You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

- Doctor Seuss (1904-1991), American author, illustrator

Chinese education has been famous of its harsh disciplines and large workload, which has driven students to focus only on their academic work and hardly care about experiences off-campus that are important to their lives. However, while I have been as diligent as possible on campus and achieved good grades and high academic performances, I have also successfully stood out of the majority of Chinese students in all kinds of activities off-campus. Some of the activities seemed has very little relevance to my majors, but as an old Chinese wisdom has indicated, "knowledge can not only be acquired from teachers; a wise person can learn from and be inspired by any kinds of experiences that he goes through".
