I was born and raised in India, a country that is a melting pot of different cultures, traditions, and festivals. As far as I know, all of my ancestors thrived in and prided themselves on the rich culture. However, I acknowledge that many problems exist in my country, including sexism. Girls are seen as a burden and thus not provided the education that they deserve. Although, my parents never saw me as a burden and provided me with the same opportunities as my brother. When my family moved to the United States, I subconsciously assumed the responsibility of representing all of my female ancestors who were denied the right to a formal education. My parents have yearned to watch me accomplish the goals and achievements that they were unable to …show more content…
Ultimately, the struggle was well worth it. Attending college has been a dream of mine since I was a child since it will help me become a part of a bigger contribution to society. Thus, I decided to pursue a career in biomedical engineering. This will allow me to directly contribute to and help another person's life. It will mean that I would be working towards something that will allow me to better the lives of other people and return to the world all the good it has done for me. I can only achieve this goal of I work hard and graduate. In addition, the monetary benefit of attending college is not hidden either. I will be able to land a job that will provide a steady income and raise my and my family’s standard of living. Not only will graduating significantly impact my life, but it would also allow me to attend graduate school, and learn the subject to a greater extent, allowing for a better job and more stable career. In the end, the goal that matters the most to me is seeing the happiness on my
When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of still having the possibility of entering the medical field, but I am unsure. Learning about the different careers in the medical field and visiting labs has shown me that it isn't something that I am interested as much as when I first enter college. While I do want to be involved with my disease, I’m not sure if I want to have a career with it, but it could still be a possibility.
After days of sorrow and helplessness, I contemplated quitting everything. However, I then got results that I had been accepted into my second choice university. I realized that I did have a future, just not the one that I had planned perfectly. I could still become a successful nurse and still help others by taking a different route. This experience taught me to become flexible I was so used to everything taking place the way I wanted it to that I forgot that some things are beyond my control. This challenge helped me to realize that there are more paths than one in life. With an optimistic attitude, I can still succeed and contribute to society. I also learned that my time spent studying and participating in extracurricular activities was not wasted. The memories that I made from participating in the activities are worth the time and effort. As a result, I came to not regret my spending a great amount of time toward my education. It still helped me develop into a well-rounded student. I learned that I will continue to face more difficult challenges in the future as I enter college. However, I will continue to persevere with a positive outlook because the challenges will one day serve as memorable experiences that I can learn
It is my hope to eventually become a prosperous biomedical engineer. Even within biomedical engineering there are many distinct fields, and I am most interested in rehabilitation biomedical engineering. I would like to be somewhere where I can help those with disabilities to become proficient in anything they aspire to do; Additionally, I would like to be a part of the design process, although I have an interest in research as well.
I am motivated by my dreams, being more success and also living a better life. In the great words of Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’’. So it’s very important to be ahead in life and for me to be focus of my career goals and what I want to accomplish. College also gives you great experience in the fields and real life training, college can also enhance skills set on computers and areas of work that high school didn’t teach you, so it’s important for me to get the education I need. A degree also can provide me with promotions in the near future.
When my mother stayed at home nurturing and caring for my siblings and I without working to secure a job. I assumed that was females destiny in life to stay at home, but I did not like that idea I had to stay at home and be a servant to a man. Yet, the society told me I had to stick with that notion in another to have a happy life. Fortunately, things fell apart, as I grew older, I began to realize that it was tough for females to accomplish or success in the same career as men. Additionally, when I was in high school, the girls thrived in class, I never knew that the male teacher disliked the idea that girls were succeed than the boys. The men were filled with rage that they decided to confront the boys in the class and told the boys it was a disgrace against manhood. Once the teacher left, the boys were angry and said lots of awful hated speech towards the girls. They stated that girls, should not be in class and they should stay at home clean the house and raise their children. Nonetheless, I decided to fight back with that hateful speech and sooner or later the girls joined in. Finally, we won the argument. Regardless of the victory in class, I realized that the mainstream media portray women in a despiteful manner, low wages income, and nurturing the home. Although, things are changing gradually, ladies should still strive to make sure the equality last in the
College serves and will continue to serve me for the rest of my life, in addition college will be infinitely worthwhile to me. The essential reason for going to college was personal prosperity. Wealth in knowledge is notably beneficial no matter what it is you're learning. Personally I would like my own extravagances in life, not only to live under my parents forever, but having the ability to have a home of my choosing, drive any car imaginable while living life and having fun with friends and family. Providing for a family I one day strive to obtain, from food on the table to the largest of college funds.
