Personal Statement
When I was just a little girl, I thought, as many children did, that teacher is a fairly respectable occupation and decided to be a teacher in the future. Years passed, teachers are still respectable people in my mind, but the ideal occupation in my point of view has changed. Now, educators, not those simple teachers, are the noblest people in my opinion, and I think that can be the ideal occupation.
The difference between teachers and educators is that teachers only teach students one subject. Although sometimes they perhaps would teach students how to be a good man, it is still somehow unitary. But an educator is different, maybe he /she began his/her career as a teacher, but as an educator he/she puts more emphasis on how to cultivating qualified people that just meet the society’s needs. It is universally known that China is now developing in a really rapid pace and the pace is tending to become even more rapid. Consequently, well-educated and qualified people in particular fields will be wanted for years. So here are the things which a good educator should do—know the situation of our country thoroughly, recognize what kinds of people are wanted most eagerly, then begin their work. To this extent, educators play a rather vital role in the development of the society as their work will be the main determinant if the society has enough particular human resource to achieve the heavy tasks.
As was mentioned before, the base of educators’ work is the ability to understand the situation of the society and the trend of the society’s development. Educators will be capable to judge what kinds of people to cultivate with it. To possess this kind of ability, one should command a wide range of knowledge, such as economy, politics and social system, so that he/she can have sound judgement. And among these, economy is the base. That is the reason why I decide to choose Accounting and Finance Route as my major in the university.
What’s more, since China has already become a member of WTO and is one of the countries which has significant increase in international trade, it is necessary that those who learn economy should be brought into contact with advanced ideas of other parts in the world. I think XXX can provide me opportunities to learn advanced things abroad and this is XXX’s main advantage.
I regard myself as a girl who has a strong curiosity, that is, I always have a strong curiosity about the things around me, especially those things I don’t know. If I could get the chance to study in XXX, that would be nice without doubt. Studying in XXX is the first step for me to achieve my dream of being an educator, so I will certainly take it seriously and make full use of all the resources that XXX provides me to learn all the things I can learn. Hoping that XXX can be my bridge to my success in my dream of being an educator!
