Well, dear professors, thank you, thank you for your question. My Chinese name is ****.My mother gave me this name because she wanted me to be as brave as a soldier. I major in environmental engineering.

I'm convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.So during my time in university,I have regarded reading as a kind of life style.Besides professional books,I exceedingly enjoy reading biographies,especially those of well-known celebrities.I
