<p>I'm preparing my personal statement and I am a international student from China and I'm a future undergraduate student.
Here are my 2 topics:
the first one is that I'm a girl who like to against authority. Every time my friends, classmates feel that teachers or school's policy are wrong, they won't tell them but complain behind them, however, I can't bear the wrong things, because I think that if a thing is wrong, why others should obey it? So I always against wrong things, though in China, most students will listen whatever their teachers said, kinda cultural thing. This makes me really special in my school, but my friends said that this topic is a little bit controversial and I don't know is it a proper topic for me to write about.
The other one is about the academic curiosity. This one is also special in China, Chinese people are practical so that most students study just because their parents want or they want a top college offer, not because they like them. I love things around me, I'm very curious about everything in the world. I took a lot of different AP courses, like Physics C and US History in the same time, and Macro economics and Environmental Science this year. I like trying new things, study everything that I don't know. Like a lot of my friends who study SAT will just focus on practice while I also like to read the articles, I've read about the Bajau people in an SAT passage and then I find some paper and documentary films about them. But just like the other topic, I don't know is it a good thing. Because of curiosity, sometimes I can't focus on a thing well.
Please help me to find out the better one! thanks</p>
