My name is Sun Liying. I am majoring in software engineering in Shandong University. Four-year college study awards me excellent mathematics knowledge and organized thought. Apart from my major courses, I have been crazy about attending lectures of Economy Department in my college. The effect of market and economy attracted me a lot. Therefore, I completed macroeconomics, microeconomics and accounting in my sophomore year. In addition, my father is taking managing position in an entrepreneur. Accordingly, I have been interested in business courses and I decide to take financial related courses, especially Actuarial Studies as the direction of my master’s study.
I have been interested in numbers since I was a high school student. I felt satisfied even though I had to contribute more than one hour to solve a mathematic problem. I often spent time to think about other methods to solve mathematic problems that my teacher had provided answers. My enthusiasm about mathematics was inspired again when I began my college study. I took some basic mathematics concepts, such as limit, series, calculus and differential coefficient. I also learned some basic theories and the application of related concepts, such as differential coefficient of function of one variable, calculus, partial derivative of function of many variables, differential equation, and Taylor's formula, intermediate value theorem and infinite series which help me to know the nature of function, and the independent vector algebra and space analytic geometry. To be honest, I even made more efforts in the study of mathematics than that in my academic courses. Therefore, I believe that my mathematics achievements are pretty competitive in pursuing Master of Actuarial Studies.
I took multi-directed development when I was in college since I believe that enhancing my learning and surviving ability accounts even more than receiving academic knowledge. Therefore, I chose my favorite lectures from other departments to explore my interest. Moreover, the experience of organizing art activities in my college developed my communicating ability and teamwork idea. With my adaptive ability increasing, my academic results in last two years showed a dramatic improvement than that in the first year. Last year, our teams stood out in the program internship with the establishment of portal website of Commercial Bureau for Langchao Electronic Industry Group Corp.
The visit to Taiwan for half semester inspired me going abroad. As an exchanged student, I learned being independent and treasuring. I was aware of communication ability, independence and international viewpoint worth more than academic degree. I was convinced studying abroad would be a turning point in my life. In addition, I am a typical optimist with adventurous mind. I prefer finding my interest in the process of pursing new goals. In the meanwhile, I can find my shortcomings and improving solution as well. It is worthy to have a try in spite of unpredictable future and unfavorable factors, such as being far from my family.
I used to be a professional swimmer in middle school. I left behind in my academic courses because of regular training. In order to entry a better university, I focused on my study and gained a satisfied result. Therefore, I could make a great achievement successfully only if I contribute more efforts to my deed than others. Therefore, I am fully convinced that I am able to complete my master’s degree in actuarial studies with qualified result and to get related certificates if possible through my hardworking and perseverance though I have an engineering background.下载本文
