Hi this is the essay of UC prompt #1. 【UC1】1. Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or school - and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations. PLEASE give it a look and leave your comment and suggestion. Any thought will be appreciated a lot!! THANK YOU!!

When I watched the Big Bang Theory for the first time, my first thought was if it was looking for an Asian actor to join the "Geeks" crew, my cousin would be the one. I've learnt countless knowledge on many aspects from him who is crazy about rock music, numbers and America.

As long as I can remember, my cousin's shelves are filled with CD's of mostly rock music. From the 4th grade, he introduced the Beatles to me which brought me to the world of the songs in English. Although I couldn't entirely understand the meaning of the songs, they started to depict an unfamiliar Western world for me. My cousin also took me to different places to look for CD's, and played the guitar and the drum for me. Led by him, I gradually understood the encouraging spirit that the songs expressed. As my sense for music grew shaper, a seed of desiring to see the nation full of freedom and opportunities was planted in my young mind.

My cousin has been my idol in academics as well. Although he has been busy preparing applications for top American business schools, he's always willing to share the skills of learning with me such as suitable methods for individuals. Moreover, I'm moved by his passion of learning. Working in Wall Street is my cousin's ultimate goal which inspires him to devote his life in dealing with numbers as an accountant. He attained various qualifications and is now employed by PricewaterhouseCoopers. But as he taught me, people should utilize their learnt skills to the fullest extent. A high salary job wouldn't stop him from achieving more knowledge. Influenced by him, the seed in my mind was nurtured throughout my teen years.

Eventually, supported by my parents, I decided to take a step before my cousin. In the three years I spent in America, I realized how much my cousin had given me. I was able to make friends with local students easily with the help of my knowledge of music. In academics, I quickly discovered an efficient study method to adapt to a totally different education system. Thanks to my cousin and parents, I am now successfully half-grown. Then I will equip myself with what I've learned from my cousin, and continue to maximize the usefulness of studying in our dream lands.
