A boy comes from Hangzhou, China Here for studying, for the future successes.

Empathy is one of my top 5 strength. Although sometime I don't agree with other's opinions, I will not refute them immediately. Oppositely, I will consider that why they think about these and try to stand on their sides in order to realize things deeply. I strongly believe this kinds of quality is pretty positive for academics and social networks. My empathy serves as a good way to bring more friends to me because I always can make the relationships between me and friends better. They view me as a kind, easygoing person. That's really enjoyable and makes my life more colorful.

I want to talk about my dream job. Because of my strong passions for sports, I wan to create a company which concentrates on training athlete's stamina, making them run fast, jump higher in order to obtain better performances in games. I really enjoy this kind of feeling when my athletes get good grades in games. I serves as a leaf behind flowers, giving them supports as much as possible. That's why I pick exercise science as my major in Ohio State University. It is really my biggest dream.

The time past so quick and there are some words I want to give to new students next years.

1. Prepare for class before you go

When I first took courses in OSU, I was pretty confused about everything. Taking Chemistry 1210 as a good example. When ifirst came to lab, there were many stuffs I did not see in China which made me pretty confused when T.A. talked about how to use them and the locations of them. After that, I always prepared for lab before I went to lab, knowing the uses and name of all kinds of stuffs in lab. That's made my lab became easy. The benefits for preparing early are not only for chemistry lab, but also for other kinds of courses.

2. Manage your money

Like many first year students, I didn't manage my money when I first arrived here which made my savings decreased quickly. After that, I made a plan for using money, such as made a daily limit for using money. This method was useful.

Before I went to Columbus, I really thought that was a big city because I saw Columbus was ranked at No.15 in US. But after I arrived here, many things were pretty different from what I thought about. Like a beautiful village, I even could not buy some brands of shoes or clothes. But on the other hand, this environment was good for studying
