Living gives you a better understanding of life. I would hope that my characters have become deeper and more rounded personalities. Wider travels have given me considerably greater insight into how cultural differences affect not only people, but politics and art.
Alan Dean Foster
Although I am not an author like Alan Dean Foster, my life experiences can relate to his insights about the transformation that one can feel by living in a foreign land and studying in different countries. The opportunities and the experiences that we can gain by being with diversified people enrich our knowledge, strengthen our emotions and allow us to gain a greater understanding about the people and the world around us. To continue my academic life at the University of Washington has always been my wish since the start of my study in the United States. I believe that the University of Washington is the best stage for me and will be a great opportunity for me to commit to self-improvement. This is the goal that I have in mind and I by submitting this statement have taken the first steps to reach it.
My life is filled with many challenges that have nearly affected my studies. I belong to a broken family. At the age of seven, it was difficult to accept the separation of my parents. Some people think that being raised by a single parent is painful, and admittedly, it was difficult without the support of my father, but despite everything I still developed a cheerful outlook on life. These experiences have made me more mature than many others my age. My mother taught me that we should always view things in a positive light, and not be ashamed of having just one parent. In hindsight, I am so glad that I have been through these hard times because it has taught me how to communicate with a diverse range of people. In fact, this is the most important reason why I have chosen communication as my major.
Given how my life and family experiences have developed my interest in communication strategies, I browsed the website of university of Washington and familiarized myself with the Universitys library system. From these information sources, I saw that the University of Washington employs a wide range of resources and a diverse range of tutors, which would help students, such as me, to achieve their goals in the future.
In order to be able to achieve my goals in communication, I started to contact people in management roles. I still remember that when I was in middle school, I entered a speech competition. The topic was People. I searched for information online, and discussed the topic with different people. During the speech, I said, Communication is powerful when we know well enough the people we are talking to, but it is also powerful when we face difficulties. Difficulties are a normal part of communication that everyone must overcome. I won the competition, and I learned another lesson when a person feels that they are good at something, their interest in it grows.
After that speech, I asked my mother to arrange a communication course to enrich my knowledge and skills. Last summer, I decided to reinforce my communication skills by going to Shih-Chien University, a university in Taiwan known for the excellence of their communication studies. They offer courses for students who want to improve their communication skills. They use role-plays to illustrate how people from different backgrounds and different roles in society are able to communicate. One of the most important things that I learned from this is that you cannot learn all about communication from simply reading about the principles, or doing an assignment from a book. Learning to communicate effectively is a practical skill that we learn only by practicing in our everyday lives. To achieve this end, I participated in different kinds of activities and apply my communication skills to all areas of my life. During these activities and courses, I learned from both my failures and my successes. Those experiences have encouraged me to communicate effectively with people. After studying at various institutions, I realize that adjusting my own modes of communication is important if I am to make a contribution to society in this field.
While I may have the talent and the propensity for learning, I strongly feel that I need to be in an academic environment that can best develop these skills. This is why I am preparing to transfer to the University of Washington and where I have decided to apply for an AA degree. During my years at college, my GPA has steadily increased each quarter. I have achieved a college GPA of 3.65 through persistence and hard work. Im doing everything I can to illustrate my improvement, and show my school that I am ready for the next level of my education.
In my experience, success doesnt come easily. Just when you get close to it, you find that you need to work harder than before.
Studying alone in the USA was a challenge for me. Experiencing a new environment is full of difficulties, but I never give up learning from them. In fact, Ive learned the most about communication from the difficulties that Ive experienced. All the courses that I took at Seattle Central Community College, presented their own communication challenges that in my act of overcoming, has enriched my student life.
Seattle Central Community College gave me the opportunity to start education in the USA and helped me to take my first steps towards a furthering my communication skills. I feel, however, that there is still so much more for me to learn. As a student with a firm and passionate attitude for learning, the University of Washington provides a suitably challenging learning environment with a diverse range of students and faculty. The University of Washington is the best choice for me. I believe University of Washington will give me a perfect environment through which to increase my knowledge and cultivate my ability to make a worthy contribution to society. After years of studying, I am now a conscientious, determined and self-directed person who is ready to face any challenges in life.
