Our life stories allow us to make sense of our lives and help us decide who we want to be. Many events in my life have molded my own story. The experiences I have had in the last couple of years make me an outstanding candidate for admission to the program in Mechanical Engineering in Texas A&M. These experiences include participation in activities such as Carnegie Mellon’s Summer College Preview Program, and several courses I have taken in the last couple of years. Being fascinated by the likes of Thomas Edison and Al-Jazari made a great impact on me, which motivated me to join several activities during my life. I believe that these experiences can help me achieve my goals.
My fascination with machines began from a young age. I remember I once made a school field trip to a water bottle factory. The immense machinery and various bottle designs caused a spark of curiosity in me and I began to wonder how the machines worked. This was the dawn of my devotion for Mechanical Engineering. From that moment, I started discovering the engineer in me and I starting performing activities at home such as baking soda and vinegar rockets, and tinkering with telescopes with my dad. All these experiences have increased my interest in becoming a mechanical engineer.

For example, I participated in CS4Qatar for students while also taking classes at school. One of the things I learned at CS4Qatar is that beyond all the programming involved in the robots, they function the way they do because of Mechanical Engineering. And as I learned more about it I found out that robotics was an extensive part of Mechanical Engineering that I enjoyed. This experience broadened my knowledge of Mechanical Engineering and I began to understand the many connections it has with other
