Y the OSU? （Fall 2010 金融专业）节选
As the 16th largest city in the US, Columbus offers almost all major components needed from a business major college student. With a diversified local economy based on multiple industries, Columbus fosters a dynamic business environment for both professionals and apprentice who are getting ready for the business world. On the other hand, however, as one of the states hit hard by the recent financial downturn, once in a while, the state of Ohio and city of Columbus both suffered from above-national-average foreclosure rate. That attribute to a sluggish recovery of the real estate market and the general economy. Personally, I believe that both the positive and negative factors would enrich my education experience with not only case studies from text books, but real life examples dug out from daily life as well.
作为全美第16大城市，哥伦布（OSU所在地）市成熟的商业环境为商学院的毕业生提供了多个行业的实习甚至是就业机会，使得学生在开始职场生涯以前有机会接触到真实的商业运作。另一方面，作为经济危机受影响最严重的州之一,整个俄亥俄州以及哥伦布市周边的抵押品赎回权（foreclosure rate）比例远高于全国平均水平。我相信现实中的这些经济上的不利因素，也将成为我课堂教学以外的有效补充成分。

“I wish I could join the Army and help Americans fight in Afghanistan.” Hong looked outside the window emotionlessly.
…
2009, preparation for SAT and TOEFL took most of my extra time on the schedule. I quitted my restaurant job and wished Hong good luck. With the overlap being removed, we are living in paralleled worlds now.
A couple of weeks ago, Hong called me on my cell. His voice was steady and peaceful.
“I got promoted” Hong sounded excited, though talking in his regular voice.
“Nice” I thought he was a supervisor now.
“I don’t have to run food any more. I am a waiter now” Hong continued.
Being a waiter, his monthly income probably got tripled.
“My mom doesn’t have to work that hard now. And I can afford college if I do this job
for one more year” I can sense his excitement now.
Occasionally I was thinking about Hong when I took a break from my SAT study, I knew it was unlikely for our worlds got overlapped again. For me, acquaintance with such a unique friend left me another taste of life, a taste that I merely know but has been widely tried around the real world.
