I want to take advantage of the excellent engineering, and business programs at WSU. I made this decision due to my participation on the FIRST Robotics Team at my high school. My favorite memory was not driving the robot at regionals but was trying to figure out why our robot wouldn't work when we first wired it. I’m the team programmer and not many of my team members really understand what I do which makes it difficult for me to articulate what is wrong. The problem was, our two inductive proximity sensors which were working, were not sending a signal to the roborio, our controller. Everyone on the team believed that I must have coded it wrong but I was positive I was right since it had worked perfectly on my test board. We came to eventually …show more content…
I am an intern at Tribine Harvester and have been working on a preliminary user interface, as well as trying to incorporate the controller we use in robotics into a real world application. However, I definitely want to be more than an intern which is why I also want to go into the business program at WSU and maybe even get an MBA. I currently do not know what exactly I will be doing as far the area of business I want to pursue. I am leaning towards business management in hopes that it will better prepare me to take on a leadership role in my job after college. I am also considering International Business. I have gone out of country three times and enjoyed not only learning about different cultures but experiencing them firsthand. Two of these occasions were Education First tours with my school to Europe and the other was with my youth group to Mexico on a missions trip. I hope to incorporate my love of travel into my career as well. While my decisions on business are still up in the air I do know that my freshman year I will be taking Calc II and Calc III as well as a physics class. I find that to be a rather scary thought and I know it will be a lot of coursework but my goal is to pass with a B or better in these classes, which I know will be no easy
