Family Background
My name is Pei-Yin, Jiang. I was born in a harmonious family. There are five people in my family, including my parents, one brother, one younger sister, and me. My father is a board mould master worker. He is an easygoing person. I learn to treat people kindly and always be enthusiastic about helping people from him. Furthermore, he also teaches me that harmony is most precious. He is the person who I admire most. My mother is an efficient career woman, who is a female tycoon in my eyes. Her motto is “Failure is nothing to be ashamed of. What’s shameful is losing motivation because of it.” Consequently, she always stirs me to try out everything courageously, and always reminds me about that everyone makes mistakes, so do not be afraid. My brother and sister are students. When we encounter difficulties, we would give each other a hand. Brought up in such a nice family, I have become a responsible, honest and mild-mannered person.
School life
I am studying at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School . I’m glad to choose the NTCVS as my senior high school. It’s a pleasure to befriend my classmates. They are always willing to bear me a hand when I encountered difficulties. We study together and encourage each other to be more hard-working. Teaching and learning promote each other. Hence, we all make great progress in English.
I served as the head of the cleaning crew as a freshman and served as the treasurer when I am a senior. As the head of the cleaning crew, I needed to ensure everyone has done their clean-up work and keep our class clean. Moreover, when I was the treasurer in our class, I needed to take care of our class fees. These experiences help me learn how to be more responsible to anything. Furthermore, I also learned how to cooperate with my classmates harmoniously in order to make our class better. And I realized that it was not easy to lead a whole class to finish one thing, it needed everyone’s coordination. It’s really a worthy experience.
Self-evaluation
Many people say I look so serious and unfriendly when I don’t smile. But actually, I am an easygoing person as long as you are familiar with me. When I decide to do one thing, I will persistently carry through the work to the end, and do it with patience. I always adhere to principles that do not bother others and be kind-hearted. Being influenced by my family, I am enthusiastic about helping those who are in need, being responsible for everything I did.
After school, I would stay at school and review lessons in class with my classmates, so we could discuss what we didn’t understand in the class. Moreover, I would play volleyball with friends in order to win the intramural volleyball game, since I was selected as a member of participants in my class. However, I didn’t play very well, and I was a little afraid of playing volleyball with my teammates, due to their unfriendly facial expressions. Despite my recreance, they still pointed out my mistakes for correction patiently. This experience had taught me a lesson that never shrink back from difficulties.
Future Perspectives
Interested in English, I will choose English as my major in university, since I don’t want to stop making progress in my English ability. Hence, I will spare no efforts to strengthen all aspects of English abilities. What’s more, I’d like to be a useful person who can put what I have learned into practice in society. And I set up a goal to be an outstanding tour guide who is capable of introducing Taiwan to the whole world with excellent English ability and communicating with foreigners fluently. While now I haven’t had enough competency for being a tour guide because it requires a variety of knowledge. Therefore, I hope I can be admitted to the university to receive further training in all aspects of English skills. By doing so, I can achieve my dream step by step.
Conclusion
I am really yearning to be admitted to National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism. Although my English competence still leaves something to be desired, I will do my utmost to advance my ability and make good use of the four years in university. Sincerely, I hope that after you read my autobiography my qualification will affirm that I am a competitive applicant.
