Question 1

The experiences I have been able to learn from school have been beneficial to my success in college, both academically and socially. As a child whose parents live in China, my closest family members have been my siblings, who have been able to raise me to become the adult that I am today. My childhood experiences have been a result of a healthy environment where my brothers and sisters have taught me how to relate to others. Some of my most memorable experiences have been during the time I went to summer camp, where I was able to volunteer as a teacher in some of the schools. As a teacher, I was able to gain firsthand experience in instilling knowledge to others. When I joined college, I was able to value the work of teachers through doing my part to perform better. Other activities included games and tasks that required teamwork and coordination between members. As such, I was able to learn how to perform tasks and learn that co-operation leads to effectiveness. This translated positively in my college academic experience where I was able to carry out certain tasks such as group assignments effectively. My father’s business encouraged me to believe that I could also achieve success as long as I worked hard both academically and develop certain forms of discipline. Since I lacked many older mentors as I was growing up, I needed to make important decisions, which enabled me to become an effective decision maker who is able to acknowledge and handle the consequences of these choices.
