“You’re at Georgia Tech, you can do that!” The viral video of Nicholas Selby’s badass speech is definitely a welcoming break from sophisticated, indoctrinating passages that boast ranking, faculty-student ratio, and expensive swimming pools. His message energized every part of my body. I do want to achieve excellence by challenging myself in Honors Physics, I do want to venture to the unexplored frontier by studying quantum computing, and I do want to crush the shoulders of giants by collaborating with like-minded friends in the laboratory and the field. Georgia Tech, a beacon of creativity and innovation, will be the launchpad of my dream-pursuing journey. As a young physicist and yellowjacket, I will make the impossible possible and change the world!
To me, both words in your motto have distinct meanings. My progress is a long and winding journey to the Holy Grail of physics. The four years at college is nothing compared to the history of modern physics that lasts for centuries, yet the challenge only ignited my passion for a career in academia. My service is to be one with the community and live up to my ideals. By serving others, I could feel a kind of true happiness and the connection between my transient life and something bigger.
The real magic happens when the two worlds collide. By tutoring a classmate for years, I not only helped her understand the basic elements of physics, but also pushed myself into reviewing and mastering relevant topics. What’s more, the routine tutoring sessions improved my communication ability immensely. By progress we serve, and through service we progress.
留学文书译文（机翻）：
“你在佐治亚理工大学，你可以做到！”尼古拉斯·塞尔比（NicholasSelby）恶棍演讲的病毒式视频无疑是一个令人欢迎的突破，它打破了那些吹嘘排名、师生比例和昂贵游泳池的复杂、灌输式的段落。他的信息激励着我身体的每一部分。我真的想通过在荣誉物理学上挑战自己来获得卓越，我真的想通过研究量子计算来冒险到未经探索的前沿，我真的想通过与实验室和领域中志同道合的朋友合作来粉碎巨人的肩膀。佐治亚理工大学是创造力和创新的灯塔，将是我追寻梦想之旅的出发点。作为一名年轻的物理学家和yellowjacket，我将使不可能成为可能，并改变世界！
对我来说，你座右铭中的两个词都有不同的含义。我的进步是通往物理学圣杯的漫长而曲折的旅程。四年的大学生活与数百年来的现代物理学史相比微不足道，然而这一挑战只点燃了我对学术事业的热情。我的服务是与社区融为一体，实现我的理想。通过服务他人，我可以感受到一种真正的幸福，以及我短暂的生活和更大的东西之间的联系。
真正的魔法发生在两个世界碰撞的时候。通过辅导一位同学多年，我不仅帮助她理解了物理学的基本原理，而且还促使自己复习和掌握了相关的主题。此外，例行辅导课程极大地提高了我的沟通能力。通过进步我们服务，通过服务我们进步。
