During my study in Mason, I do have several academic goals that I believe will be useful for my future career. My first goal is to be a teaching assistant. I choose to be a teaching assistant as my first goal because I will have chances to review the courses which I have taken by teaching the course materials to someone. I believe that by teaching the materials to someone, I will indirectly review the materials I had studied before. My second goal is to be a research assistant. As a research assistant, I will have a chance to implement the knowledge I had learned through the courses I have taken before. Also, it will be a good additional experience for me since not everyone can have a chance to be a research assistant especially at one of the good universities in the United States (US). My last academic goal in Mason is to finish my graduate study on time. Since I already arrange my course plan, hopefully I can keep myself on track based on my course plan. If I can finish my graduate study on time, it will save my money since I do not have to pay any additional tuition fee for the next semester.
