\"\"<\/a>What education have you taken? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m now in the fourth year study in Geology pursuing my Four Year Honours Bachelor of Science degree.<\/p>\n

What accomplishments are you proud of? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I received the Christopher Riley Memorial Scholarship for the highest standing in second and again for the highest standing in third year geology.\u00a0 As well, I was awarded a Brandon University International Undergraduate Student Scholarship and the Nexen Chemicals Scholarship in Environmental Science.<\/p>\n

Tell me about yourself \/ your background \/ your history. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was born in Luoyang, Henan, China where I spent most of my previous life. I came to BU in September 2006 after graduating from high school in China.<\/p>\n

How did you become interested in your field of study? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I first came into BU, I was taking Environmental Science as my major. After I took some first-year geology courses, I found Geology is a really interesting kind of science and it’s very practical. So Ichanged my major to Geology.<\/p>\n

What is your philosophy in life? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really know how to answer this question. My philosophy in life….may be just live happily and be responsible for myself without regrets.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in the future? <\/strong><\/p>\n

If everything works out nicely, I think I will work somewhere in Canada as a geologist after my graduation in BU.<\/p>\n
