“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost must be attained.”
Marie Curie, 1867-1934
I am Caroline Chia Yun Ling, a third year university student majoring in the Life Sciences with concentration in the Biomedical Science. The quote of the late Marie Curie as presented above provides, in my opinion, an inspirational and excellent perspective of life. It succinctly describes my philosophy to life that is success is something within our reach and all we ever need is just the courage to dream, the determination to cling on and the diligence to attain our dream. Having a brief taste of twenty-one years of life, I am like many others just a typical young adult on the journey to pursue a dream. Fortunately for me, my journey has been peppered with assurances from my mentors and the opportunities to discover my interest. My research internship at the Institute of Biotechnology and Nanotechnology was perhaps the most fruitful and defining part of my life. It was from this experience where I learnt how research work can be both meaningful and interesting. The experience has helped me affirmed my decision to pursue a career in biomedical research and I hope that through the exciting journey of discoveries in research, I would be able to contribute positively to our society.

Hi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice starting you wrote. You probably can consider writing self-help books. =)
However, I feel that they all seem like big words that not many potential employers (or people who do not personally know you) will be inclined to believe. Don't get me wrong, I do believe all those qualities can be found in you, but that's because I know you.
I guess what is lacking are concrete examples. I understand it may be difficult to find examples of yourself being determined, diligent etc. (I have the same problem) However, I feel that the part on your internship could be further elaborated with real examples. What topic of research did you do? What was your role in the research? What happened that made you learn that research is meaningful and interesting? Was there a defining moment that gave you that affirmation? Or did you already know since young, that you wanted to be a research scientist in the biomedical field?
Hope these are of some help to you.
Samantha
Hi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Samantha that it would be better if you furnish your bio data with more details and concrete examples. But I must say that your bio data do give people the impression that you are an optimistic person and that I feel, is an excellent thing.
Dear Samantha and Alvin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. I do agree that I have not written much concrete examples within my biodata. Whilst penning this biodata, I thought that given the word limit of 200-250 words, I would write more on my philosophy to life than the achievements that I have made. Nevertheless, I believe that the both of you made a point. Thanks for the comments:)
Cheers
Caroline
