About

I am currently an Economics and Finance student of Jon M. Huntsman School of Business in Utah State University in Logan, UT. I am an international student who came from China. When I began to take the courses of Jon M. Huntsman School of Business about two years ago, I have tried my best to study and get great grades in all of my courses. I must study much harder than native American students because English is not my mother language. Making great effort, I have received great grade every semester. My overall GPA is 3.92 and I am a student of Dean's List in every semester. And I have been selected to receive Chinese National Motivational Scholarship in 2014. I also have been selected as the receiver of a scholarship award from China Cooperative Academic Programs of Utah State University. Besides studying, I also took part in a lot of activities to practice myself. In China, I have served in a charity organization and taught primary students in remote mountainous regions as a volunteer. After studying in Utah State University, I also participated in community service activities.
