About

An independent, helpful and passionate girl who study in the University of British Columbia now.

In 2016, I went to a summer camp in Vancouver by myself for one month when I was in Grade 6. We lived in the dormitories of the University of British Columbia, and all people in the summer camp were strangers to me. I had to figure out how to take care of myself in a single dorm room and live independently. Adapting quickly to new environment, I gradually become skilled in taking care of myself and arranging my time properly.

I like to help others in both life and study. Attending various volunteering activities during my summer and winter vacations enabled me to make new friends and rethink about the meaning of individual, even personal value. Whenever my friends shared their confusions with me, I would try my best to comfort them and give suggestions.

Always being passionate about life makes me feel proud of myself, also enriches my extracurricular life. I joined the math club and music club in my high school, as well as performed singing and dancing in the Christmas event, which got a lot of wonderful feedback.

My motto: Never Give Up
