character300
By giving inspiring speech on Embryo Engineering last year, he offered me the motivation to learn comprehensively and confirmed my dream to be a biologist. Also he his life attitude influenced me: "Cicada matures when it molts painfully." Indeed, I will mature when I withstand the most vulnerable moments.
What subjects most interest you and why? (Note: This is not a commitment to major in this area.)
Biology and Literature.
When I was 9, I exhausted my parents building a small insect museum in my bedroom. Then beyond plain fun for life, the fact that life science can deal with diseases and relieve the pain of patient intrigued me to pursue my career in biology.
I love traditional Chinese poems particularly because they record the scene thousands of years ago and reflect our ancestors life philosophy.
Do you have a tentative (or firm) career plan (or dream)? Please describe it.
A Biologist who is also a green volunteer. In the near future I dream to improve artificial organs by studying nano-materials and gene engineering. I will seek ways to relieve the pain of disabled. In addition, as I have already done a research on recycling in China, I plan to expand my volunteering project to the world and attract more people to protect our vulnerable earth through recycling.
Why are you interested in Carleton College and how did this interest develop?
Carleton amazes me with diverse opportunities. I won't be confined to learning. I can explore all courses I love; share my ideas with unique peers. I can Stroll down the Carleton Arb and lay down beside Lyman Lakes; I can join in the Debate Club and organize SUMO activities. Indeed, Carleton is where "I can embrace life fully".
From your reading, whether children's books or classics, what books or authors have particularly impressed you and why?
1.George Orwell's Animal Farm. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." the pig Napoleon words snapped me out of daze that animal farm was actually about the history of human nature. The conflict between two pigs (Napoleon and Snowball),the Boxer's loyalty, the Snowball's idealism and Squealer's jargon...all insinuate the shortcomings of human society. This novel made me happy first, angry then, embarrassed finally.
2.The Analects of Confucius. This home-known classic of China illuminates me the value of integrity, courage, wisdom, courtesy and benevolence.
