能有机会去美国学习,我非常激动,因为美国是一个伟大的国家。It was an adventure to leave home and attend college in America, but it was worth the risk. The people are nice here, and there are many opportunities. Since I enrolled at CLC in 2015, I have achieved so much, succeeding in my CLC courses, working part time and making new friends.

At a college fair in Germany, I met a representative from CLC who explained how a community college is more affordable than a four-year college or university.这是一个很好的开始,特别是如果你还没有决定专业的话。CLC以低廉的学费提供高质量的教育,学院还提供许多奖学金。当我得知自己获得了苏珊·史密斯奖学金时,我感到很荣幸。

One CLC course that really helped me is English Composition I.老师理解学生们的挑战,和我们像朋友一样交谈。他给学生布置了写作任务,帮助我们改进思考过程和文章结构。

I’ve also enjoyed a macro economics class, in which we analyzed how economies function and to what extent economic data influences the decision-making process of economists.

Besides the professors, the free tutoring in the Math and Writing Center is also very helpful.当我写一篇关于股票市场的论文时,写作导师帮助我进一步探索我的想法。我还得到了一个会计学导师的帮助,还有化学、生物和物理的导师。

Outside of classes, I have grown through part-time work and by getting involved in campus clubs.Working as a student ambassador, I give tours for new and prospective students. It’s been amazing to see how the job has helped me improve my communication and presentation skills. Also, being a social media marketing intern at the Small Business and Development Center has given me valuable, practical experience.

通过商务俱乐部和国际学生俱乐部,我结交了新朋友,看到我的朋友圈被传播,我感到非常高兴。

在获得工商管理学士学位后,我想留在美国,在股市或金融领域工作,因为我对经济学很着迷。On the subject of career planning, I agree with Steve Jobs, the late founder of Apple, Inc., who said: “The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
