I reflected on myself and realized that I need to be more involved on campus and get more familiar with American culture. I joined Beta Alpha Psi and ICATs in fall 2017 and became very involved with them. Thanks to BAP, I was able to understand more about American corporate culture. My passion about culture leads me to becoming a team leader for ICATs later. In spring 2018, I accepted a position as teaching assistant for my managerial accounting professor and business law professor. Although none of them was paid, they were all very valuable professional experience. I got selected as an IPAL (International Partners and Leaders) in spring 2018. I have made so many friends in my first year at UC thanks to the different organizations that I joined. I also keep getting involved in the community. I became a volunteer income tax assistant in spring 2017 because I believe I can use what I have learned in class to help those people in need. I am also a long-term global guide for World Affairs council of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky because I enjoy sharing my culture and opinion with kids from different age groups.  I also helped the local Chinese chamber regularly. I am very surprised and happy that my network has expanded quite a lot and I, sometimes, can be a great resource for someone else. All the hard work led to two summer internship offers that gave me a chance to choose my first internship experience.
