The ability that the study of engineering has to revolutionize the entire world completely fascinates me. Though the field of engineering is extremely broad, one thing that all fields have in common is that engineers apply their knowledge, ideas, and education in order to create helpful, innovative, and unique things that often change the world for the better. This very potential for engineering to completely change the world, starting from one simple idea, is what excites me about the field of engineering. Ordinary people are able to take an idea and transform it into a reality that can affect many other people. Another thing that excites me about the field of engineering is the ability of a team to overcome challenges. To me, there is no greater feeling of accomplishment than overcoming an …show more content…

Computer Science has always been a subject of interest to me, as, growing up, the world around me has been filled with the study. However, being introduced to computer science through my past internships at Qualcomm (2015) and Tencent (2016) has especially sparked my interest in this subject; these hands on experiences have allowed for me to see the application of computer science in engineering up close and in the real world. As I would like a broader knowledge about computer science as a whole, this three week crash course is perfect; I would able to gain a solid foundation for which I can build additional computer science knowledge beyond the class. Nanotechnology has also been somewhat of a childhood mystery, posing an ever-present question regarding the extent of what one can do with this fascinating field. I hope that this course be able to teach the basics and workings of nanotechnology at the fundamental level, thereby allowing for me to understand the various branches of nanotechnology better while providing a platform for which I can build off with future endeavors into the

My interests in technology did not come until later in my life; when I attended my first engineering and technology workshop. Back in the summer of 2012 I was accepted into the Rowan University’s Boys Engineering, Science, and Technology (BEST) Program. Throughout the event I was in awe and fascinated by what engineering had to offer. We built bottle rockets and constructed penny bridges, but what stood out to me the most was the hands on experience with computer programming.

There are many articles, passages, and stories about placing a monetary value on human lives. They all ask “Can you put a value on human life?” or “Are some lives worth more than other?” In these writings they attempt to put a value on lives and estimate the monetary compensation for the death of the person(s). I will say, in the least, despite popular belief and opinion, you can’t put a monetary value on any life.

I am who I am today because of my personal heritage. I was born in Peru and at the age of 3 my mom and I came to the United States. Growing up I did not understand why my uncle who played a father figure role in my life, always pushed me academically, mentally, and physically to become the best I can be at a young age. In the other hand, my grandparents will call every night sounding worried about my mom and I. In addition, my mother will always tell me “today is going to be a good day” as I headed to school every morning.

Upon arriving at the University of Michigan, I, like many of my peers, thought that I had everything figured out. I thought that I knew exactly what I wanted to study, exactly what classes I wanted to take, and exactly how to do this. However, after taking classes in the subject that I thought I would major in, as well as looking further into the major requirements for the subject, I soon came to realize that I was simply wrong. While this realization terrified me to an extent, as I no longer had a degree plan, it also caused me to think further and deeper into what I was really passionate about, and what subjects I truly enjoyed studying. This led me to not only look into different course options within LSA, but also look more closely at options offered by the other various schools on campus.

I always wanted to be in a health care setting, where I get to help people and try to improve people’s life for the best; I thought that this ambition would pull me towards a Medicine degree. Surprisingly enough though, I found myself in a much esteemed pharmacy college where I am learning and continue to learn many great things that pharmacists contribute to the health care system. Pharmacists are constantly being underestimated by the society and thought to be the second choice to follow. I always thought that the pharmacist’s only role is dispensing medicine, which in my perspective did not help much in the patient-care aspect of health. Although dispensing medicine is a great part of a pharmacist’s everyday profession his contribution to the health sector far outweighs just the act of dispensing.

Plato once stated, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” The art of music has greatly impacted my mind, imagination, and life, and I am certain it has positively affected others (Brown). In recent years, government cuts to education have led to numerous schools reducing or removing their music education programs. This difficult decision schools are required to make is negatively affecting their student population (Catterall), and the government needs to re-think their funding decreases on music courses.

Education has many benefits and has a positive impact on our lives because it gives us knowledge that we will use in the future to make us successful. Having a good education is very important as its helps develop your character and it helps us become socially and mentally strong. Education is very crucial for the ages 4 and above as their brains are like sponges that soak up any information that they are given and they might remember it for most of their lives. For me I think that education has a very important effect on kids especially by making them more confident in expressing their views and opinions, it also helps in developing many skills such as their communication skills, the way they work in teams, their problem solving skills, helps expand their creativity, and it improves their stress management.

Communities don’t grow independently, and it takes collaboration and passion to truly cultivate one that is both diverse and open. Participation in sports have taught me the fundamental principle that helping others will always help you grow in one way or another. For instance, in soccer, collaboration between teammates strengthens not only the team’s likelihood to win, but it intensifies their chemistry and bond as well. Thus, through applying this moral to my own life, I’ve taken initiative in school by helping struggling peers both spiritually and academically.

It was about helping the broken and hurting, the abused and neglected, the addicted and suffering.

The dictionary might define “agriculture” as something that relates to the soil, crops and livestock, but to me, it is worth much more than that. Agriculture is perhaps one of the biggest industries in the world. Just as there are countless agricultural commodities, there are countless stories behind those like me who have made the decision to pursue agriculture as a career, and often, no two are the same. Though there are some who did, most of us in the AEC department don’t come from farms, and that’s
