Personal statement of Lim Theanglay

My name is Lim Theanglay. I am a student coming from the countryside of Cambodia, and these days, I am 20 years old. I have graduated from high school, and recently, just found a new journey here at university in Phnom Penh. I feel very pleased to write this statement, and it was grateful that the Chinese Government provides this opportunity for ASEAN students to apply and catch up for making progress on their higher education as the international education. China is a developed country, and also a powerful one in the world. Its economy has been growing abruptly since the wars were completely ended. China is the one containing the latest technologies and the most extensive too especially, its educations are widely offered to students around the world. Apart from these views, Chinese cultures and its beauties are always very attractive and meaningful to me. Hence, I wish I could study in China. As we all know, either the society or the country can develop to a powerful one if it contains numerous of knowledgeable people, so every person needs to learn new things in all aspects to get success. This reason has led me to have more enthusiasm on studying. As my plan, I want to be a master of structural engineer coming up with the leaderships, that provides supports to teammates and makes the processes at workplace go flawlessly and effectively, and the extensive abilities, which can build the long durable and safe constructions. Since my knowledges are in limit, I want to expand it to be more proficient than I do now. In this case, studying abroad is the best option leading me to be greater because it provides the new atmosphere of classes containing foreign lecturers, oversea students, and especially, the international system of educations. During studying abroad, I will have been catching and attending more activities like communicating, knowing new friends, and especially, changing experiences with foreign students there. These are very crucial to me for strengthening my soft-skill abilities besides general knowledges from the school. I might have more opportunities in practicing foreign languages with classmates there, specially English and Chinese. I plan to conduct the new researches on reducing pollutions of constructions to the environment. Every construction always affects to the atmosphere even though those effects are little or a lot. Thus, we need to make improvements on it to be more environmentally friendly to the earth. Unforgettable, it is also our obligation to control and eliminate the environmental pollutions. Right, after I come back to my country, I will bring the knowledges that I gained from China to share and develop my country. Of course, I will provide supports for Cambodia such as to enrich the quality of surveying and leading processes at workplaces as well as to make Cambodia’s economy grow up like China does. In addition, when I become older, I hope to share my knowledges to youths here should I qualify as a lecturer at university. I expected that I would help my country to become a better one that reduces the poverties and increases the human resources. When I reach my goal dreams, I hope that my parents will be proud of what I will have done very much. In summary, should I can grab this valuable chance, I will vigorously put all my entire efforts on studying in China, and hope to become an outstanding student in the classes. I expect that I will become a real human resource to sustain my society, and importantly, I will be a part that reduces the global contaminations as my plans mentioned to make our earth cleaner and better. This scholarship would help me in making progress on my study a lot until accomplishing my goals as a capable and responsible engineer.
