Career Plan

I had decided to be professional astronomer since I was in highschool, though at that time I

didn t know well about academic life. Now I m in my last year in university, and I feel more

con dent about the decision I made. I m very crazy about astronomical observation and

always have the dream of using the best telescope of the world doing astrophysical research,

to make my dream come true, I will keep serious learning about astronomy. I had already

chosen to stay at my department for graduate study, I m very interested in galactic

astronomy and already do some basic work about it, in grad-school, I ll keep learning

fundamental knowledge and skill, and accumulating research experience as much as I can.

When graduated, I hope I can have the chance to continue study and research

abroad.Anyway, Astronomy will be my whole lifelong career.
