An event or an experience in my life that will influence my academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University is, well I have two things. One that can slow me down and trip me up. The other one that can keep me going on this journey to get my degrees and see this experience all the way through. As I take you through these two areas on my life, please be praying. First, is I’m relocating, new job, new environment and I have to get familiar with new line of work that I’m going into. This can obviously distract, overwhelm and discourage anyone with clear career goals. Let’s start with moving, still in the same state, but completely different area and environment. New job, I’m trying to strength myself in a lot different areas of my life and taking this job is one way. It’s mentally, physically and emotionally going to test me far more than I’ve been tested before. People are everywhere that’s no doubt but the things that set them apart is personality and life experience. So I have to firm in who I am, what I believe and what I will allow to be around. This new adventure I’m taking is something that will strengthen, deepen and expand my personality and spiritual relationship. But also get me distracted and off track from my academic goals. But the second thing saves me just enough. …show more content…

The definition of persistent is continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. Also continuing to exist or endure over prolong period. Once I set my mind to doing anything, I’m going to complete it. This part of my personality can be a weakness to strive for perfection, and as we all know that’s not possible. But is also can strength, to never get up, to have obedience and steadfastness to finish what I started. No matter what comes my way I know what I want to be my end goal. So strive for perfection with a realistic mind

Many of my teachers remarked me as “reassuring”, and a lot of my friends have told me that “It seems that you’re so chilled but you actually know what you’re doing”. Yes, I was born with a phlegmatic personality, but it was not until last year when I “failed” the AMC (luckily I was still qualified for the AIME) that I started to learn how to manage time and resource wisely and actually grew up. I spent my first 14 years in my life in China, and in the summer 2013, I moved to US with my family, seeking for new challenges-- I’ve always believed that unfamiliar environment provokes one to learn the most. However though I thought I was prepared for the worst, things got out of hand, as how it goes every time one is put in a new wonder land. It didn’t take more than a month to surmount the language barrier, but

In Adams’ quote, he reasons that there are two ideas of an education, one that gives skills and resources to get a job, and another that teaches individuals how to live a fulfilling a life. To me, this quote represents two corresponding outlooks on my own education. I believe that in order to be happy and successful it is important to take these two educations and maximize their potential. In order to learn to make a living you must take advantage of all opportunities in a class, internship, or extracurricular activity. Another major component of learning how to make a living is through networking, where students make social connections with other professionals enrich their present or future careers.

Before the start of my fourth year of high school, I would not have known what I wanted to choose as a major in college, but after talking to people who know me well, I have decided one major I am majorly interested in, and that is Computer Science.   Frankly, I do not have much experience with Computer Science. However, a lack of experience does not equate to a lack of interest. Before my journey in search for majors, I have never considered Computer Science; the one slight idea I had about my future, with hesitance and self-doubt, was becoming a designer.
