I didn’t try to convince him at first. Instead I asked another team member for her opinion and found out she seemed to be more supportive of me. Therefore, I completely convinced her and listened to her thoughts first then I set up a group meeting two days later to make sure he was calmed down and tried to persuade him together.

How could your best friend describe my personality?
My best friend once said that I’m a very easygoing person. I can get along well with different types of people. When I’m with my friends and classmates, I’m a good listener and often think from other people’s perspective. Meanwhile, I’m really patient with kids. For example, I volunteered as a math tutor in a middle school in Seattle and was responsible to help students to fix errors in the past exams and solved their doubts in math; and meanwhile Assist teachers to implement in-class activities. However, some students who really needed help refused to talk to me. I spent several weeks to make them get used to me.

Tell me about an activity or internship that you worked so hard. What is the outcome?
under the guidance of my professor Peter Guttorp, two of my classmates and I conducted the research on the topic of “whether the frequency of large snowstorms and intensity of annual accumulation of snowfall on the East Coast and the West Coast have been increasing in recent years”. Having collected data from historical snowfall data for about twenty cities in both U.S and Canada from 1912 to 2016, we started to analyze data from different perspectives by using visualization, regression analysis and permutation test based on the application of R and Excel. Eventually, we found it cannot be concluded that the frequency of large snowstorms is increasing in any of the coastal region. Instead, there is a decreasing trend in most West Coast cities studied. Meanwhile, the annual cumulative amount of snowfall has either stayed the same or decreased over the observed time ranges. Although it was a big project, I led my team to make the research results into a vivid and beautiful poster and represented the statistics department to be the sole group attending the undergraduate research symposium organized by University of Washington.

What does it mean to be successful? Why?
Many people link success with reputation and wealth unintentionally. But to me, Success is not the production of money, wealth or reputation. I think that success means happiness to me. Certainly, in order to be happy, we will need money. But it’s simply a tool or a vehicle towards success. There are lots of things that wealth and reputation cannot buy. People who have wealth and reputation are many times unsuccessful in life. They may live with loneliness and sadness. Therefore, happiness is the key production of successful. A fairly amount of money to cover the living expenses and to buy an ordinary gift or take a trip during festivals is the vehicle towards happiness. What’s in the destination is a group of true friends and lovely family members, a healthy body, and a job that I like.

In recent years, I taught my three-year-old cousin to skate and she also fell in love with this activity.

你希望自己哪一方面能得到提高？
Graduated from the department of statistics and economics with a minor in mathematics, although I’ve learned a lot of theories and computing skills, I look forward to applying the theories into real-world problems and learning more analytical tools. Meanwhile, majority of my past coursework required me to only sit and calculate in front of a desk or a computer and I didn’t have many chances to present my outputs in front of the classroom.

如果你的公司做了against the law, what will you do and why?
At first, I will do further investigation to ensure that the company did do something that break the law. With evidences in my hand, I’ll talk to the leaders of the company in a gently way and remind the leaders that they did something wrong. If I’m able to convince them to be aware of the mistakes, then to make up those mistakes and promise not to do it again. Maybe I’ll let it go, but it should depend on the scale of the problem. If the company doesn’t do anything to fix the mistakes and doesn’t feel regret at all, I won’t cover up the problems for them. Since it’s everyone’s duty to obey the law, I can’t turn a blind eye when someone is doing harmful things to the society. Moreover, if the problem is serious enough, lots of innocent workers may be affected in the end. And if the problem is not exposed, no one can guarantee that the company won’t make more serious mistakes.
the great failure and what do you learn from it?

In these three months, I was responsible to help students to fix errors in the past exams and solved their doubts in math; and meanwhile Assist teachers to implement in-class activities. However, some students who really needed help refused to talk to me. Some of them are too shy to ask questions and others just didn’t want to get a tutor. I spent several weeks to make them get used to me. At first I just set next to them during the normal class period. After several weeks of effort, I got to be friends with them and a fair portion of them were willing to get help from me in the end. I learned that when you are not able to reach your destination directly, you should try your best to find other indirect paths and there will be a chance to get there in the end.

What three traits do you think that all successful team have. Why these traits are important?
Firstly, the team members are able to complement each other. Nobody in the world knows everything. There’s no perfect people, but there is a perfect team. For example, when we are applying statistical analysis into business field. A perfect group should contains a person who is good at statistics, a member who masters in business and et. Secondly, members in the group should trust and communicate well with each other. If each person is in charge of a specific portion of the project, other members in the group should believe that he or she has the ability to finish it.

If there are debates or blow-ups during the meeting, a good leader should be able to control the situation, ease the tense relationship, reach the agreement and make the decision.
你想在 graduate school accomplish 什么？
As a pragmatic student who attaches great importance to the practice, I’d like to combine my passion in the business field and practical tools to pursue a higher degree. One-year study in Boston university could give me the chance to learn analytical tools, quantitative methods, and simulation drill under the business context through its elaborate and profound courses.
