Undergraduate / My father-the people who influenced me and change my life. [2]

I admire my father because he is responsible, strives for the best and very ambitious. My father was a professional engineer on his early years. One of his main businesses was to sell and service the imported tower cranes from Italy and Germany. His superior consciousness and responsibility created a successful engineer, his next interest at the beginning of reform and open in China. My father studied the blueprints of those imported facilities carefully and communicated with European companies frequently. He was very responsible; after he found a hidden, but important note on an instruction page which indicated the service life of his ever-sold facilities parts, he immediately informed his customers to update the spares parts of their tower cranes. While other colleagues mainly aimed at the selling of imported tower cranes at that time, my father was the first one who focused on after-sale service and client safety. His spirit enabled him to gain particular trust and praise from his customers.

Now, my father is a successful stock investor, this has profoundly influenced me and gradually developed my strong interests in accounting. I have first-hand experience with the importance of understanding financial statements because I watched closely when my father was planning to invest in wine stocks. He first went to a supermarket to purchase the products of a specific winery and then invite his friends to taste them and help him analyze the financial statements of that firm. My father usually investigates listed companies carefully because of the often-misleading financial statements in China. He believes that field research is an effect way to avoid purchasing inferior stocks.

My father has influenced me to make so many good decisions; I have decided to major in accounting because I would like to help my father to better understand the financial statements. My father is not an accountant, but his rigorous attitude to work and commitment to professional responsibility influenced me to be a successful and responsible accountant. He always told me that an accountant is a highly responsible job. I bring his training into my accounting study and internship, treating all invoices and transactions carefully. Once I am an accountant, the only standard that I need to stick to is accurateness, professional accountability and integrity.

Comments:
Is it you or your father that has to better understand the financial statements - 1st sentence, last paragraph.
NEVER start a sentence with "Because!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Your last sentence might just be your best sentence after my corrections.
You are using a lot of "I" and this essay is more about your father than you.
Colleges are looking to assess you and how great you are, not how great your father is.
I think that tying in your father is a good idea and I encourage you to; however, you have to make it more about YOU and tie your father in without focusing just on him.

Undergraduate / "whatever decision I make with my co-members" - extracurricular activities or work [21]

Comments:

You had it all in your essay, it's just that you had to make it make sense. You can ignore all my corrections, but I think you should correct my corrections and maybe you will have an acceptable essay.

Also you have to tie in you work with your dad with your work in school activities.

That's so nice that your dad and you are close.

Undergraduate / "not a city girl" - BU supplement applying for Fall 2012 - Early decision [NEW]

I am not a city girl. I have grown up close to "the city that never sleeps" and I have never enjoyed that idea. This motto was created because there is so much action taking place in New York City. On the other hand, Boston offers a more peaceful niche but is also fast paced. Boston, a city well known for its prestigious universities such as Boston University (BU), a surfeit of historical landmarks and diverse cultures, is a place where I can connect to and be more comfortable in than another city. I remember a time when I visited BU for my brother and all I remember is the beautiful, bright green grass and tall buildings. During my junior year, as I searched for the best college for me, I was drawn to the words "elementary education, special education" in my college book under Boston University, as I found with some other schools, but BU seemed different...impossible. I was uncertain whether BU would be the right fit for me; however, I looked into it and when I visited, I found many interests that resemble my perfect fit. There was talk about the extraordinary opportunities offered at BU's study abroad program. There is no other university that offers over seventy international programs. Then, after we visited, I did some more research and discovered so many more cool facts. One activity that I want to continue throughout college is fencing and the fencing coach is deaf. Boston University surrounds students with so much culture and diversity that I can socially interact and intellectually grow as a person there.

Please revise it and write comments to on what I have to improve. Thanks so much.
