Respected School Leadership:

Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to apply for this scholarship.

For many, entering society early without a university education is often due to life's necessities. In the workplace, feeling overwhelmed and facing stagnation in salary and promotion—where does the cause lie? Is it simply a lack of effort? Upon reflection, it is due to limited educational background and a lack of foundational knowledge. Although I attempted to find shortcuts, the results were unsatisfactory. Encouraged by a friend, I decided to start anew; by reviewing my high school knowledge, I eventually passed the entrance exam and successfully enrolled in evening school.

To manage the challenge of working while studying, I developed a detailed study plan. Through pre-study, attending lectures, taking notes, completing exercises, and utilizing multimedia courseware, I make sure to summarize and refine the knowledge points I learn every day. Since my mathematical foundation is weak, I often struggle with complex problems, so I promptly seek guidance from teachers or discuss them with classmates. I would like to express my special gratitude to my mathematics teacher, Ms. Song. She is always patient in answering my questions, even during her rest time, and never tires of explaining problem-solving methods and steps to me.
