Personal Statement

As a Junior in high school, I have many interests, most of which lie in STEM fields. I am particularly interested in Environmental Science. This interest was first sparked when I was a freshman in high school, taking AP Environmental Science. This class exposed issues that our society covers up, such as global warming and greenhouse emissions, along with the effects of drilling for oil on the surrounding ecosystems. Ever since I learned about these, I have developed a passion for them and I hope that one day I can contribute to the solution of these issues.
In the near future, I plan on going to a university; preferably Virginia Polytechnic Institute. In college, I would like to pursue a degree in Environmental Enginnering, or in a field …show more content…

After I complete my education, I want to pursue a job that makes an impact on the world, not just another company. Most STEM careers provide people with opportunites to develop new technologies or new solutions to existing problems. That is why I want to go into one of those fields. Knowing that my work will help not only myself and the people around me, but hopefully it will positively affect future generations.
I have also wanted to study in a STEM field because of the empowered women that work in them. Even now, in the 21st century, women are still not getting the same opportunites as men. However, the women that work in the STEM fields are empowered women and have coninued to push through the harsh realities in order to achieve their goals. I have always known that in fields of science and math there will usually always be more men than women; however, that only inspires me to be more like the women in these fields and positions of power.
Since I am still in high school, I will have to wait to pursue these career dreams of mine, but I am still able to do what I can to help out the environment. Whether it is joing the environmental club at my school, or picking classes that reflect on my interests, I will hopefully still be able to continue my plans and career goals once I get to

Boy Scouts Career Expectations

Growing up in a lower-middle class home, I have learned to be modest and frugal. I have also learned that nothing comes free and that everything must be earned through determination and hard work. So when I joined the Cub Scouts at age 7, I was determined to excel and achieve the highest rank in scouting, Eagle Scout. Since then, I have been intent on changing things for the better in everything I participated in. Ergo, having a lifetime goal to give back to the Earth, whether it be directly by studying chemistry to help the Earth or indirectly by donating some of my time and money back into the science field to help fund future developments of technology, seems best for the world.

The STEM field has always been part of my life starting even before I entered school.

However, I believe that the most important and influential moments that sparked my enthusiasm in STEM were the encouragement of my parents, my enthusiasm in the math team, and a multitude of other smaller activities that contributed to my overall passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
