　　Born in Beijing, China’s political capital, cultural center and economichub, and nurtured in a well-cultured family and an empowering community, I havedeveloped a meaningful outlook on lie. I identify myself with such values thatone gives meaning to life when one lives to give. Success stories of my parents, relatives and friends along their career-path have entrenched my belief inbeing independent and confident as a contributing memeber of the community.

　　As I look back on early days of my schooling , I am just as grateful to myworking parents for having sent me to one of the best boarding schools inBeijing where I received quality primary education and learned to appreciateindependence. As I recall , being independent was probably the biggest asset Igained as a teenager with the absence of parental guardianship for most of those6 years. After I upgraded to secondary school, I offered to go to school bybike. Though hesitant at first, my parents gave their well-thought-out consentto the 15-km ride average Chinese parents would simply veto in the first placegiven the “one-child policy”and subsequent “little emperors” pampered by parentsand grandparents. Thankfully, that day-to-day routine bike trip,rain orsunshine,tempered my strong character. I have been holding myself to higheststandards, academically and physically from primary school days through tocollege life. I have grown up all these years amongst top cohorts and have beenexposed to varied horizons and dimensions of school life in and outside ofclassroom. I am perfectly healthy and stong with a sharp mind and demonstratedcommitment to teamwork. I was handpicked to play for school baseball team when Iwas in primary school. Back then, my proven leadership and excellent skills inthe field assured my coach that I was born to be a team leader. And I didjustice to his well-timed appointment by heading a team of Beijing to compete inShanghai and Hong Kong several times. And the strong track record of outoutstanding performances each time still fills me with pride and excitementtoday. During one match tour to Hong Kong in the 1990s, I was immediatel exposedto the enviable luxury and prosperity of the city,the dynamic economic center ofAsia. That trip awakened me ,for the first time, to the value of wealth andfinance. And it was that very journey to the thriving metropolis that shaped myambition to be a financer.

　　Years later,when the colleg entrance exam came,that moment of life anddeath for most of senior high school students in China,my top preference wasFinance Colllege of Beijing Technology and Business Unversity. The result cameas a sad surprise as I was admitted to Computer Science College instead. But Istuck with my dream major and decided to minor in finance. I have since workedhard to equip myself with systematic knowledge of finance. As a result , I amdnow well on my way to graduation with double degrees in both computer scienceand finance in 20__.

　　During my college days,I led my cohorts in starting up a micro company as Idabbled into the real business world. We settled for newspaper as our maidenattempt.. As a new horn,I took a hands-on approach, from editing to circulating,from cost control to market survey. My strong leadership and sunergy of theentire team kept this mini organization going pretty well in its infancy. Yetinexperience in operation and cost management led to a failed business in theend. But I saw the silver lining in the failed venture. I now know more aboutwhere I need to work on. When I was a little boy, my parents taught me how tomanage money in the safest way. They helped me put my pocket money in the bankand get interest as a return. Now, as a grown-up already,I recognize thatsystematic learning and book knowledge can truely help me know how much moreabout what finance is all about. Naturally, as one’s knowledge about swimmingincreases, the desire to swim in the sea grows. Yet, with more academicexposure, I have come to realize how I am ill-equipped with the knowledge neededto stay afloat in the trubulent sea of finance. That self-conscious humblenessversus the profundiy of finance as a much-respected discipline has led me to optfor further study in the US,home to a number of world-class colleges offinance.

　　After meticulous comparision and cross-checking, I have settled for ClarkUniversity,the birthplace of the first-ever graduate school in the US. I trustthat demanding academic standards here and ,best of all ,great mastermind offinance that Clark can offer will undoubtedly broaden my horizon and update myvision as financier of the future. To me,Clark is the best and right place thatcan surely make the difference, academically and professionally alike. I am morethan anxious to embrace those best minds in Clark and contribute my humble partto its huge wealth of knowledge and innovative ideas. I am therefore very muchlooking forward to a positive reply from Clark, my dream campus. May that offercome just in time for my journey towards a rewading learning experience in oneof the greatest colleges in the US.
