Personal Statement

It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the length of time that one

can

live

or

the

material

abundance

that

one

can

acquire,

but

in

the

richness

and

the

wonderfulness

of

life

itself.

With

the

increase

of

my

age,

many

things

in

my

life

have

changed. But one thing remains constant, that is, I will consistently insist on doing what I

like to do and hope that my endeavors can be valuable to the life of others. I see this as

the only way whereby I can realize the value of my life.

My undergraduate study focused on economics and I achieved remarkable scholastic

performance in this field. My GPA is 3.44 (my GRE score is 2020 and TOEFL---- ). For

four

consecutive

years

of

my

undergraduate

study,

I

received

scholarships

for

my

distinguished

academic

performance.

Due

to

my

equally

prominent

performance

in

extracurricular activities I was conferred on the Outstanding Student in Campus Activities.

However, honestly speaking, my real interest lies not in economics, but in education. Ever

since I was a primary school student, I had cherished a strong desire for a teaching career

exemplified by my teachers. In the actual teaching career that I embarked on upon my

graduating from university, I have become increasingly aware that the existing educational

conditions in China are far from satisfactory. The backward teaching methodology and the

prevailing pedagogical ideology have rendered Chinese education out of place with the

modern international development in education. On the macro level, the current education

theory and practice in China lag significantly behind advanced countries in the West. For

instance,

though

education

via

the

internet

has

achieved

considerable

development

in

past two years, in practical operation such education has more often than not deteriorated

into

an

extended

form

of

the

conventional

examination-oriented

education

instead

of

a

really interactive process. In my personal experience, despite the fact that some of the

problems

that

I

have

encountered

in

my

teaching

career

can

be

solved

by

consulting

relevant technical literature, I have found that the more serious flaws inherent in China's

current educational system cannot be worked out easily. Under such circumstances, an

advanced program in education becomes necessary.

In this age of information, traditional education, both in its ideology and methodology,
