I wrote an autobiography this week, and can anyone helps me to give me some advice on the content

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

My name is Yi-ting Wu (吳怡霆). I was born in Housing-Chu County in 1987. I am currently a junior studying in the Department of Business Administration at National Chung-Hsing University. Except for my parents, I have an older brother and an older sister in my family. My father used to work as a supervisor in a glass factory, but he is retired now due to poor health. My mother is a housewife. My brother is an operator in the electronics company, and my sister is a senior high school English teacher in Housing Chu.
I have passion for everything that I have not tried before, so I participate in a lot of extracurricular activities to learn something new. For example, when I studied in senior high school, I joined the harmonica club. Our club represented the school to take part in the national competition and we got the first prize. After entering Chung-Hsing University, I joined the Ballroom Dancing Club in order to stay in shape. I make a lot of friends from different departments, which makes my life colorful and exciting. I am an outgoing person and I like to help people solve their problems. I guess that is why I always make genuine friends and feel very happy about my life.

Furthermore, as for mentioning community involvement, I am also a reserved volunteer of oversea volunteers program held by international cooperative and development foundation (ICDF). At the same time, I am also a volunteer of foreigner exchange students, assisting newly arrived foreign students in adjusting to life in Taiwan.

Learning English is not easy, especially for a novice. I used to be frustrated in English in junior high school. However, things changed when my senor high school teacher asked our class to read Studio Classroom magazine and Advanced magazine. I was very interested in and deeply inspired by the discussion of the teachers on air. It not only enhanced my English ability but also provided me with a variety of perspectives toward the world. With the passion for learning, I am also starting to learn German this semester.

What really inspired me a lot to become an exchange student is that I made some friends who were exchanging students in Taiwan last year. After getting along with them, I am convinced that if I can become an exchange student, then I will not only become more independent but also have the broader perspective of the world. Besides, on the summer vacation in 2007, I was competent enough to be chosen as a consultant assisting 90 foreign students from 25 different countries in understanding the Taiwanese fascinations and interpreting for them while we were sightseeing. Hence, I had much stronger desire to make up my mind to become an exchange student next year after the experience of being an consultant.

Though my parents didn’t support my idea at the beginning, I was still trying to make them understand how influential the exchange program will be in my life. After I discussed with my parents one after another, they finally respect my decision and support my plan of being an exchange student without hesitation.

In the future, I want to work in a company which enables me to interact with a lot of different people from different countries. In order to represent my company, I need to improve my communication ability in English. To fulfill my dream, I am motivated to study English continually.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the teachers and people I met in my life. With your assistance and encouragement, I have more confidence to learn everything interestedly. Thanks for being such great companions in my life as a love-learning student.
