>>我感興趣，馬上在線咨詢Ever since I was a young boy, I have been fascinated with mechanical and electronic gadgets. Each day after school, I would rush home to experiment with the various components I scavenged around the neighborhood, trying to construct a viable invention. Though my father was glad to see me so engaged in an interest I loved, he emphasized the importance of a focused education and advised me to commit myself to my studies if I wanted to succeed in the future. I took his words to heart, studying hard through eleven years of primary and high school and earning superior grades and accolades. In 1988, after scoring highly on the university entrance examination, I entered ABC University's Electronic and Precise Mechanical Engineering Department, hoping to gain a solid foundation that would help me expand upon my love of technology. Because I had worked so hard throughout my life to be admitted to such a prestigious university, I concentrated on my studies with intense vigor, earning high marks my initial semester of university education.
   During my second semester, however, my life changed forever. Each of my parents suffered from successive, life-threatening illnesses that forced them to become hospitalized for extended treatment. As the only son, I knew it was my filial duty to care for them throughout their painful ordeals, but I did so more out of love and respect than cultural necessity. Even though I was under pressure to succeed in my classes, I made my parents my first priority, spending all my free time with them. Each day after classes, I went to the hospital to speak with them, read to them, and just sit nearby as a sense of comfort. During each winter and summer holiday, I worked to pay for the mounting medical bills and other miscellaneous family expenses, since I was now the breadwinner of the family. For three years, I endured this most unenviable life, wondering whether my parents would ever fully recover and if I would have to care for them for the rest of their lives. Although I tried to focus on my course work and worked as diligently as I could, I did not have the time necessary to prepare adequately for my classes, which led to grades below my unencumbered potential. However, I was overjoyed when my parents' illnesses were cured after a few years of intense hospital therapy. In 1992, I graduated with a university diploma, but did not meet the requirements for a bachelor's degree certificate. At times I am saddened that I did not have the opportunity to immerse myself fully in university life, but I am proud of my devotion to my parents and to the traditional filial virtues of the Chinese people.
   After graduating from ABC Unversity, I took a position with the Computer Centre of the ABC Postal Bureau in which I maintained and upgraded postal mechanical and electrical appliances, and developed computer applications and software. My first project was to upgrade the parcel processing and sorting machine, which was controlled by a single board computer and was programmed initially using assembly language. In 1993, I single-handedly used a programmable controller to replace the single board computer after mastering the dated assembly language and converting it to the precise programming language used by the programmable controller. Aware of my fervent interest in computer technologies and impressed by the success of my projects, NAME, the department leader, promoted me to the software development department, where I developed complex software applications used by the postal bureau.
   Though I was learning much through various short-term projects, in 1994, I took on a much more involved undertaking, overseeing the development of a postal "Express Mail Service" tracking and inquiry system. Unfortunately, because of the old-fashioned hardware and software in the bureau, the system employed a Netware system from Novell, a Foxpro database, and interface and voice inquiry functions developed using standard C. After several weeks of intense effort and little sleep, I succeeded in creating a new system that passed the stringent technological appraisal of the Ministry of Industry Information. During this project, I realized that I still possessed a limited knowledge of computer science and that I needed further education to advance in my career. Unable to quit my job to study full time, I enrolled in a computer science course offered by the Chinese Computer Distant Learning College, graduating with an honors college diploma and certificate of programming efficiency after two years of part-time study. Armed with my new knowledge, in 1995, I created a banking management information system for the ABC Postal Bank, integrating the Japanese NTT-DATA and OpenTP1, and using the Hitachi 3500 series mini computers, Hitachi-UNIX system, and Oracle databases. My system was employed in all 188 branches of the bureau, which used DDN, X.25, and FR special lines to connect with the central mainframe computer and postal banks nationwide.
   Since 1995, I have maintained the banking management information system, trouble-shooting daily problems and malfunctions, and upgrading the system and network to ensure smooth and effective operation. I used C++ to develop new software to upgrade the main applications, and gained a working knowledge of the UNIX operating system and SQL database through my various projects. With a growing resume of successful projects, I was promoted to engineer in 1998, and, in 2000, I developed a postal bank third-party operation system. The system was a joint venture of the ABC Postal Bureau and the Beijing [NAME] Company and was created to expedite communication and data transfer between the postal bank and third-party agents with additional functions that included phone and mobile phone bill payment, and payroll processing. The system consisted of two IBM M80 mini computers, an IBM AIX operating system, and Oracle databases, was integrated with BEA's TUXEDO, and employed the C/C++ language, allowing it to support a variety of standard communication protocols.
   With nearly ten years professional experience, I have realized that computer technology in China lags far behind that of other more developed countries and that most high-technology applications are imported. While working on the postal bank computer system, I discovered that virtually all the equipment was purchased from other countries, leaving me with the uneasy feeling that Chinese computer professionals lack the knowledge to create advanced hardware and software independently without resorting to international sources. To help combat this problem and to gain an enriching academic experience, I have decided to study computer science abroad through a challenging Master's program. Through such a course of study, I will build the foundation to employ advanced technology and computer science in my native country while fulfilling my dream of gaining a post-secondary degree. Graduate business study in the United Kingdom has drawn my attention, because universities in your country are world renowned, your programs are conducted in a short, focused period of time, and you welcome international students with backgrounds similar to my own. Since I plan to study in the United Kingdom, I have studied the English language and culture in my spare time. In November of 2000, I took the GRE and received a combined score of 2,110, and in October of 2001, I scored a 623 on the TOEFL exam.
   Because of [NAME] university's combination of superior faculty, state-of-the-art research facilities, and diverse student body, I believe it is the best environment in which I will further my knowledge of computer science. As a leading institute in the field of computer science, [NAME] university is home to world-renowned faculty that will point me toward cutting-edge research and help me develop my own studies and programs. After completing your Master's program, I plan to return to my homeland of China, where I will use my advanced knowledge to design and develop innovative computer systems for the ABC Postal Bureau, making them the most advanced computer systems in all of China. >>我感興趣，馬上在線咨詢
