Being a recurrent theme, the lesson I've learned from computer science, "happiness is a program without errors," becomes ever so prevalent in defining my experiences in STEM-related subjects. It's that "Oh!" moment when I figure out how to solve a challenging problem from the Mu Alpha Theta database - that "Finally!" moment when I finish coding a complicated program - that "Aha!" moment when I get a robot to move after hours of continuous rearranging of wires - that feeling of satisfaction that makes me love both mathematics and science and that I continuously strive for whenever I work towards a goal. While my career plans currently involve majoring in Computer Science, I hope that the job I choose in the future will not only provide me these "Eureka!" …show more content…

The transfer of knowledge is always occurring and always has been. Networks, such as the Silk Road, has always been provided between civilizations - between people - not just for materials but for ideas. It is these networks that have only grown exponentially to reach people all over the world and that will allow for innovations in STEM to continue. What fuels this network is none other than education.

When we learn something new, we become inspired to take a concept to another level - to apply it in real life and to share it with those around us. I aim to continue educating myself so that I can educate others. We live in a world where everything can be defined to some extent with math and/or science. As the Google initiative "Made with Code" promotes, the things we love (music, art, cooking, and clothing, just to name a few) have only improved through the use of STEM. Thus, overall I believe the transfer of knowledge is key to making a change in the long-run.

I'd like to become Broward County's Sunshine State STEM scholar because while I haven't been exposed to

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.

I will be able to excel even further in my learning capabilities. The strict emphasis on learning will allow me to more deeply understand concepts that are vital to my future profession. I love learning new things and being able to build relationships with others that value the importance of learning as much as I do. I hope to be able to research in more depth the impact that race has on the lives of people from different races. This would include how it impacts their education, families, and jobs.

The sight of all the equipment sent a rush of excitement through me like that moment when my first program finally ran its course. Today, I imagine spending hours in the lab (probably way past my bedtime) and seeing my name published in a research journal, perhaps alongside a Texas A&M University’s faculty member. I intend to also join the Aggie Club of Engineering where I can group with students in the same field and solve real world problems- which will give me tons of job world experience. With this experience, I hope to apply to many internships to give me the necessary prerequisites to launch my own successful software company. Unlike high school, I’m now hoping to enter a place where even if we’re still

I was born in Guadalajara Jalisco and raised on a small ranch called Atemajac de Brizuela. My dad left when I was small kid, but came back when I was three years old. One year later my sister was born. Once my sister was born my dad decided to come to the United States because he knew that he had better opportunities here than in Mexico. Four years after that I came to the U.S.A at the age of nine not knowing a single word of English.

What interests you about your selected program of study? Computer science has always been the aspect of study that has grabbed my attention from a young age. CS always created a sense of awe in me because of the fact that individual people, with a firm understanding of CS, could completely manipulate technology into whatever creation they wanted. In the same way an artist can paint on a canvas, computer scientist can create through code and each program carries a sense of the programmer with it. The more you learn about CS the more uses it gains, making it a tool that builds upon itself.

Leadership is the ability to inspire and guide others toward a shared vision or goal. It is about creating a culture of excellence where people will be motivated to achieve their full potential, and where the collective efforts of the team result in greater success than any individual could achieve alone. Leadership involves setting a positive example, providing guidance, and building relationships based on mutual trust and respect. During my career in the Navy, I have had the privilege of working with some exceptional leaders who have greatly influenced my leadership style.

When an Eighth grader, I wrote my first program – a basic theme-page cover of a daily science and technology journal, using HTML. Since then, I have participated in several intra and inter-school computer science competitions. Attending the workshop on ‘Ethical Hacking and Information Security’ in December 2011 exposed me to the intriguing world of virtual theft and penetration. I discovered the world of robotics, where AI played an important part, in 2013, when I partook in a national level, inter-school computer symposium competition. Securing the First place in the above-mentioned event, obtaining a perfect score in the Eleventh grade; being facilitated for my projects on Electromagnetic Induction and Humanoid Robots etcetera, has propelled

Karl Heinrich Marx was a German philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist, and rebellious socialist. He was born to a middle-class family on May 5th, 1818. A long line of Marx's family members were Rabbis, but Marx's dad converted to Lutheranism to avoid anti-Semitism before Marx was born. Marx was born in Prussia, which is now Germany and his parents were Jewish ( www.plao.stanford.edu/ ). Marx was home-schooled by his dad until high school, then he went to Bonn University because his dad wanted him to become a lawyer.

When assembling a résumé or CV, it is important to consider one’s successes in both academic and personal pursuits to demonstrate a variety of technical skills and a sense of dedication to employers. Personally, I am interested in pursuing a career in the sciences -- specifically, software engineering -- so this essay will discuss two scientific achievements. First, in 2013, a partner and I earned first place in the prestigious TanenbaumCHAT Science Fair, to which every Jewish school in Toronto can only send three participants. Although the reward was approximately as small as the seventh-grade students who reaped it, I felt thoroughly achieved; it was an early sign for me that my interest in science could turn into a rewarding career. Earlier

Public administration, specifically, nonprofit administration is an interesting field of study. I feel that nonprofit organizations represent the “heart” of a community. The reason these organizations do not succeed is not a lack of desire or commitment of its leaders, but due to the absence of knowledge and experience of how to operate this type of business. These leaders, whether they serve the local chapter of a national organization, just as I did in the beginning, or a local charity need a basic understanding of the concepts of administrating public programs and policies. As I embark on this scholastic journey for the MPA I hope that my experience in the public sector and the knowledge I gain from this program will help me reach out
