One of my proudest achievements is having a score of 700 in GMAT exam. It sounds not a big deal, but it is quite hard to me. I've prepared for it for over 10 months and I've taken the exam for four times. In the first three times, I did not make any progress, which killed me. I was faced with a lot of difficulties, such problems in the vocabulary, the long-difficult sentences that I never see in daily life, as well as the high demand for logical thinking. Before I took the exam for the fourth time, I asked two tutors for help with my Reading and Critical Thinking.
And also, I got huge inspiration from a football star- Merci. He won the World Cup during my preparation for the exam. It is so inspiring because he narrowly missed the champion of the world cup almost 12 years ago. But he did not give up, and he finally made it this year. So I kept telling myself that you never give up, no matter how hard it is and how useless the effort seems so far, you just keep practicing and practicing. And I felt so proud and happy when I finally saw the score of 700 on the screen of the test computer. It is one of the best days I've ever had in my life.

I stay up late quite a lot, because I work in a financial advisory firm, helping those start-ups in health-care industry to raise financial capital. The workload is quite intense. I work from like 10 in the morning until like one at midnight, pretty solidly throughout the day. I have plenty of paperworks to do, and have tons of deadlines. So in many cases I have to stay up late to get my work done. But I still love my job. It really makes me happy when I finish a project, helping a company with its, e.g, Serie A or Series B funding, so that it gets money to develop its busiess and makes larger impact to the society. That brings me a huge sense of accomplishments and satisfaction.
I enjoy listening to countryside music in my spare time. Because after an exhausting day of work, it really helps me to relax to listen to some soothing calm music.

About me--- Lorraine Liu
Hello, everyone, nice to get to know all of you here. I'm Lorraine Liu, from Shanghai China. And I'm a sophomore, of English major. But I was studying mechanical engineering in my freshman year. I mean, I've transferred my major, which is quite a gap between two of them. I like talking to people, sometimes preferring listening to others. I want to accomplish the plan I've made for myself. And my recent goal in 3 months is to speak English as well as I can, hoping to be just like a native English speaker.
Yeah. And Leonardo DiCaprio is my celebrity crush. I'm his big fan, so crazy about him. And I also like to watch The big bang theory and KIDS REACT. That's pretty funny, even hilarious. Haha, waiting to meet you guys. LOL.
