where both parents work as medical technologists, they always taught me to be creative to evolve technology further. Accordingly, I have the determination to study Electrical Engineering with the motivation of changing the world via advanced technological innovations. Moreover, my parents give me the freedom to study whatever I want and always support my decisions. I studied in the English Program from Kindergarten 1 to Grade 9 and then moved to the Science Mathematics Technology Engineering (SMTE) program from Grade 10-12 because I wanted to have an in-depth understanding of science and mathematics to create a solid foundation for Electrical Engineering.
(I wanted to mention about Significant event and how I deal with it)
The turning point in my life was in Grade 12. I decided to explore myself and step outside of my comfort zone by doing a project that I had no expertise in, which was the "Automatic Cleaning Robot." I was a determined person who enjoyed challenges. Once I made a decision, I would try my best to hit the benchmark. I was eager to learn new things by self-teaching and doing. In addition, I consulted with an expert teacher to gain more knowledge and got the best results. As a leader, I always listened to everyone's ideas and assigned work evenly depending on an individual's expertise. I was responsible for programming and integrating robots that allowed me to learn more about circuits and programming, where I realized that I wanted to study Electrical Engineering. I have spent almost every free hour of the day at the school's laboratory. I have been iterating for two months by attaching devices to electrical circuits, programming, testing, and starting again if problems are found, which is a crucial skill for engineers. After completing the project, I submitted it to the contests to be published and developed my project. Even though I did not win the first competition, I continued to improve myself and my project until I was able to compete at the national level. As a result of my efforts, I received five rewards for "XX", including three national levels, two regional levels, and was published in the National Academic Conference journal at XX.
(I wanted to mention about what I learned from doing a project, how iteffeced me and shaped me)
Doing a project was full of pressure and stress because this was my first time in this field, so I had to work hard on studying relevant issues by self-teaching, consulting with teachers, learning from doing, exhaustion from overcoming obstacles, or regretting defeats. But it also taught me how to regulate my emotions and be resilient to encourage my team with the fighting spirit to move forward. I learned to use technician tools such as solder to connect wires to a circuit board, programming, communication skills, time management, leadership, and teamwork, and how to build a skill set over time and diligence. This was a huge growth opportunity for me, which made me a more responsible, well-rounded person along with the skills I gained. Moreover, these skills can be beneficial for doing research, presentations, group activities, class debates, and other activities at university. It also fulfilled my passion and reaffirmed my ambition for Electrical Engineering. It enhanced my ability to apply my creativity and knowledge, expand my vision of innovation, and be ready to pursue Electrical Engineering.
(I wanted to mention about Extracurricular and what Ilearned from them and how they affected me)
I focus not just on academics but also on extracurricular activities. During my summer vacation, I volunteered for three weeks at Buddhachinaraj Hospital, which was overflowing with patients. Since someone was illiterate, I assisted with writing personal information. This inspired me to be more empathic, improve my listening and communication skills, and see the importance of advanced technology being used to solve problems or facilitate people. This confirms my desire to study Electrical Engineering to apply my knowledge to advance society's development. Moreover, I worked as a staff at the Science Mathematics Technology Engineering (SMTE) camp, which brings together Northern SMTE students for seminars and field trips to investigate community problems, brainstorm solutions, and develop projects to solve those problems. My duty was to look after the participants and be a consultant for them, drawing on my knowledge and experience as a previous participant. Even though I had a minor role, it highlighted the necessity of being a good follower. Being a good follower is essential for having a smooth workflow. As for my wiliness, I have improved my communication skills, problem-solving skills, as well as my ability to be more pleasant and outgoing.
(I've written all about essay lists in the section above. But since I have already started studying at university in my country for 1 year and reapply for undergraduate so I was wondering if I should mention my college life below.)
I pursued my passion by receiving a full scholarship to Suranaree University of Technology's Faculty of Electrical Engineering. In terms of studying, I have discovered that I like studying Physics II, which is a course on direct and alternating current, and circuit analysis has reinforced my enthusiasm for this profession. Furthermore, I enjoy Calculus, which both are fundamental subjects that will be used to supplement my knowledge in my major, and I am confident that I will be able to learn successfully to produce the best results and that I can maintain a good grade. As a result, this provides me with the opportunity to be a tutor for a small group of friends in calculus under the supervision of the University Education Center, allowing me to gain teaching experience that would be useful in the future. Besides the academic experience, the institute was 8 hours away from my hometown and I was living in a dorm with three roommates. Initially, there were some difficulties, but I learned to be open-minded, accept differences, and adjust to them. The most important thing is to be more independent, not to expect others, and to rely on myself because when a problem comes, I have to solve it myself anyway. These things will demonstrate that I am capable of adapting effectively to different surroundings and am committed to studying electrical engineering. After a year of learning, I discovered that it was insufficient to meet my goals. My study goals are not just academic studies but also life experience and a vision of a developer using creativity, technological, and innovation knowledge to become a well-rounded person.
(conclusion)
In conclusion, if I were to characterize myself, I would describe myself as someone who is continuously striving to be better in all aspects of life and who always works hard to achieve goals. My awards and development are a testament to my efforts. Through my previous experiences, I have amassed and honed a unique skill set that makes me a well-rounded and versatile student. I can formulate effective problem resolution options. I also had the opportunity to work with various personality types, so I can adapt to new circumstances as well as work independently. Moreover, I will apply the skills I have learned to my university activities to make my academics more enjoyable, competitive, and develop myself together with my friends. These traits along with my genuine desire to study, help to set me apart from my peers. If I am granted this chance, it will expand my horizons to learn, whether academically, life experience, culture, or the perspective of South Korea. I will use my expertise to help create a more inventive and creative society, country, and world. In addition, I plan to share my experiences with anyone interested, as well as devote myself to Thailand and South Korea. I will be the engineer that connects South Korea and Thailand industries.
