Personal Statement

　　I always believe that the opportunities only dawned on those with full preparations. On Nov. 17 this year, I participated in the selective trial of the registered accountants held by China Registered Accountant Association, in which I ranked to the top in the examinations and will be sent to practise in the big international accounting company in foreign country. It is a very competitive trial with over 150 excellent students majoring in accounting as the participators, including those in xxx University and xxx University. When my friend asked me how I prepared for this contest and got such a good score, I told them that the only thing I did was to keep a smooth heart and full confidence towards the precipitate contest. Actually, for years, I have never stopped making preparations by learning carefully and diligently for the coming of the contest.

　　Two years ago when I first entered our university, I was selected into the best class in our school for my outstanding score. This class consists of 150 excellent students out of 3000 freshmen that year with the best professors (Including the president of the school, department dean and the doyen professors on every subject) teaching us. Therefore, my view was largely broadened in the nutritious studying atmosphere, where I was deeply influenced by their researching experience and personal charms as well as learning abundant professional knowledge and cultivating my unique ideas. Besides, many of my learning habits and thinking styles came from the study there. Meanwhile however, I also shouldered heavy pressure because we must be the best in such a class under the attention of all the teachers and students in the school. Therefore, I tried to do everything perfectly without missing any small problem. At the end of last year, I happened to find the suggestion collection paper for the “Asset Decrease Accounting Standard” on the website, which was quite different from what I learnt in books. Cherishing the aroused interest, I spent over one month in learning this standard carefully by reading large amount of files and discussing with my teacher for the cognition of the developing process, problems and influence to the registered companies of the Asset Decrease Calculation. Finally, I published my article on the core magazine of “Finance and Accounting”. Besides, I am a girl who liked challenges. On completing my study in the three years, I accepted many challenges without any hesitation. I could get much pleasure when racing with time because I believe that the valuable use of every minute means the success. Therefore, I was very excited to be able to enter the graduate school one year earlier than other students in class taking advantage of my insistent efforts to learn twice as much knowledge as them. Meanwhile, I am very proud that I got the first scholarship in my sophomore year for my excellent score.

　　In spite of the limited spare time with 5-6 hours on my daily courses, I actively found many opportunities to do the extracurricular work. For example, I asked my teacher for assisting him with his subject and helping him to summarize the files because I am always trying to form my own points by summarizing the knowledge I learnt. I think that study is an active action, which required me to find some opportunities to improve myself independently. Taking advantage of my excellent behavior, I was finally admitted by the professors and participated in the xxx Social and Scientific Layout Project: “Research on the Accounting Information Transmission Mechanism based on the Company Management” by Professor xxx, in which I was mainly responsible for the Comparison of the Statistics Information Transmission Mechanism among the main countries in the world as the assistant of Professor xx. Through the collection and summarization of the hundreds of files, I further improved reading ability from over ten pages of the Chinese files per hour at the beginning to large amount of English files as well as picking up some useful information per hour. Therefore, my abilities in the information seeking and estimation were largely improved.

　　My campus life is rich and colorful. As the vice president of the Students’Union, who was mainly responsible for the work of Science and Technology Association, I must organize some meaningful extracurricular activities for students with the other members of the Students’ Union like the debates and speech contests etc. In this process, my leadership, organizing and team managing abilities were largely improved. In addition, I was also involved in the work of External Relations Department, which was very difficult and complicated because this department is just similar to the Public Relation Department in the company. It was established mainly to connect with the leaders of the corporations for the fund to our campus activities. It was just the particular work in this department that presented me with a strong communicating ability. Generally, I think that my participation and organization of these extracurricular activities has improved my comprehensive ability, which is very helpful for my future study.

　　Now, my undergraduate study is coming to the end. However, I found that I still have much knowledge to learn as well as further improving my comprehensive ability. Nowadays, the existing professional accounting knowledge system in China is still far behind that in some developed countries, so Chinese government is adopting chain of reforms on the accounting standard in order to meet the international accounting standards. Therefore, I want to further my study on the accounting theories and principles in America, the leading country in this field with a completed economic and accounting system. Additionally, your country has the most advanced educational system in the world, especially combination of the lecture case study with the project researches provided by your esteemed university as the teaching style. Furthermore, in my undergraduate study, we used many English textbooks from the United States because the economic management in your country is the example to the students all around the world. Moreover, I was deeply attracted by the most seasoned professors and many excellent students from all over the world in your esteemed university, where I can broaden my international view I believe. If I am admitted, I believe that my learning, researching, communicating abilities and creativity will be further improved.

　　As a famous Chinese saying goes, “Life is just like climbing up a high peak, when you scale up that peak, you will be amazed to find a more beautiful landscape is appearing in front of you.” So is my study. The success and honor had become the good memories and I must continue my pursuit to the next destination.
