On May 12, 2016, I walked across a stage at the Fort Lauderdale convention center to receive my Associate's Degree diploma from Broward College. After two and a half years of hard work and dedication, I made it to the top of the rock: Graduation. Having focused on math, science, and physics, I chose to continue my education and pursue a career as an Aerospace Engineer, with the goal of advancing my studies to the graduate and Ph.D. level in the same area. My main goals in life are to live a passionate life of learning, advance in life professionally, and inspire the youth to pursue their dreams and careers by continuing their education. My plan for achieving these goals is to transfer to Georgia Institute of Technology in the fall of 2016 …show more content…

Since I was a child until now, I have always enjoyed flight. I still feel like a kid when boarding an airplane. Not only do I sit there in awe, but also I analyze the structure, the wing, the rivets, the sign that says, "Do not step here" on the wing, and the small hole in the window. In these moments of awe is when I wonder how this big structure was built, and I ask myself, "Can I design something like this?" My mind starts moving and thinking of ways to improve flight, and it is what led me to look beyond the airplanes to rockets and spaceships for interplanetary travel. The space race took us to the moon and beyond, and in this day in age, the world is trying to reach planets beyond low Earth orbit. My goal as an engineer is to contribute to research and further propulsion technology, to the point that space travel will almost be like riding a car. Many industries, including SpaceX, want to reach Mars by next ten years, and it is my plan to be a part of such a team. I believe that as we learn and grow and increase our knowledge of technology, we will make it viable to live in other planets. With my passion and curiosity and ability to lead, I know I will leave a footprint by working alongside a team to advance this

The wright brothers affected the evolution of aviation in a multitude of ways that established the guidelines and kick started the progress of heavier-than-air aircraft. By designing and creating the “flying machine” the Wright brothers were able to make history. Starting from the basic shape of the fuselage and empennage, our airplanes are still modeled in this manner. Not only were they the first ones to create it, they found the most aero-dynamic and functioning ways at the time to make their contraption. Over a 100 years later and with all the technological progress we still base of our most complicated research of their initial designs and ideas such as the cable operated flight controls.

When Hollywood is formulating a way to adapt history into a film, its accuracies and inaccuracies must be considered. The film Glory tells the heroic tale of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, starting with its formation and concluding with the assault on Fort Wagner near Charleston, South Carolina. However, Hollywood romanticizes history in order to influence the viewer’s perception of historical events. The scholarship that has been read in class and the film Glory show the continued prejudice against African American soldiers, prevalence and significance of death and burial, and the immorality that war causes. The film contains many narrated letters from Captain Robert Gould Shaw to his family to inform them of the progress of the war.

“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air” (Burton). With the absence of advanced mechanics in the 1800s, the idea of aviation was merely an unrealistic fantasy. Among the numerous attempts to fulfill this dream, only one achieved triumph. Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright's persistence and dedication towards flight was rewarded with the successful launch of the first flying machine. As eminent American inventors and pioneers in technology, the Wright brothers' invention of flight allowed a prodigious advancement in science, created an upspring in America's economy during the 20th century and served as a foundation for America's victory in major wars.
