To cure my ailment, I traveled to the States and was bedridden for a whole year. I will be eternally grateful for all those caring individuals who brought positive changes to my life, especially Lisa from Ronald McDonald House. Inspired by their fiery dedication and passion, I plan to return to my homeland China as a social worker and volunteer after college. It is the only way for me to serve children like my former self and pass on the spiritual inheritance of philanthropy.
Davidson will help me to fulfill my dream. To be able to shoulder my responsibilities in full, I will need knowledge on a myriad of topics, namely math, psychology, science, and politics, that can only be offered by a true eclectic curriculum. Davidson, a liberal arts school that values its mission, can adequately prepare me for my destiny. The world-class faculty here solely focuses on the undergraduate, ready to show me the pillars of analysis and free expression in an intimate small class setting. The new learning spaces in the Academic Neighborhood will expand my horizons as well, granting me access to every nourishment much needed for my personal and intellectual growth.
More important, Davidson boasts numerous service opportunities, ranging from Service Odyssey to Alternative Breaks. Like I have been always doing, at Davidson I intend to continue creating value for the people around me and the communities I belong to. There are also many other clubs within the Civic Engagement Council I would love to join, such as Colleges Against Cancer and Red Cross Club. These experiences, when combined with academic training, will empower me to confront and solve delicate issues in today's dynamic world. I believe it to be an indispensable skill for a social worker.
留学文书译文（机翻）：
为了治好我的病，我去了美国，卧床不起整整一年。我将永远感谢所有关心我的人，他们给我的生活带来了积极的变化，特别是罗纳德·麦克唐纳豪斯的丽莎。在他们炽热的奉献精神和激情的鼓舞下，我计划在大学毕业后作为一名社会工作者和志愿者回到祖国中国。这是我唯一能像从前一样为孩子们服务并传承慈善精神遗产的方法。
戴维森将帮助我实现我的梦想。为了能够完全肩负起我的责任，我将需要关于无数主题的知识，即数学、心理学、科学和政治，这些只有通过真正的折衷课程才能提供。戴维森，一所重视使命的文科学校，可以为我的命运做好充分准备。这里的世界级教师只关注本科生，准备在一个亲密的小班教学环境中向我展示分析和自由表达的支柱。学术社区的新学习空间也将拓展我的视野，让我获得个人和智力成长所需的一切营养。
更重要的是，戴维森拥有众多的服务机会，从服务奥德赛到替代休息。就像我一直在做的那样，在戴维森，我打算继续为我周围的人和我所属的社区创造价值。在公民参与委员会中，我还想加入许多其他俱乐部，如癌症学院和红十字会。这些经验，再加上学术培训，将使我能够面对和解决当今动态世界中的微妙问题。我相信这是一个社会工作者不可或缺的技能。

AADPS老师文书点评：虽然原则上Why文书内容要紧密联系学校，但是如果自身有特殊情况并和学校能扯上关系，也是可以用一两段稍微说明的。事实上Why文书由于是每个学校自己出的题目，招生官在审材料的时候一般也会格外留意，不会错过。
家长感言：本来并没有奢望20名以前的文理学院，因为这几年申请也确实越来越卷了。在AADPS老师们的帮助和指导下，认真做了简历并有针对性outreach了五所目标学校进行面试，意外取得了很好的效果。勉励孩子在Davidson也要继续努力。万分感谢！
