I was most influenced by my encounters at the school radio station. There I learned that I must effectively convey the contents of my broadcast with feelings so that my classmates could be reached. Working together with my colleagues as a team, we also tried to search for trends in the student body and the society so as to properly reflect them in our program. It was a challenging assignment, where I mastered the essence of communication and journalism. Later I even began to train new members with my experience, which further fostered my interpersonal skills and teaching proficiency.

我在学校广播电台的遭遇对我的影响最大。在那里，我学到了我必须用感情有效地传达广播的内容，这样才能联系到我的同学。作为一个团队，我们与我的同事一起努力寻找学生群体和社会的趋势，以便在我们的课程中恰当地反映这些趋势。这是一项具有挑战性的任务，我掌握了传播和新闻的精髓。后来，我甚至开始用自己的经验培训新成员，这进一步培养了我的人际交往能力和教学水平。
Because you have expressed an interest in Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematics or Physics, we would like to know a bit more about you. Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to your interest? What experiences beyond school work have broadened your interest? (Feel free to elaborate on one of your previous responses.)
翻译：因为你展现了在化学、计算机科学、地质学、数学或物理方面的兴趣，我们希望多了解你一点。许多大学申请者并不清楚最终的专业。什么因素导致了你的兴趣？又是什么课外经验扩展了这种兴趣？（可以从你之前的一个回答展开）

As early as in elementary school, I already owned my first computer and tried all sorts of technical gimmicks on my own. After entering high school, I became a member of the Tech Club due to my lasting interest. There my faculty adviser presented with many groundbreaking ideas: "The era of mathematical modeling has passed, however using rudimentary computer programming instruments to solve problems is still a primitive approach. The truly advanced technology is computational modeling, where sophisticated systems can vividly present simulated results based on parametric inputs. For instance, by giving the flow rate, width, solubility and so on, we can establish a model of a river and study the influence of solid waste."
The teacher's discourse sounded really amazing to me. But my understanding of this novel subject would still remain at an abstract stage, should I not discover Phun (ph stands for physics), a two-dimensional mechanics simulator. It employs the computer interface to construct lifelike physics models based on the fundamental laws of Newton. In this way, it can realistically replay many scenarios which can only be observed in the laboratory previously. A rectangular drawn by the mouse would become a plank, a circle would become a sphere. In this way, many objects can be built on the fly, and the best part is that action and reaction can be experimented, just like we do with real things.
If we would just set up a simple slope with a plank, then put many other similar planks on it. Initially, the whole system would be stationary. But if the friction coefficient is halved, the planks would fall off one after another!
This seemingly trivial and entertaining example indeed is computer modeling. It inspires me, just like myths of ancient times. Like gods, developers duplicate the rules of the world with codes and reconstruct a complex, precise, harmony, and uniform reality, with the power of computing. Encouraged by this vision, I have taught myself the C programming language to control the "brain" of my robot. After months of effort, I even won a competition with my work, which can intelligently circumvent obstacles in its path.
I am confident the technology will swiftly develop and mature, eventually saving all the mice in biological laboratories and even reveal the truth behind the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. I truly long for that day and wish to usher in it with my own devotion.

早在小学的时候，我就拥有了我的第一台电脑，并且自己尝试了各种技术手段。进入高中后，由于我持久的兴趣，我成为了科技俱乐部的一员。在那里，我的教员顾问提出了许多开创性的想法：“数学建模的时代已经过去，但是使用基本的计算机编程工具来解决问题仍然是一种原始的方法。真正先进的技术是计算建模，复杂的系统可以根据参数输入生动地呈现模拟结果。例如，通过给出流速、宽度，溶解度等，我们可以建立河流模型，研究固体废物的影响。"
老师的演讲对我来说真是太棒了。但如果我没有发现Phun（ph代表物理学），我对这门新学科的理解仍将停留在一个抽象的阶段，Phun是一个二维力学模拟器。它利用计算机接口，根据牛顿基本定律建立逼真的物理模型。通过这种方式，它可以真实地重现许多以前只能在实验室中观察到的场景。鼠标画的长方形会变成木板，圆形会变成球体。通过这种方式，许多物体可以在飞行中建造，最好的部分是动作和反应可以进行实验，就像我们对真实物体所做的那样。
如果我们只是用一块木板搭建一个简单的斜坡，然后在上面放置许多其他类似的木板。最初，整个系统将处于静止状态。但是如果摩擦系数减半，木板就会一块一块地掉下来！
这个看似琐碎而有趣的例子就是计算机建模。它激励着我，就像古代的神话一样。就像神一样，开发人员用代码复制世界规则，用计算能力重建复杂、精确、和谐和统一的现实。在这一愿景的鼓舞下，我自学了C编程语言来控制机器人的“大脑”。经过几个月的努力，我甚至用我的作品赢得了一场比赛，它可以巧妙地避开前进道路上的障碍。
我相信这项技术将迅速发展和成熟，最终拯救生物实验室中的所有老鼠，甚至揭示6500万年前恐龙灭绝背后的真相。我真的渴望那一天，并希望以我自己的奉献精神迎接它。
