Hi all! I graduated as a computer science major student last year but did poorly in school, which I'm not ashamed to say. I'm actually Chinese and thus studied in Chinese school. You might not be familiar with the education here, but I can tell you, it's awful. I'd rather drop out than studying there. However, due to the parental and social pressure, I couldn't choose for myself and wasted way too much time staying in school, learning stupid courses and relating to awful people every day.
Now I'm working in a national company in China as a half programmer. During a chance to go to Beijing, I went to the google recruitment program in both Peking University and Tsinghua University. And from that, I know this is the company I dreamed of. But I'm not good enough, in fact, I have a long way to go. I'm hoping I would improve myself in this master mind group and someday manage to work there. So, please, let's help one another!
Although I'm Chinese and have been living in China for 23 years, (at least another 4 years in future, as I estimated)I don't think I belong here. I'm not pround I'm Chinese and I'm not ashamed to criticize my folks. Most books I read are western books, I like star wars, the lord of the rings and I'm watching star trek. I find it easier to deal with an American than the people around me. I expect people here say "you are a fuckin' American, you just happen to be born in China."
If I were ever to work in Google, it must be in the American office.
So much for myself, see you in discussions!
