It started off in the fifth grade when my mother thought it would be a great idea for me to join the GT Program (Gifted and Talented Program). I had never thought myself to be gifted or talented at all‚ but my mother really wanted me to join. Two weeks after saying yes I entered into my counselor’s room and took the test along with two other students to see if I would qualify; I did. For the next three I saw no difference between myself and the other students. My report card might have said that

Professor Xia Shuzhang was terribly tied up recently‚ but this was somehow related to MPA (Master of Public Administration). The universities in the first batch approved to set up MPA sent out glory titles to him in succession‚ such as visiting professor‚ honorary dean‚ and guest attending seminars. In the first summer when MPA was disembarked in China‚ professor Xia Shuzhang‚ crowned as the "father of Chinese MPA"‚ seems to be more an academic symbol. This is because he has countless ties with

When I first started college I was set on working in adoption and foster care. The whole reason I wanted to be a social worker was because of the book A Child Called It. If you have not read the book‚ it is about a boy named David whose mother abused him in the most unimaginable ways. When the social worker came and removed him from the home I knew that someday I wanted to be able to rescue a kid like David from his home and help him to find a better life. This is why I like the idea of adoption

As Sergeant Major for a day‚ my objective is to set my Soldiers up for success. Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) are the backbone of the Army.

I play tennis and am a cheerleader for my high school and plan on continuing these sports while at IU. I love the spirit

Becoming physician-investigator is my primary career choice. In many respects‚ this role also reflects my other professional goals. Physicians practice the art and science of medicine to diagnose and treat human disease. Biomedical investigators identify and study relevant clinical questions to improve the processes of medical practice. And educators commit themselves to teach and guide their students toward success. As a physician-investigator‚ I see myself integrating all three. I want to strengthen
