【正文】 ealthy and stong with a sharp mind and demonstrated mitment to teamwork. i was handpicked to play for school baseball team when i was in primary school. back then, my proven leadership and excellent skills in the field assured my coach that i was born to be a team leader. and i did justice to his welltimed appointment by heading a team of beijing to pete in shanghai and hong kong several times. and the strong track record of out outstanding performances each time still fills me with pride and excitement today. during one match tour to hong kong in the 1990s, i was immediatel exposed to the enviable luxury and prosperity of the city,the dynamic economic center of asia. that trip awakened me ,for the first time, to the value of wealth and finance. and it was that very journey to the thriving metropolis that shaped my ambition to be a financer.years later,when the colleg entrance exam came,that moment of life and death for most of senior high school students in china,my top preference was finance colllege of beijing technology and business unversity. the result came as a sad surprise as i was admitted to puter science college instead. but i stuck with my dream major and decided to minor in finance. i have since worked hard to equip myself with systematic knowledge of finance. as a result , i amd now well on my way to graduation with double degrees in both puter science and finance in 2012.during my college days,i led my cohorts in starting up a micro pany as i dabbled into the real business world. we settled for newspaper as our maiden attempt.. as a new horn,i took a handson approach, from editing to circulating, from cost control to market survey. my strong leadership and sunergy of the entire team kept this mini organization going pretty well in its infancy. yet inexperience in operation and cost management led to a failed business in the end. but i saw the silver lining in the failed venture. i now know more about where i need to work on. when i was a little boy, my parents taught me how to manage money in the safest way. they helped me put my pocket money in the bank and get interest as a return. now, as a grownup already,i recognize that systematic learning and book knowledge can truely help me know how much more about what finance is all about. naturally, as one’s knowledge about swimming increases, the desire to swim in the sea grows. yet, with more academic exposure, i have e to realize how i am illequipped with the knowledge needed to stay afloat in the trubulent sea of finance. that selfconscious humbleness versus the profundiy of finance as a muchrespected discipline has led me to opt for further study in the us,home to a number of worldclass colleges of finance.after meticulous parision and crosschecking, i have settled for clark university,the birthplace of the firstever graduate school in the us. i trust that demanding academic standards here and ,best of all ,great mastermind of finance that clark can offer will undoubtedly broaden my horizon and update my vision as financier of the future. to me,clark is the best and right place that can surely make the difference, academically and professionally alike. i am more than anxious to embrace those best minds in clark and contribute my humble part to its huge wealth of knowledge and innovative ideas. i am therefore very much looking forward to a positive reply from clark, my dream campus. may that offer e just in time for my journey towards a rewading learning experience in one of the greatest colleges in the us.
