Hello, everyone. This is Kate speaking. I’m very glad to be an API tutor this semester for precalculus. Well, I am quite a busy person, I take many classes and frequently go to the library. You can also sometimes find me in the fitness center, swimming pool or yoga classroom.

I also like talking to people and making new friends. Some people think we should only make friends with exceptional people so that we can be positively influenced by them. But in my opinion, we should make friends with different kinds of people as much as possible. It does not matter who our friends are, but what kind of person we want to become. It is our own strength of mind that ultimately decides who we become.  Making friends with people from different cultures and backgrounds provides us with a new way to see the world and helps us find out who we are. For me, dealing and interacting with different people is such an interesting experience that sometimes when I am with new people, I feel like I am inside a novel.   

I think this is why I am deeply interested in business. Advertising myself, persuading people, thinking of new ideas, important parts of business is so much fun for me. If I stop here, you probably think I’m majoring in business, but haha, I’m a student in Environmental Science. I love nature , science and exploring how things work .If you think about it, we live in a really amazing world. How come outer space looks so much similar to an atom? Does the earth we live in appear to be an atom for another significant world? Perhaps the atom is another tiny earth? I am eager to discover the unknown world.

Well as you can see, I am interested in so many things. But I have made up my mind to concentrate in one area, environmental science. My future plan is to study in this area, and design a new applied system for protecting the environment. I always think. What will I be five years from now? I cannot foresee the future, but I am sure that five years from now I will be more mature, be more specific in my goals, better understand the meaning of my life, and be closer to the person that I want to become.

At last I want to say, one of the ideas I like most is expressed in this American saying, “Aim high, dream big.” I believe the first essence of a person who wants to be successful is ambition . Start with a dream, set up a goal, and then make a plan, step by step, get closer and closer to the goal, so the dream can come true. What are we waiting for? Let’s do it!
