In 500 words or less, please describe how you plan to give back to your community and help fulfill the needs of your community after you've completed your education. How would your plan impact not only your immediate community, but also a broader one?
My community is in great need of science education. A lot of adults, especially seniors, have limited science knowledge because they were not well educated in China. They have difficulties in understanding electrical appliance manuals, installing computer equipment, and surfing the Internet. They often ask me for help. One day, my neighbor bought an AT&T Internet device but did not know how to set it up. I followed the instructions from the manual and easily completed the installation. Also, I helped him register a user account and chose the payment method. He told me that he did not understand the how the equipment worked and how to surf the Internent. I patiently explained him every question and taught him some basic Internet skills. In addition, many children in my community have problems in their science classes. When they are confused with their math and science homework, I am always willing to tutor them. I often teach them creative mathematical methods and explain confusing and complicated scientific concepts to them in clear and easy ways. With my help, they improve their performances in math and science classes and develop strong interest in exploring the nature.
With the experience of helping people and tutor children, I realize that science education is of paramount importance to improve the life quality. Hence, after I have complete my education, I plan to popularize scientific knowledge not only in my community, but also around the country. I want to change people's opinion about science, let more people master basic scientific knowledge and skills, and develop children's interest and understanding in scientific research. I will organize a group to improve science knowledge of my community. In this group, I will cooperate with community colleges to teach local people simple but useful scientific skills to deal with daily problems. Moreover, I will do funny experiments in front of people to stimulate their interest in science, encourage them to think about phenomena in daily life, and motivate them to read scientific magazines and fictions. As we know, children is the future of our country. I will also provide free tutorial service for children and develop their interest in learning science. My goal is to let more people familiar with science methods and use basic science knowledge to solve problems. If possible, I would like to expand this group to a nation-wide organization with the mission of popularizing science knowledge and skills in the United States, especially in some remote areas. I will recruit people with strong passion of science into my program. In this way, we can not only spread science knowledge and methods to our community, but also improve our teaching, research and leadership skills. I believe our country will become stronger and wealthier if it has a higher rate of science popularization.
