Please comment on your undergraduate degree result. Do you think that your result accurately reflects your ability? If not, please explain why.

When it comes from my undergraduate degree result, I don’t really think it reflects my ability and potential. Evidently, I am a practitioner more than a dreamer. I am training on the job, learning from mistakes, and contemplating during competitions.

On the one hand, when I was a freshman, I decided to develop my competitive edge: leadership and the ability to add value to knowledge and skills while learning. My leadership was cultivated by experiences of extra curriculum. As my resume., I always became a leader in a diverse group because my accountability, ambition, and aspiration made my mates follow. On the other hand, I was an entrepreneur in university. After learning how to assemble PCs and basic theory of business, I set up my own company and made profit. I purchased parts, assembled, and delivered PCs to my clients, students or families who needed professional services. I put what I have learned from class into practice even when I am just a student.

Even in competitive environment, I brought not only quality products but team based services to customers. New customers I won accounting for 74% of my business unit from 2004 to 2007. Moreover, my salary growth rate reaches 58% from 2004 to 2008. Those statistics sufficiently proved that I am capable of coordinating a team and landing contracts. Also, my supervisor recognized that I am a skilled talent.

In conclusion, maybe my GPA was not so excellent, but my personality and experience make me different.
