Why are you drawn to the area(s) of study you indicated? Ever since I saw the shining computer parts and vivid pictures on the screen in my neighbor's house when I was four, I became fascinated by the "magic" of a computer. After immigrating to America, I have perceived the rapid development of technology and societal needs for technological solution which strengthened my will to study in the field of computer science.
Complete ONE of the following thoughts:
If I could do something with no risk of failing, I would...
...develop a system or software that can recognize human speech with a very high accurate rate and translate the speech instantly from one language to other languages in the way of native speakers.
What is something you created that makes you especially proud, and why?
By the time I became a member of Greenhouse Club during my junior year, there was only a few people in this club. This undesirable situation sparked an idea in my mind: to change.
During senior year, I created a website of the club with another member for the purpose of expanding the club. With this new website, we disseminated our events and information to other student more conveniently and the members of Greenhouse Club increased significantly within a month. Because of this effort, I became the webmaster of the Greenhouse Club and I was really happy with this experience since I could contribute to the Greenhouse Club while I applied my knowledge in computer to build the website.
We all exist within communities or groups of various sizes, origins, and purposes; pick one and tell us why it is important to you, and how it has shaped you.
When I was small, I was fascinated by Chinese history. Since I had strong interest in Chinese culture, my family began to pass on Chinese traditional value to me little by little: the Confucian values. Under this influence, I gained a unique perspective of life, aspirations and goals which shaped my personality and moral views and I became modest and conservative on the journey to knowledge. Being Obsessed with the beauty of Chinese character, I also have had practiced Chinese calligraphy for seven years. The practice of Chinese calligraphy enhanced my understanding of Chinese culture and cultivated the quality of patience in myself which helped me to develop a methodical thought while solving problems. Despite this, the experience of living in America has broaden my horizon and the liberal value has drove me to accept an interconnected world. Being a student in America, I am proud to learn in this open-minded academic environment while keeping my own traditional value as a unique individual.
