Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for NUS overseas
college programme 2013-2014.
Apart from fulfilling the listed
requirements, I am ordinary.
I graduated from Ghim Moh Secondary school,
and then finished my A-level in Jurong Junior college. After two years of
national service as combat signaler, in 2011 I enrolled into National University
of Singapore to study Computer and Electrical engineering. I am currently a
year 2 student .By june I will have the required 80 MCs to participate in this
program. I am not good at math and physics, but I love programming and building
circuits. My CAP is 3.5 for now. Currently I am not involved in any CCA or
student society.
My entrepreneurial aspiration is to create
smart shops/homes, ideally require minimum man power to operate.
Compare with starting up companies in
university years, I prefer to acquire sufficient knowledge before making my own
business. I worked as sushi chef for UmiSushi in 2011 summer and sales
assistant for NET fashion in 2012 summer. These experiences give me well insights
of food and beverage as well as retail industry. By participating NOC programme,
I hope to learn entrepreneur knowledge which I thought only can be learned
after graduation. That is important to me because by talking to seniors and formal
participants I learned that NOC is a once in lifetime opportunity to develop entrepreneur
ability. I may learn the knowledge I want quickly, much quicker than any other
form of education. That is the reason I know I am not outstanding, yet still
taking courage to write this letter.
Following are the reasons for me to believe
that I am suitable for this programme.
I am able to adopt into new environment
quickly. I am from china Fujian province. I came to Singapore by the age of 15.
I have 8 years of overseas study experience, and handled it very well.
By playing different roles as a student, waiter,
soldier, chef, sales assistant, project group member etc, I was exposed to thousands
of people literally. I have well trained communication skill and interpersonal
skills. I got along with different kind of people easily, probably because I am
normal as everyone else.
I participate in different projects in NUS,
software engineering as well as hardware engineering. I think being a CEG
student gives me the advantage that I have both electrical and computer
engineering back ground. Companies may need student like me whom has relatively
specialistic knowledge in both fields. I am NUS trained for C++ programming,
electrical engineering, circuit programming, micro controller programming, C#
programming as well as communication skill. The companies may assume that I
have sufficient knowledge in these fields.
I am proficient in English and Mandarin.
I am normal. I think this programme may
want to include some people like me rather than having a cohort of genius,
presidents and vice-presidents. This programme is meant to build entrepreneurs,
people like me may be a different test sample, or control group. (just kidding)
I am ordinary, but I do satisfy the requirement “strong entrepreneur aspiration”.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I look forward to speaking with you.
I can be reached via email at XXX@XXXX.com or 65-xXXXXX.
Yours faithfully
Zhu Wuzhong
