最近，在叔叔的指导下，我在准备申请美国大学的材料。需要写几篇文章，包括个人陈述、选择所选大学的原因、选择所学专业的原因、对学校价值观的理解、对一项课外活动的描述和一次克服困难、坚持不懈的经历等。不得不说，准备这些文章和问题回答，对我已经习惯了的、“成绩即一切”的衡量思想冲击很大。经过叔叔修改的个人陈述，遵循了从童年、少年、至高中生的心理变化顺序，除了兴趣和家庭的影响，叔叔还特别加入了随着我年龄的增长，所产生的社会责任感，想为天下穷苦百姓有所贡献的理想。叔叔的讲解让我知道了，仅将梦想局限于自己的范围是不够的，美国人注重理想，注重想要为社会有所作为的抱负。这一切使我明白了，想要成为美国人眼中一名合格的学生，要有思想，有丰富的经历和为天下人着想的深远抱负。
Recently, under the guidance of uncle, I am preparing materials for applying to American universities. Several essays are required, including a personal statement, reasons for choosing the university of choice, reasons for choosing the major of study, understanding of the school's values, a description of an extracurricular activity, and an experience of overcoming difficulties and perseverance, etc. I have to say that preparing these articles and answering questions has had a great impact on the "grades are everything" measurement thinking that I have become accustomed to. The personal statement revised by uncle follows the sequence of psychological changes from childhood, teenagers, to high school students. In addition to the influence of interests and family, uncle also specially added the sense of social responsibility that arises as I grow older. I want to serve the world. The ideal of contribution of the poor. Uncle's explanation let me know that it is not enough to limit your dreams to your own scope. Americans pay attention to ideals and the ambition to make a difference for the society. All this made me understand that in order to be a qualified student in the eyes of Americans, one must be thoughtful, rich in experience and far-reaching ambition for the sake of the people of the world.
