Please describe the factors and challenges that have most shaped your personal life and aspirations. How have these factors helped you to grow?

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is a beautiful technology oriented university filled with a myriad of advancements in technological studies. As a young woman who is planning to pursue a future in engineering, it is truly inspiring to see Shirley Ann Jackson, a Ph.D., as the President of Rensselaer. She has shown courage and determination by being one of the few women to graduate MIT in her time. During her time at the school, she has put a huge emphasis on the young women on campus. At RPI there is a huge women’s support network, which include the Women at Rensselaer Mentor Program and Women in engineering program and professional societies such as Society for Women Engineers and Women in Computing. Programs like these help young women to

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 8:38-39. There are several events that have occurred in my life that I could choose to write my topic about. Throughout my childhood, the thought of “being baptized” always kept me wondering. While growing up, I would ask my parents what the meaning of being saved was but never received an answer. My baptism influenced my life by completely changing my perspective on the way of life.

In our life journal, we are always creating all kinds of enemies for ourselves. We do not think about the fact that we do not have any greater enemy than ourselves. If we want to climb the mountain of life we have to overcome ourselves because we are our biggest enemy.

The only evidence that still exists as proof that she graduated from high school in 1980 is her graduation ring. Due to my mother’s financial constraints, she was not able to afford the ring, but acquired it through a friend’s kind gesture. Over time, it has become a symbol of an aspiration that extended from her to me. However, throughout my mother’s life, she has had many challenges facing her, not only in life, but also in education. Who I am today are blessings made possible by my mother’s sacrifices.

Many activities are offered at Sidney High School. I have participated in numerous of these ranging from National Honor Society to basketball. An abundance of the programs I have been involved have taught me lessons on becoming a better student and member of the community. Teachers have come and gone, some leaving a large impact on my life. These experiences and relationships are ones that I will hold with me as time goes on. These teachers have influenced the way my life has taken shape. Being in all these activities does not only leave an impact on my life, but the community and school as well. They have taught me right from wrong and I believe I would not be the person I am today without many of these activities and/or teachers.

According to a recent study, the United States has accounted for only eleven percent of all engineers to be women. This branches from only twenty percent of engineering bachelor’s degrees being given to women in the United States (Jones). However, even though this number is quite low, women still graduate at the same rates or even, and in some cases, even better than men with engineering degrees at the collegiate level (Orr). This shows that the causes for the gender gap do not have to do with the difficulty of the education needed to become an engineer. It is obvious that collegiate difficulty is not a problem here. Some underlying factors need to be focused on. Studies have also shown that women tend to stay in the engineering field more consistently as compared to men who leave the field at a higher percentage. However, this comparison is based with the knowledge that there are currently many more men than women who initially start out in the engineering field at the college level (Orr). So, on average, women tend to stick with the engineering field once they have decided that that is what they want to do with their life. Luckily,

While interviewing my parents, I was very surprised by some of the things they told me such as their experience crossing the border. I realized that bringing up the past might have been challenging for them considering it reminded them of the difficult times, but at the same time, they reflected on the positive outcomes that came from their decisions.

One thing I enjoyed learning is cooking. I have had a liking for cooking since I was very young. I remember that every Christmas I will ask my parents to buy me little pots and pans, plastic food and kitchen sets. During the afternoon I use to play restaurant with my nanny and make little menus for her. Cooking has been a thing that came naturally to me, and something that I really enjoyed doing.

“They judge me like a picture book, by the colors like they forgot to read”-Lana del rey. Proving that people tend to judge without allowing themselves to give me a chance. They always go with what their eyes tell, but they should know that I'm more than what I appear to be.

I hope you’re having a great day. I’ve been meaning to mention a few things to you for a while now, but I can’t bring myself to say it in person. I hope this will do. In a way, I don’t think therapy is working for me. Unfortunately I feel like it’s making things worst. I’ll try to explain my thought process, but it might be hard to understand what I’m trying to say and I apologize for that in advance.

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.

Famous professional boxer, Muhammad Ali, once said, “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” My lifelong ambitions revolve around this central idea of striving and determination. By continuously encountering both positive and negative situations, I have still managed to stay aggressive and strong. This will help me learn that each step I take now and in the future dictates the progress in my life. Society always talks about how one can stay motivated and strive for success throughout life, but there seems to be more than that than said. Many individuals try to reach a state of perfection, however, they are just as concerned describing their strengths as they are describing their weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses are defined and shaped by our everyday actions and behavior in both the academic and secular world. Aside from thinking about education and success, I am focused on great visions that will fundamentally help me live prudently. I have faced many challenges in my personal and academic life that have provided life learning lessons and experiences for me to learn from and bring change. These experiences and lessons have ignited a new spark in my life that will present fresh signs of a new hope, with a deeper significance, broader experience, and more commitment.

Literature and writing have had an affect on my life starting from my early childhood and continues to influence me as I end my 11th year of school. From children's pop-up books to 500 page novels reading has always taken part in developing my life. From learning to write my name to using vigorous research and planning to construct a 7 page paper over the Scarlet Letter and the unfortunate events little Hester Prynne is forced to deal with, along with the thrilling task analyzing two juxtaposed literary works. Throughout my life writing and literature have helped to guide me in life and aides in my everyday life.
