Education at the University of Delaware - Personal Statement Example

As part of my growth and student life, I have come to appreciate the importance of giving equal opportunities to all people despite the social class, the ethnicity of origin. Having come from China and studied mostly out of my home country, I came to experience instances where opportunities, for instance, to lead in student organizations could be denied to me because largely because of my origin. In order to overcome the situation, I stood high and rose against discrimination of any kind, proved my ability to both teachers and fellow students hence finally won the confidence of both.

This is a strength I will be carrying with me to Delaware. One accomplishment that has taken a great deal of my time and effort was learning a second language, fitting in a new learning environment and keeping the pace of native students. As a foreign student in America, I have encountered challenges to do with communication and as such had to put a lot of effort towards overcoming the same. My motivation has always been never giving up my academic success and thus I became a friend of teachers as well as other students who assisted me a great deal in learning the new language.

Being close to teachers and being able to quickly befriend other students was quite helpful as I was able to overcome the fear of being laughed at.
