 My Background
On the surface, I am like most senior high students .I take school work seriously. I have dreams and goals in the future that I am determined to carry out.
My name is Hsu-Hui-Min. I was born in Kaohsiung city. Because I was born in a Christian family, my parents educate me in a special way.
My mother, who plays an important role in my life, always teaches me everything in God’s word, especially from the book of Psalm and Proverbs. My father is not just my teacher but also my best friend. He always shared his rich experiences and colorful childhood memories to me. I indeed learn a lot from him.
As to my elder sister, she affects me to be an independent girl. Whenever I had problems and troubles, I must do my best to solve them before asked for others. My brother is younger than me by seven years, so that I have the chance to be his teacher. Meanwhile, I found it is not an easy job and the field is worthy studying as well in the future.

 My Personality
 Optimistic: I always like to look on the bright side.
 Considerate: I always think of others feeling.
 Easy-going: I always make other feel comfortable.
 Independent: I will do my best before ask for others.
 Introspective: I like to think and observe people and things around me. I am sensitive and like to meditate.

 My Studying Experiences
Since I was a child, out of my curiosity, any new language aroused my interest. Besides, my English teachers always taught us with pleasure, which made me love English further.
When I entered junior high school, thanks to my English teachers’ considerate teaching, I almost did perfectly at my English grades. As a result, they gave me full confidence and built a firm foundation for me as a stepping stone to my learning English at senior high school.
My English ability has improved largely since I was a senior high school student. I have come across many English teachers of different styles and have learned plenty of things from each one. Some taught us how to enjoy a music opera, some introduced famous literatures to us and some strengthened our Basic English abilities.
In addition, I joined our school’s “English Studying Club”, which was led by practical teachers. They always arranged a lot of different kind of courses for us in order to let us realize the English department more and train our listening, speaking and reading and comprehension abilities.

 Extracurricular activities
I usually spent my leisure time joining our church’s “English Bible Studying Fellowship”, which is taught by an American missionary, Marianne Lambert. We sang the songs, played the games, shared our feeling, asked some questions, and discussed Bible’s parables. Due to all English, I can train my listening and oral abilities at the same time.
I found it is really interesting to “discover” the great Bible. Many times when I read the Bible as a story or a literature, I cannot see the real word behind the words. Much to my surprise, by her teaching, in totally different eyesight, I can see more clearly.
Besides, I really gained a lot of significant meanings from this fellowship and I was appreciated for her help to improve my oral ability.

 Motivation
I have a relative who lived in Taipei and their children all study in American school. Every time I met them, I admired their English very much and they also motivated me to sharpen up my English well as them.
I prefer learning English naturally, just like one part of our daily lives. In my leisure time, I like to watch HBO or some other foreign movie, read magazines or famous literature and listen to the redio-4U magazines, landmark and Bilingual Weekly. It quite a good way to improve one’s English listening skill by watch HBO or Discovery, etc. Referring to my personality, I am easygoing and ambitious. I like to get along with people and always do my best to achieve goals.

I am applying for college, English department
