Electrical and Electronic Engineering Personal Statement“1% inspiration, 99% aspiration”, Thomas Edison. For me, he is not just an inventor but a wonderful engineer; and his saying condenses basically what an engineer’s job is. Normal as it may seem, today’s society cannot deny the indispensible part of engineering. From a very young age, I was always been fascinated by science. Not only do Mathematics theorem, Physics laws catch my imagination but the way that science provides a logical way of thinking also gives me an insight into how things work. Therefore, I feel the urge to pursuit higher education to have more thorough understanding, especially in electrical and electronics engineering. I was born in a family which has a strong link to this field. My father, who is an electrical engineer, guided and gave me an early-stage idea of what science was about. By helping him with his work, he showed me how to use my hands and tools carefully and effectively. In secondary years, I attended a four-week vocational course in electrical. Although this was a short term course, I was able to repair domestic electric circuit safely and fix some electrical devices. It was this period that gave me the idea electricity is a useful and environmental-friendly source of energy. Almost everybody on Earth use electricity everyday from running their cars to lighting at home, from such small devices as iPods to large machines like aero planes. Having enjoyed science, I achieved good grades in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in secondary study. Moreover, I was among the students who received the “ AEI Education Award” by Australian Education International in Viet Nam. I was also selected for the English team to participate in the inter-school competition. After finishing secondary years, I decided to take A-level course in England to gain deeper understanding in science. As Mathematics is my favorite subject, I won a silver medal in the “UK Mathematical Challenge”; and I am currently taking Further Maths in A2 year. Moreover, Physics is the subject that stimulate my interest in wanting to know how and why natural phenomena occurs. Likewise, I find Chemistry very exciting through the way that atomic interactions can create new substances and materials. Besides theory lectures, I very much like doing practical because it is a convenient way to apply theory into what can be observed and analysed visually. Apart from spending time at school, I play sport to keep fit and to refresh my mind. I usually practice table tennis and football with my friends. Last year, I joined the Vietnamese team to compete in a college tournament between international students and won the third place. Although no medal was given, it was still an remarkable experience during my stay in England. I also read fantasy books such as “Inheritance” by Christopher Paolini, “His Dark Materials” trilogy by Philip Pullman, etc. But in all, I like cooking the most. Although it seems strange for someone going to be an engineer, it is a great time when I could using ingredients to create something new and delicious. Although studying Engineering is a demanding task, I feel that this is a proper direction towards enhancing my knowledge and skills for future career. Should I have the offer, I would make every endeavour in achieving good progress and contributing valuable commitments during my study in the university. Universities Applied to:
