*Study Abroad Diary* -Finding The Right Direction In My Life Has Taken A Load Off My Mind- Along the way, the process of pursuing my graduate studies has encountered great changes and frustrations. With The passage of time, I had already become much more stress-resistant. After experiencing the life of studying abroad in the United States over half a year, I realize the importance of cultivating the self-learning ability and independence. There will be a blank slate in my advanced studies next month, I am gonna try my best to overcome all kinds of difficulties I might meet in a brand-new academic environment. As an old saying runs, “An Uncut Gem Goes Not Sparkle.” The technical know-how for graduate research is the cornerstone to enhance my professional ability and academic background. I understand that I ought to start learning the research methods and experimental design applied to industrial operations as soon as possible so as to catch up the study progress. There are many useful research tools required in a Master’s program which analyzes the engineering industry from a business point of view, such as “The Theory Of Constraints,” “Six Sigma,” and “Lean Thinking.” From my perspective, I should study the basic concepts regarding “Statistics,” “Quality Control,” “Quality Assurance” for the preparation of the further studies in Management Science. With the purpose of performing extraordinarily during my graduate studies, I will study extremely hard to prevent from being trapped on the dead end street. From where I stand, a graduate student should hit the books with an ambitious attitude so that I have already set up an intensive study plan for the upcoming courses in the field of Engineering Technology Management. I certainly know that I will have a rough time studying during the period of my Master’s program; however, I am confident of winning the uphill battle in the end! Ching, Jul/13/2013, San Francisco
