My life is all about problem solving: managing to live a difficult life in America after turning thirteen, finding “out of the box” to achieve my goals in debate, art, and HOSA, helping other teenagers with problems they struggle with... Designing a seemingly impossible pathway for me and others to succeed is my way of life, and a chemical engineer takes that to the next level.
Everything around us -- from a bar of soup to a bucket of paint -- involves chemical engineering. The profession is not only about my favorite subjects, chemistry and math, but also about creating ideas, innovation, and new technology. This is what chemical engineers do, solving problems not just for one person, but for everyone. And being part of that amazing

I have also competed at many local academic competitions in chemistry, math and biology, placing 1st at the Chadron Scholastic Chemistry Contest, 1st (twice) at the 2011 and 2012 West River Mathematics Contest, and 3rd at the West River Biology Contest.
Nevertheless, my current living situation offers me limited opportunities to explore the world of chemical engineering. Attending XXX University would mean the world to me -- giving me a chance to pursue my dreams with renowned professors such as XXX in an advanced laboratory and with people who share the same interests. At Princeton University, I can further explore the world of chemical engineering through Freshmen seminars, once again working with my peers. I am especially interested in the fall seminar Materials World at Mathey College, learning the technical processing and applications of materials around us. In addition, the spring seminar Emerging Micro and Nano-Engineered Technologies at Rockefeller College can also give me the opportunity to deepen my understanding of engineering.
On top of everything, Princeton offers me amazing research opportunities I cannot find anywhere else. I intend to arrange summer employment at Princeton doing research with faculty members. I also value
As a transfer student, I gained many experience and knowledge with the most diverse professors and helped me gain many more curiosity. In my first year of college, I went in as a biology major without looking at the other fields that could grab my attention. Then going through my second year, chemistry came into my interest. After getting into Chemistry I and II, I have decided to minor in
Out of all of the skin care products in the world, your bathroom cabinet needs to be filled with products researched and designed by me. When I entered high school, I discovered my passion for selecting lip sticks, lip glosses, lotions, perfumes, and makeup foundations. You name it. After learning about the connections between the information in my chemistry class and these items, a light bulb went off! I maintained an A average in chemistry throughout the whole year! Additionally, in 2014, I became a student in the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which also heightened my interests in chemistry. In a science fair at that academy, there was a chemistry course where we made colorful slime, and during that process, I learned that I get an adrenaline rush when I am mixing different chemicals together to see what the outcome is. Majoring in chemistry at Norfolk State University will definitely prepare me for a very successful future in chemistry! My ultimate goal is to conduct research and development for chemical cosmetics. I plan to obtain employment at the greatest companies in the world such as L'Oréal and Avon.
With its focus on discovery, unique academic offerings, and eccentric environment, I believe UChicago is the ideal place for me to continue my intellectual

I plan to major in chemical engineering at UNR. Possessing a thirst for discovering how the world functions through the lense of science, I am interning with Dr. Casey in the Chemistry Department to experience chemistry firsthand. Alongside the heavy workload, I will balance volunteering with Dean’s Future Scholars at UNR, I’ve dedicated 200+ hours to the group and look forward to helping out the lives of low-income, first generation kids like myself. I’ll advance from college into the real world examining life at the atomic level while giving back to the
After taking AP Chemistry, I knew that I wanted to study chemistry in college. I also have been a very inquisitive person my whole life, wondering why things are and how things worked. My inquisitive nature and love of chemistry is why chemical engineering appeals to me. I am drawn to Biomedical engineering due to its application of both chemistry and biology to solve medical problems. Doing a complete 360, I am interested in art history, because not only do I find art fascinating, but I also find it mesmerizing how artists visually represent and were inspired by the world around them.
The Honors Program at Ohio State offers many paths to fulfil this goal. As a part of this program I’ll have the opportunity to interact with similarly talented peers and outstanding faculty. I’m particularly interested in undergraduate research opportunities and study abroad programs. The Global Option in Engineering (GO ENGR) Program offers a unique experience to see a broad perspective on engineering processes and to share knowledge with citizens of the world. I’d like to participate in this program and
It all started when I was chosen to join an invention competition that was held in Indonesia. I had the opportunity to expose myself to the full range of the chemical and engineering courses, in which it helped to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in Chemistry. During the competition, I had to convince the
Attending GHP has been a dream of mine since 8th grade. The idea of spending a whole month on a college campus, expanding my knowledge is exhilarating. I have always found that I am immensely engaged in science. Being in AP Chemistry has broadened my horizons and interest in understanding why matter matters. I have fallen in love with the subject and I'm happy to know that balancing chemical equations and the laws of thermodynamics will stick with me for the rest of my life. I hope to expand my grasp on the subject while attending GHP.
When I was in 6th grade, my mother had to drag me by the ear to join the CTMS Science Team. At first, I hated every moment of it as I avoided the competitions by whining and crying. As time progressed, I would sit down every day with my neatly organized binder and stepped into a world of chemicals reactions. I soon realized that I wasn’t doing it because my parents were forcing me to; I was doing it because the science behind every ionic and covalent bond enthralled
I intend to be a chemistry major in college. In addition, I hope to make chemistry my career, ultimately obtaining a PhD and becoming a researcher in a laboratory. Both of these are motivated by my passion for chemistry, discovered in sophomore Honors Chemistry and cultivated in AP Chemistry and by studying for the Chemistry Olympiad. Some other careers I might consider, though with less fervor than chemistry for now, include intellectual property (patent lawyer) and chemical engineer.
She enjoys participating in community outreach activities and is dedicated to giving back to the community.
