Hellow everybody, I've been driven made by this essay and I could really use your help!!!!! It will be very kind of you to give me any criticism and advice and I am looking forward to watching the born of a great essay only because of all your help!Thank you!!!

This is the prompt:Describe your intellectual interests, their evolution, and what makes them exciting to you. Tell us how you will utilize the academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences to further explore your interests, intended major, or field of study

I am a math zealot. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are my daily sports and solving people's mathematical problems on "answers.yahoo.com" is also my hobby. I touched maths in nursery school, but I didn't take it seriously, though; at that time I was too naive to understand the its pan-use and I thought what mathist could do was bury themselves in pile of theory books. It was not until I learnt Olympic Mathematics did I realize my narrow-mindedness and therefore catch a glimpse to a brand new way to see the world.

Attending middle school I showed stable and outstanding ascendencey in math so my teacher recommended me to study Olympic Mathematics, a category of math which requires deep and inclusive mind. Every sophisticated problem is the complicated reflection of a simple model, so studying such math wich such problems was refreshing and inspiring. Thanks to the effective training to the mind, I could easily handle subjects like physics and chemistry. Thanks to the ordeal of solving thorny problems, I could say that many pains-taking ways lied in front of everyone but shortcut rarely existed. And thanks to several experiences of attending competitions of Mathematical Olympiad, I could become and retain composed and resolved whether what I faced. These treasures are what mathematics has brought me and I find out that math is not only an academic interest but also a pratical tool that indeed facilitates many aspects of my life. In the end, I am intrigued and determined.

I am determined on my craving for mathematics and I have decided to achieve it in Cornell University. "The Department of Mathematics" can systemize my knowledge and craft my passion into real production. And I am looking forward to the math club-The Undergraduate Math Club. It provides a window to current events in math fields and can keep myself informed. And since I have already tasted the benefit of such cooperation in my studying Olympic Mathematics, the club can offer precious oppertunity to significantly enhance my skills. At a time like this when the virtual world is online, the presence of math has never been so prevalent before. A chance to study in such college only passes once in my life so I shall take my chance to the College of Arts and Science of Cornell University and consummate my knowledge and usage of math in preparation for my success in a digital future.

Hello, Hongqing, I think you should add in a specific example, like an occasion/event/activity showing how mad you are about maths. Jia you for your application!

Tell us how you will utilize the academic programs

I think you need to answer this part better. It is obvious that you will participate in the program, and it's not surprising that you will be in the math club. If you want to impress them, tell them about specific aspects of your plan -- for example, is there a professor you admire? Is there a particular application of mathematics that you want to master, such as accounting, and if so, are there resources and clubs for that? Might you start a club of your own? Maybe you will be a leader among peers in the program you are in...

Also I think you jump a bit too much, you go from how you alwys loved math to how you joined olympics math.. then saying how that made your other classes easier. Focus more on one example and expand it to where it leads up to the climax of you knowing you want to do mathematics
