"Do we settle for the world as it is, or do we work for the world as it should be?"

-<Becoming>
The first picture represents one of the spikiest factors in my life. I was born in a regular family of a small town in northeast China. Since I was in high school, my parents have set the goal of my life that was getting married before 30, and buying me a taxi for the wedding gift. It is not until 2015, my first time went to North America to run a full marathon. I have trained marathon since 2014, the biggest part of this training is my mindset. At the beginning, I'm slow and I can't run far without having to stop and walk. But as time as I training myself. I told myself that I can take my time, I don't have to run fast, but I can run further. For years, I just keep reminding myself that my goal isn't to be the first one to cross that finish line. My goal is cross, knowing that I gave it my best. Completed my 5th full marathon also the best one with an enthusiastic crowd in Seattle, I was shocked that because these cheerful atmospheres are very rare in China. The frequent question I have been asked for was "How much money would I get if I finished the race" or "If I was crazy paid the entry fee to running a race?" In the following days, I visited the University of Washington, just in time for the graduation season.The campus was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and all the graduates were dressed up took photos with pride and elated mood. Back to China from Seattle, I was well know that it is the perspective where things really click for me. It inspired me to pursue my dream--through education, make choices that are loyal to yourself. I have self-learning English since back to China. Because I do not have aboard studying experience or any english major in the college, It is difficult to study and work at the same time. I know that my English still can not competed with native speakers. But I believe that ,like marathon, language learning is a process of accumulation. I will never give up.

The second photo represents one of the honors of my career. When I got the annual Innovation Award in 2018. As a Digital Marketing Specialist with ENTJ personality, I have been worked for Network Finance Department of China Construction Bank since 2014. In 2018, Targeted Poverty Alleviation was the focal point of China. As one of the so-called Big Four Banks, the bank features a multitude of means to partner with local agricultural companies and ensure long-term development. Our team organized over 50 marketing campaigns selling the gods of agriculture on ShanRongShangWu, which is an E-commerce financial service platform launched by CCB. Furthermore, we try to make customers to enjoy the freshest fruits and vegetables through our channel. In this project, I have devoted considerable efforts to designing the One-Stop Service strategy, which is from pick cherry in the orchard to deliver to customers, also can trace the joint through App, within 24 hours. Cherry-selling as example, To date, more than 500 orders per day during the season. not only led by a 85 percent year-over-year increase for cherry but also drive up jobs rate in the village. I have passion about digital marketing, moreover, with the expansion of my horizons, I realize that the world has thousands of problems -poverty, environment- things that need good people, smart students to help to solve. I want to be a part of them through learning advanced international marketing skills. A lot of the nonprofits in North America have made great contributions to solving the world problems- global climate change issues, poverty and female injustice, etc. Therefore, the MBA is the best way to achieve my goal.
