I am attending at Western Michigan University to achieve my goals including to maintain excellent academic performance and earn a bachelor degree in manufacturing engineering. It is a great opportunity for me to study my career dream. My leadership experiences make me confident to accomplish my dream.
First of all, I would like to discuss the importance of continuing a postsecondary education for me. I have always dreamt of becoming a successful engineer someday, and I am glad that I have the opportunity to study my career field and fulfill my dream. At least a bachelor degree is required to start working in my dream job, therefore, continuing a postsecondary education is necessary to achieving my goal. Not only the education but also the experiences in manufacturing engineering are essential to be successful in this field. Thus, I look forward to working at a manufacturing company during the summer holiday, and I also look forward to working an internship to enhance hands-on experiences.

Secondly, I would like to explore my field of study. I am majoring in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. I have chosen this program to be my field of study because after doing some researches on the Internet and meeting a career advisor, I believe that …show more content…

Leadership is significantly important for everyone to succeed and achieve our goals. In our church, I have been one of the office-bearers in the youth branch for over three years. From this experience, I have learned many things, including the value of teamwork, and the importance of setting up a positive example for other people. For example, when we did fundraising for our youth branch, we worked together as a team so that we could complete our task quickly. As a leader, it is important to understand and realize that we are the example for our members. For instance, if a leader himself works hard for the group project, the members also tends to work hard

“If you want to become a great leader, you need to prepare yourself to become a great leader, and the best way to do that is to study great leaders.” (Schembechler 7). Being a leader means defining and exhibiting moral and ethical courage and setting an example for everyone within any given group. Being a leader helps you teach leadership skills to your family, friends, and employees who will then help do the "heavy lifting" of moving the masses from where it is today to where it needs to be in the future. In today's day in age, people will believe that great leaders are born to lead.

According to the World Report Best Global Universities 2017, the university of Waterloo is ranked first in Canada for engineering. I believe that by pursuing a degree in Mechatronic engineering at Waterloo would not only provide me with the education required to succeed, but also enable me to obtain my goals of entering the workforce after university. Waterloo’s extensive cooperative education program would provide me with the crucial experience required in order to succeed in the workforce.  Mechatronic engineers serve as a pivotal position in today’s society as currently, an abundance of products are mechanical in nature, but could not function without an integral computer controlling system. It is my ambition to one day be able to accept

To be a good leader is not the authority we have over others but what we do to gain the acceptance of others. For me, what we accomplish throughout life represents who we are as a person and can be measured through the people we help, the work that is done, how we treat others and the responsibilities we take. I have had the opportunity to expose myself to volunteering and leading by involving myself with the community, like those who are handicapped and at the Calgary International Children’s Festival, in school through club activities, out with the community, like those who are handicapped and at the Calgary International Children’s Festival, and in my household of seven which I call my family. Selflessly helping others has taught me many lessons and grown to make me who I am today. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to gain the opportunities that life has given me which I am grateful for.

Therefore, I applied to several graduate schools and was admitted to my school of choice, Virginia Tech University. At Virginia Tech I was able to master my competency in structural engineering and finished with a GPA of 3.94. As I move along in my professional career today, I continue to aim to prove that how you start does not determine how you will end. A little after a year of graduating from Virginia Tech, I sat for and passed my Professional Engineer’s License Exam and became a registered professional civil engineer in the state of California, the hardest state for a civil engineer to get registered in. As I move along in my career, I continue to seek areas for continuous improvement and I know there is no better place to improve both my understanding of business and my capabilities as a leader than at

Especially as a member and a section leader of the marching band and indoor percussion at my high school, I know this well, and I know leadership will only become more important in my future. As a career, I envision working where practicing leadership, working cooperatively, and valuing input from others is important. Even when not directly leading, leadership is just as important as a team member. Leadership travels far beyond the workplace too. In my activities outside of work, I will also be depending on others, similar to KOPPI, a political awareness club, and Greener Greenwood, activities that rely on multiple people to do their jobs.
