Personal Statement

From childhood I have been surrounded by and thrived on many things intimately connected with science. Born into an engineering family, my interest in science was cultivated from an early age, for not only were my parents avid pursuers of further knowledge, which they were always willing to share with me.

I chose to attend Shanghai Qianjin Continuing Education College, majoring in Computer Design. During my three years there I worked hard to achieve great progresses. In order to graduate with a more rounded education, I elected to take extra courses in both the Mathematics and Computer Science Department. I

Taking all the major courses in the Computer Science Department, I discovered that I have a particular interest in computer science. Thus I began to explore more and more areas of this field. Despite the difficulties I encountered, due to the fact that this field was new to me, I worked day in and day out, filled with energy and excitement at the prospects this field has to offer. It is in this area I would like to carry out my future research, perhaps developing new networking algorithms and image-compression algorithms to solve the problems posed by transmitting images on networks.

For as long as I can remember, I have been exploring the wonders of the information age, attempting to discover its secrets. In doing so, I have developed an entrenched team spirit, as I believe that advanced technologies are always the products of joint human efforts I have a solid background in mathematics, electronics and computer science, which I have taken full advantage of research in the areas of information transferring, information processing, and information organization. As your college encourages interdisciplinary research, it perfectly suits my background and ideals.

I not only have the conviction that the world needs more advanced technology but also follow that through with the ambition and daring to undertake high quality, cutting-edge research, research that will undoubtedly make a bountiful contribution both to your school and to my country. My burning ambition is to ensure that, with my assistance, China continues to make steady progress into the advanced world. Therefore, upon completion of my studies I plan to return to my homeland and turn this dream into a reality.

I realize that admission into your college is highly competitive, but I know that I am qualified, eager and prepared to meet all of the challenges I will undoubtedly be presented with Please open your doors to me so I can open the doors of discovery to the world.
