Undergraduate / 'No difficulties living in an English speaking environment' - Cincinnati statement [4]

Please feel free to leave comments. This is my first draft. I'm so confused. I don't have any good idea.

Please provide a Personal Statement regarding how your academic achievements, personal interests, and life experiences have helped prepare you to succeed academically and to be an active member of the UC community. Be sure your response addresses each of the three components. (Please limit your response to approximately 250 words).

I believe I won't have many difficulties living in an English speaking environment. English is not only just a foreign language to me; it's a joy, a hobby, a passion. I've been studying English since 2nd grade, right after I knew how to read and write my mother language. I've taken a lot of extra classes and attended many English camps with teachers from US, UK etc. In my junior year I was one of the five students to represent our school competed in an English contest for honor students between three districts.

Getting used to American culture and lifestyle is another thing I am not very worry about. I am currently living in Illinois as a foreign exchange student. This trip has been giving me many useful experiences about the US. My host mom taught me how to spend money wisely, which store has better prices, how to cook and what college life will be like. I got used to foods here and even though I am still not a big fan of fast food, I think I will survive well my college years with noodles, frozen dinners etc. I also learned how to spend time wisely. My knowledge about America and my English skill were improved considerably.

I am sociable person, I love being and interacting with people. I also hope to contribute Vietnam's ancient culture to UC diverse community.
I am confident with my capabilities and looking forward to become a part of UC .I believe I will be an member and help making our community diverse and energetic.

Undergraduate / Virginia tech essay: 5 Reasons why you want to attend virginia tech [4]

Please leave a comment. Thank you :D

When choosing a college to go, I have to consider thoroughly many factors, from academic to living. After scrutinizing hundreds of schools all over the United States, I finally came up with Virginia Tech. The school is felicitous for me in many aspects.

As a place to live, the town of Blacksburg is simply awesome. There are not so many places where it takes only a few steps from the modern academic environment to the beautiful, pristine forest. As a place to study, with the Internet available everywhere and a giant library, the school is definitely the first choice for people who want outstanding academic environment. Excellent students in both academic and extracurricular activities is another wonderful thing about the school. I will learn a lot from those students and try to work harder to catch up with them. Moreover, people here come from many distinctive places, so I can know a lot of different manners, beliefs and life styles in the world. I will also contribute to the cultural diversity by sharing Vietnam's perennial culture through spectacular customs and dishes. The final and most important reason is the top engineering programs. Years at will turn me from a naïve high school boy to a skillful engineer.

Even if I cannot get in, it is worth applying because the school is totally a dream place or me to go.
