Ms.Susan Delamare Professor 

City college of New York 

 

Dear Delamare:

Hi! I’m glad I could introduce myself to you in a traditional way. My name is HaiPing Wu and I am from the south of China, and I got the English name for myself Aurora, why did I choose this? There is a story. The name was borne by the Roman mythological goddess of dawn, which means keep the hope when you are in the dark, it always reminds me don’t give up when I am in a hard time. As a new immigrant who has been in this country for 3 years, I have to admit that my English is not good. And the deficiency in the language brought me a lot of struggles, just like many other immigrants. I didn’t have friends at the beginning, I couldn’t communicate with the people who speak English, I am so shy and was afraid to go out cause my poor English skill. But I clearly know complaining and escaping can’t help solve the problems, so I decided to go back to school. When time goes, after I studied from many mistakes, I can feel that my situation was changed to be better. I know there’s a long way I still need to go through, but I will never stop stepping forward just because I am Aurora. This image below was taken on Disneyland in LA last summer. This is the first time I travel didn’t with my family. This trip encourages me to do something I want to do. I am not a perfect man, but I can learn, I am not the princess but I can go to see her. Professor Delamare, I will try my best in this class, sometime I might not fully understand the class and my English is poor too, but I will keep learning, and can’t give up. Your patience and tolerance will be the light that shines to me in my college life. 

 

When I applied to this school, my major was Biomedical engineering, but now I tend to join in computer engineering. I also got a goal this semester, which is the semester average can not lower than 3. In the future, I think the engineer will always be needed in the market. Scientists are the lead of humans, but just one leader is enough in a team. Engineers are the creators of humans, we need so many of them in the team. Especially computer science engineering not only the creators but also the designers of the software. Being an engineer is what I have always wanted to be.  

 Sincerely,

Haiping Wu
