Years back, my favorite manga was Doraemon. The blue, roundish robot has a pocket linked to another dimension, where he stores all sorts of futuristic gadgets. He has a torch that can “zoom” anything, a door that can reach any place within 10 light-years, and miniature bamboo-copters that can let one roam freely in the sky. As a child, I dreamed to have his time machine and see the future and past with my own eyes.

The first time I met X, the founder of the acclaimed Y, was at a lecture about general relativity and black hole. It eventually drew me to his “Theoretical Physicist Classroom,” which aims at inspiring high school students with the full glory of advanced physics. His vivid and often humorous discourse stimulated my intellectual curiosity to a new height.

Finally, in a tournament, I studied the process of a water bomb hitting a flat surface. When I replayed the recording of the high-speed camera in the School Physics Club, everybody burst into laughter at the resemblance between a highly compressed balloon and excrement. Physics can really pull off a neat trick that has a charm in its own right.

留学文书译文（机翻）：

几年前，我最喜欢的漫画是哆啦A梦。这个蓝色的圆形机器人有一个与另一个维度相连的口袋，在那里他可以储存各种未来派的小玩意。他有一个可以“缩放”任何东西的火炬，一个可以在10光年内到达任何地方的门，还有一个可以让人在空中自由漫游的微型竹直升机。小时候，我梦想拥有他的时间机器，用自己的眼睛看到未来和过去。

我第一次见到广受赞誉的Y的创始人X，是在一次关于广义相对论和黑洞的演讲中。它最终把我吸引到了他的“理论物理学家课堂”，该课堂旨在用先进物理学的全部荣耀激励高中生。他生动而幽默的话语把我的求知欲激发到了一个新的高度。

最后，在一次比赛中，我研究了水弹击中平面的过程。当我在学校物理俱乐部重放高速摄像机的录像时，每个人都因高度压缩的气球和粪便之间的相似之处而大笑。物理学真的可以完成一个巧妙的技巧，它本身就有魅力。

AADPS老师文书点评：无论希望在美国大学里学习什么专业，好奇心都是一个难能可贵的品质。在留学文书中体现好奇心，可以从多角度出发，给出一些令人信服的细节（如机器猫的道具或高速摄像机记录的水球形变），展现自己探索之旅的深度和广度。

家长感言：AADPS顾问在申请的过程中一直非常上心。我们家的孩子属于偏才的类型，但意外和老师很聊得来，发掘出好几个很有意思的素材最终也都用上了。