I know that I will not have as many struggles in the future if I complete college now. For one, I will have a better paying job and my finances will be more stable and higher. I will have my own career so I will no longer have to ask someone how much to spend. That all together will give me more independence. When adding these two together it will equal an easier and secure life. Going through college is not an easy process but in the long run it pays off more than what people think. In my quality world I want independence, a nice house, and to have my own income. I want to graduate with a bachelors in Business Administration so later on I can manage a retail department or a company project. Having freedom with all my decisions, but most importantly live my life to the fullest without having to worry about budgeting all the time. I would like to be in a low stress environment and be around wise
The most progressive discoveries of all time have two elements in common: a component of critical thinking and a component of creativity. It is these two dimensions that led to my selection of biomedical engineering as my major. After being a student at Harford Community College (HCC) for two years, I recognize that I have reached my full potential here and need to transfer in order to continue growing as a student. As an active member in the STEM program, majoring in Chemistry with Calculus-Based Physics at HCC, I developed the necessary logistical skills and analytical mindset needed in order to grasp concepts and utilize them effectively. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have continued to develop myself as a musician by playing at various events as well as improvising my own music.
The personal statement is by and large used to focus a student’s capacity to overcome accomplish objectives, think discriminatingly, hindrances, and composes adequately. The premise of the personal statement is simple: it's an essay that provides context to an applicant's scholastic record, a face to put in front of the test scores. Length and content requirements for the personal statement vary widely from school to school; some colleges want brief, specific responses to a set of questions while others allow the applicant to give a general outline of his or her strengths. Personal statements are one of the most important parts of the application and sometimes the deciding factor for admission. Biomedical science: Biomedical scientists concentrate
Being part of a robotics team for three years has introduced me into some aspects of engineering. I have had the opportunity to build a relationship with one engineering professor from the Univeristy of Brown and a mentors who aided me and my team with the designing, building and programing of the robot. I was able to learn a lot of new and interesting things from the mentors. The mentors were both females who were pursuing a master's degree in biomedical engineering. They informed about the variety of ways one can do to help others when they get a biomedical engineering degree.
Growing up, I yearned to be a nurse, a pharmacist or a surgeon. The idea of helping someone or saving someone’s life was so significant that I wanted to dedicate myself to medicine. Although I enjoy math, I didn’t want to invest myself in a subject that wouldn’t benefit others. I enjoy challenging myself in math and constructing different methods in solving problems, but I didn’t think I could practically implicate this if I wanted to go into the medical field. It wasn’t until I read an article about prosthetics and the process behind medical procedures that I began to visualize my future in this career. The intricacy between both patient care and mathematics is something that is fabulously intertwined into the profession of biomedical engineering.

“Building a living cell one brick at a time” is seminar that satisfies my passion about biotechnology, is a perfect enhancement of my educational experience of having biomedical engineering as a field of primary concentration, and is a enormous creative community that through collaboration can create and nurture ideas that may one day alter bioengineering as a science and an industry. Having had an experience in this very field (I did a research project at Brown University’s summer program in 2014 concerning the transformation of bacterial genome), I am very excited to broaden my knowledge and experience in this area, as microbiology and bioengineering on microscopic scale are the most exciting fields for me. In addition to that, one of the
From an early age, I have been fascinated by how things work. It seems, listening to family, that I was never satisfied with a simple answer that machine runs on power; but always wanted to know more. As I completed my undergraduate education in ________, I became more and more interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering. My well-rounded educational pursuits thus far have served me well, engineering complimented by a sound background in the humanities and hard sciences. I have, though, a robust passion to learn more, to hone my skills even more in a field that has simply exploded over the past decade biomedical engineering.
One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.
