Personal Statement

I am XXX, from XXX). I believe in such truth-- success never ends. Success is not only the discontinuous moment, but also the self-transcendence and restraint at any time.

I have certain good qualities to success. The First one is optimism, which I benefit from my mother. Thanks to my mother's influence, I was able to face the failure of the exam that was for arts special students, which I prepared for three years. Optimistic attitudes and frustration that I overcame train me the strong fighting spirits against difficulties. I believe I will face all the challenges and possible failures with a smile.

Besides optimism, another spirit is drilling exploration. For example, I spent two self-study class time figuring out a physical problem (such as the nature of circular motion), let problems go unless I resolve them completely; on the way from classroom to cafeteria, I can keep arguing with friends on topics such as "actions and good thoughts ? which one is real charity" and so on. In my opinion, with such drilling spirits, I will sweep away all the obstacles in my future study.

The last one but not the least one, I am a caring person. During my spare time, I go to Nursing House to chat with old people there to make them feel warm and happy. And I always go to special schools to teach those mentally-disabled children to sing and dance. So I like to read books written by Romain Rolland and Mandela.

Except these characters, I am versatile. Through years of study, I have a high musical quality, but also develop a gritty, upbeat personality. As I have a comprehensive talent in art, I often served as host of activities at school, which gave an excellent way to exercise my organization and management skills.

In senior high school, I took active part in all kinds of activities. As a host, I hosted many activities, including the school’s sports meeting, awards ceremony and so on. In the speech competition of science festival I use proper expressions to encourage the competitors in different conditions, handling the competition successfully..

As the vice monitor and literature and art committeeman, I not only took charge of the class daily routine, but also planned and organized different class activities, such as class meetings, class chorus and created the class song. Since I am good at singing, I joined the school choir and took part in choir contests.

However all these activities did not have negative influence on my subjects

learning. I always kept among the top of the science students of the grade. With the good results in study, I received different prizes. During the summer vacation of grade 2, I got IELTS X.

It is worth mentioning that I was honored to be selected as a student delegate to participate in the activity to visit Japan in March, 2012. During the visit, I communicated with local people from all walks of life and visited local kindergartens, middle schools and universities. I showed the elegant demeanor of Chinese students and broaden my horizon at the same time. After witnessing the advantages of Japanese society, I set objectives in my mind.

I believe I will adapt to the new environment and graduate with excellent grades. I am sure I can stand out from other talents in the University of Hong Kong.

第二篇：港大自荐信 henry

The seed of the dream emerged from my journey to Hong Kong at the age of 8.Hong Kong, with its unique historical background, is home to residents from all over the world. It is Hong Kong’s diversification of global culture and good social order that attract me most. I have made up my mind to make my way to the dream destination, HKU, which is generally acknowledged as the best university in Asia where advanced educational philosophies, such as” the whole person education” are the main focus. This not only adapts to my personal character but broaden my horizon with an English-teaching atmosphere as well.

During my trip to the UK, the strong curiosity drives me to walk into every corner of the college in Oxford, however, what I get surprised most is the perfect preservation of the old architecture despite the long history. Compared to the situation in UK, China still has a long way to go, reflected from its poor architecture preserving system and the lack of cultural consciousness. Therefore, I deeply realize the importance of protecting the precious heritage and decide to devote myself into the Bachelor of Arts in Conservation Studies.

I grow up with a great sense of social responsibility. I used

to be a volunteer served in the old people’s home. Every minute when I talk with those poor people do I find how much care and help they need from the society.(想用一个every time的倒装句型，好像有些问题) Thus, with the courage and the persistence ,I consider it my responsibility to build up a better life for弱势群体。The Bachelor of Social Work in HKU provides me with a perfect platform to achieve my dream.

HKU, I am approaching you with enthusiasm, will you open the window for me?

香港的多元化 国际化 秩序井然的社会深深吸引我。我幼小的心灵就强烈地渴望认识香港，认识中国，认识世界。我暗下决心一定要考到香港大学，这所公认亚洲最好的大学。香港大学拥有先进的教学理念，例如全人教育，这正和我兴趣广泛的个人性格相适应，除此之外它还能够提供一个全英语的教学环境。

我是一个热爱旅游的人，在英国游学的旅途中我徒步走完了每一个学院，我惊讶地发现历史悠久的牛津直到今天依然讲古建筑保存的完好无损，相比之下，拥有五千年历史的中国的建筑文物在日新月异的发展中却遭到了破坏。因此，我深切意识到文物保护的重要性并热衷于进入HKU学习建筑文物保护专业，将来可以致力于建筑文物和城市文物的保护发展。

我从小就有着很强的社会责任感。我认为生命的价值在于为社会创造价值。我曾经养老病院与老人们亲切沟通。在交谈中，我发现了这些社会的弱势群体需要得到社会的关心与帮助。这是需要耐力和勇气的工作，这与我执着认真的性格十分契合，我愿意进入HKU学习社会工作学，将来做一名热情，乐于助人的社会工作者

香港大学是一个充满机遇与挑战的地方。相信我可以在这个自由的环境下实现自己的人生理想。
