Gillian is a second year student in the National University of Singapore, majoring in Life Science. She wishes to specialise in biomedical science where she can study and research more in virology. Her dream is to work in a research laboratory where she is able to study diseases and viruses that are detrimental to human health. Another alternative for her is to study marine biology, specialising in pure biology.
She is also an active volunteer for she joined the Buddhist Society and makes regular weekly visits to XX Community Hospital to chat with the elderly patients there. She discovered that many of the old patients there are rather lonely as their family members seldom visit them.
Besides that, Gillian is also a member of Radiopulze, the campus radio station. Through one of the activities organised by Radiopulze, she has experienced being a live DJ once and understands the hard work put in by the DJs behind each live show.
Being an environmentally conscious person, she takes particular notice of news that focuses on new “green” technology and the after-effects people in developing countries have suffered due to improper dumping of industrial waste. Having read these news, Gillian believes that everyone has a part in making the world a better place. Therefore, she is active in practising the three Rs herself.

This is a clear and concise autobiographical statement that paints you in a very favorable light, Gillian. I'm impressed by the variety of your extracurricular activities. You certainly are experiencing university life to its fullest, and your volunteer spirit is to be commended. Thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteHey Gillian,
ReplyDeleteWow your activities are quite all rounded! You have quite a diverse range of interests that makes for interesting conversation with others.
Perhaps you would want to consider sharing more about who Gillian is and not only just what she did. For example, you can share about why you chose to study biology. It's just a suggestion.
Cheers, Kenneth
Hi Kenneth,
ReplyDeleteyou are right, I should have included about reasons for my interest in Biology.Thank for your advice.
Hi Gillian,
ReplyDeleteReally impressed with the various activities that you are involved in. I believe that this would allow people to start conversations with you really easily.
As a side note, I'm wondering if this were a bio-related conference (for example), would you have more bio related activities to include? It may pay off significantly if you were to perform some internship, or help out in a summer research during the holidays to kill off any lingering doubts about your interests in Bio.
