Personal Statement

Personal Statement

(for a postgraduate program)

Through all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal beliefs and values, which is always keeping myself curious and never stop challenging myself.

Since young I have always been curious about computer and electrical devices. I still remember clearly the surprised look on the teacher's face when I typed without looking at the keyboard the first time I touched a computer. However, what the teacher did not know is that, driven by curiosity, I had looked through the textbook and had practiced typing over and over again on the cover of a computer textbook with a keyboard printed on it before the class.

Thus, I chose Electronic Information Science and Technology as my major in university and I am expected to graduate this summer with a Bachelor’s Degree from Harbin Institute of Technology. Through university, I have developed an intense interest in Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems and I am eager to specialize in this subject.

During my time in HIT, I was chosen to be a member of Honors School with all the top students from various majors. The high-quality and international oriented courses that Honors School provided not only lay a solid foundation for my further study but also promote an international vision for me. In addition, the experience of working and competing with these top students from different disciplines broadens my perspective and pushes me to make progress.  Moreover, by dedicating myself to all kinds of academic competitions and contests helps me to apply the knowledge I learnt from textbook. The constant challenges also accelerate my growth.

Throughout my university life I have taken on many roles and responsibilities in student clubs and organizations. Through these experiences I learnt to be open-minded to different opinions. In addition, the ability to look at things in different perspectives and good mastery of critical thinking and analyzing make me a valuable team player as well as a good decision maker.

As you can see in my resume, I spent an unforgettable semester in National University of Singapore….(more info to be added latter)

       As a man who enjoys doing research and determined to achieve the long held ambition to become an Engineer, I will continue to bring more enthusiasm and persevere in my studies. Also I cherish the belief that my capability to stay curious and exploring new technologies will help me to succeed in this field and I feel I can do well in the university environment.
