Academic Works

Salem State University

I view education as a profoundly important process in human life and the society we are living in. I am pursuing education because I believe that only education could help me to attain a better life. To become qualified as a student in the United State of America, I strived to learn English and took several exams until I was accepted at Salem State University (SSU). My determination and commitment to education have strengthened my dedication to studying and planning for my schooling at Salem State. I have learned to prepare myself for the new challenges that I will face at Salem State. I always do my best to achieve beyond what is expected of me. As a result, I have earned a high GPA so far and have an impressive academic standing. This allowed me to win SSU's scholarship and become members of two different International Honor Society of Business at SSU. I can not more grateful for the opportunities I have received during my education here.

Before I began my college life, I was just a foreigner who possess little knowledge. I never thought that I could be a good writer until I had learned and practiced for three years in college. I always value and put my school works as the first priority. This page is evidence of my writing progress I wrote from freshman year to senior year. The artifacts on this page documented the development of my knowledge and writing skills I have gained from courses I had taken at SSU. When I looked back, I could not believe what I achieved. I expect to graduate this fall 2018. I hope my knowledge and skills that I have gained at Salem State will help me to continue achieving my goals towards my future career.
