Let the Environment Brings out the Best in Me

I finally got it. I had an epiphany on my sense and purpose of being at MIT while doing track workouts with the MIT Triathlon Club earlier today. It's really simple, my purpose of being at MIT is to humble and immerse myself in the environment to bring out the best in me. I realized while running on the tracks that I could have had an easier workout by running by myself at my own pace. Instead, I chose to push myself by running with the club and doing a series of alternating sprints and runs. A tougher workout? Sure, but it pushes me to excel my running abilities.

Reflecting back, I now realize that I have been pushing myself since I started at MIT. Despite my mediocre writing skills and busy schedule, I started blogging on this blog site through the encouragement of fellow SDM bloggers like Yoav and Matti. I am still no Shakespeare but I think the blogging experience is starting to pay off. Overall, I see my writing slowly but surely improving. Furthermore, I am more aware of the writing style of others and the literature that I read. I may not articulate as well as some of my classmates but it is true that I do better when I am mentally challenged by people smarter than me.

The point I am trying to make is that MIT is an amazing place that stimulates students’ personal qualities and intellectual abilities and encourages them to act on their energy and enthusiasm. I believe that by embracing on the opportunities that are available and immersing myself in such environment would not only bring out the best of me but to further enhance my personal growth during my limited time at the institution.
