Personal My most important non-academic achievement was volunteer work I did against child abuse. I love children and feel that they need protection more than anyone else. They are delicate and need adults' attention, love and care. However in our country and in many around the world, children are constantly being neglected and subjected to inhumane treatment by bad parents or uncaring guardians. I started working for children in high school by joining the society for child abuse and child protection. As a volunteer, I was required to spread the message around and make students more aware of this problem.

" There, I worked part-time as a translator and interpreter. It was indeed a magnificent experience to work with members of this demanding theatrical profession. Every day was a constant surprise and a constant challenge to my linguistic abilities. I had to put works of great emotion, the off-stage as well as the on-stage monologues, of these fine actors into comprehensible form, structure, and prose for the delight and edification
Achievement Outside of the Classroom My parents were against the idea of a dog, but I was determined that we would get a puppy.
