My 4-year undergraduate program must be described as very successful. Scholastically, I achieved an almost unparalleled GPA between 3.7 and 3.8, winning scholarships for four consecutive years. My extracurricular performance is equally impressive. My English proficiency has enabled me to pass Grade 4 and Grade 6 National English Tests, the most difficult tests for non-English majors, and to obtain 3rd prize in a nationwide English contest for college students. My composition The Piano was collected in Excellent English Essays by Students from Key Universities. As a student of sociology, I realize the importance of knowing the society and I chose to do my internships as a journalist for Nanjing metropolitan newspaper Weekend, a position which allowed me to cover extensively on major social issues in present-day China. At The First International Chinese Media Forum held in Nanjing in 2000, I served as a volunteer and organized a gather-together between The Forum Newspaper from Taiwan and Nanjin University, allowing alumni across Taiwan Straits to meet. A girl with a strong sense of social obligation, I am a member of our university’s Red Cross Association and have registered for potential marrow donation
