Some my stories
In junior high school, my first exam ranking was 182/230. I did not realize that is a bad grade, I just think I was a 'mid-level' student in school, and it was enough for me. But my mother was anxious and angry about it.
When I was in senior high school, I did not understand how to study. Just remember everything I learned and did a lot of practice like a machine. Although I was not so bad in senior high school, I still was not the top student, and became a real 'mid-level' student and went to a 'mid-level' university.
I decided to change myself and tried not to be a quiet person in the class, so I joined the Students' Union. But I found that it is no meaning after graduation because there is no company that cares about your activity in the Students' Union. It seems like I was in the wrong direction, but I don't regret it because I believe that everything in the world has its own meaning.
In college, all learning is up to you. I became that person who likes going to the library the most. I am curious about the 'definitions' behind some of the lectures, but these definitions often are the knowledge that will not be covered or tested in the class. But I just simply want to understand why.
I became a little ‘lecturer' to my classmates before the final exam, but strangely they all got better grades than me. I've been struggling with this for a while, but I think it's because I'm still not good enough, I have to harder than before.
I love math because I think the results that can be calculated are the most realistic.
I remember my first class was C programming and design in my freshman year. After that class I secretly decided that I must never do any job about programming in the future.
But in my sophomore year, I realized that people don't do everything they want. And programming wasn't that bad, so I did my first internship as a front-end engineer.
It was really bad in the beginning and I had a hard time solving the tasks the team assigned me. But I don't want to be the one that drags down the team, this pressure gave me growth and opened the door to computer science for me.
In my third year of college, I gradually understood what learning is. I like to study the whole picture of something, to delve into everything like the root. But I also didn't have time to focus on the full range of exams, which resulted in some of my grades not being as good.
That same year, the Operations Research professor gave each group a task, and whichever group could complete it would get a 25 percent performance score. That was the first time I was most involved. I sat in front of the computer for 9 hours without knowing it, and I completed this question on the first night and got full marks.
I decided to pursue a Master's degree in the US. In order to study quietly, I moved into a little room of about 100fz^2.
Because of the study pressure and confusion about the future, 2019 has been the most painful time for me so far.
In early 2020, the Covid-19 broke out, this made me miss my graduation ceremony.
In March 2021, I took my second work as a Full-Stack Engineer, I found I was busy in complete each deadline and repleted work. Each part could not be completed perfectly, but most people do not care about that, so I found that is not the life that I want, I pursued a life full of improvement, so I decide to be Ph.D..
In March 2023, I got my PhD admission from the University of Illinois at Chicago, thank you for Prof. Marai!
In June 2023, I successfully graduated from WPI and got my Master's degree, thank you for the professors and cultivation from WPI!
In August 2023, I joined UIC as a new computer science doctoral student and becomed a member of the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL).
