My professor revealed her secret of how to get into a research project as an undergraduate student ---- Watch the discovery
channel !
She saw a poster in school saying that research assistance needed and course credits granted so she decided to give a try. She went to the professor's office and the professor just pulled her in to the room with a chimpanzee. She said that gladly she saw the discovery channel so she was able passed this "surprising interview". She said that she didn't know much about the chimpanzee but by watching the discovery channel , she knew that chimpanzee was an dangerous and violent animal and when she saw the chimpanzee in the room, she knew that this chimpanzee was in the attacking status so she immediately hold herself in the corner of the room for protecting herself. And surprising, she did the right thing, the chimpanzee stop being angry and came to comb her hair then she heard a person from the top of room said : you're in the project !
Then she began to live with this chimpanzee, Nim 24 hours a day for 3 years !!! She said even her professor could go home but she had to stayed with Nim.One of the student asked her if she was able to quite from this project. She said "yes, I could. But I want to find out the answer." Because of this belief and passion, she finished the project and then went to Harvard.
Well, form this true story, I learned that ,you have to be prepared so that we can get what you want to do. If my professor didn't watch the informatics channel, she wouldn't pass the interview for this project. Besides, don't be afraid of what you want to do and don't give up.
Why am I writing this in English ? It is just because I want to practice my English writing skill.
