Cals Dyson Personal Statement

At a University that houses over 43,000 students, I take pride in the LSC department where I can walk into my favorite building on campus and see a familiar face within. It is great to know that I have the support of so many distinguished faculty and leaders within the communications and science world. I am truly learning and gaining experiences from the best of the best while gaining unique experiences that will give me an advantage in my future

During the campus tour, hearing students talk about learning labs and project teams highlighted an exciting atmosphere of a collaborative, impassioned pursuit of knowledge. Watching the Dragon Day parade or reading about CUAppDev’s exploits were reassuring testaments to learning at Cornell as an innovative, fun, and symbiotic experience. Akin to the spirit embodied by organizations such as the Cornell Public Service Center, it’s here that I hope to utilize my education in service to the community. At Cornell, I’m confident my aspirations will help make others’ dreams come true,

“Why do you want to transfer to the Dyson School? You’re already in a good program.” For the past few weeks, my friends kept asking that exact question. While they may struggle to fully comprehend my fervent admiration for the applied economic and management (AEM) program, my answer has always been simple. Walking through a buzzing Warren Hall on a brisk January morning, I could envision my entire future ahead of me. The rigorous yet diverse core requirements allowing me to focus on my passion for sustainable entrepreneurship and finance while simultaneously helping me discover new ones in the field of business; the applied curriculum emboldening me to seek innovative and tangible solutions to solve the world's most complex business issues;

One that is mindful of its carbon footprint; working with organic materials and developing new eco-friendly manufacturing processes. As an innovative servant leader, I intend to work alongside unconventional thinkers, not content to meet global standards, but to surpass those standards and be enthusiastic contributors to a cleaner environment. The skills I learn at LSU will ensure success; success that will not be measured by personal achievement or individual gain, but rather by our contributions to the betterment of society and how we shape the community around

Since freshman year, STEP has emphasized education and its importance. Through STEP I have learned so many useful skills and have applied them in literally every field both in and out of high school. STEP has not only increased my interest in engineering their many programs such as the robotics team and research opportunities but has also inspired me to branch out into a double major of both computer and mechanical engineering at Suny New Paltz this upcoming fall semester. I only hope that I can apply this same knowledge and utilize this to help streamline me in my goal of becoming a developmental engineer for companies such as Apple, Google, or even IBM.

I am a creator and explorer, and CU-Boulder's innovative courses would help me redefine what it

Research and discovery are things that I am extremely passionate about, and for this reason, engaged in opportunities related to them. From Mercer University’s world-renowned cancer research programs to research on drug delivery protocols, Mercer is committed to discovery and innovation for the betterment of the world. As research in the government sector particularly is interesting to me, due to my experiences at GTRI (Georgia Tech Research Institute), the Mercer Engineering Research Center (MERC) and its numerous and innovate programs are extremely attractive to me. The ability by undergraduates to get involved in these projects, shown by MERC’s hiring of student assistants and partnerships with the Mercer University School of Engineering, gives students a unique perspective into real life problems. These experiences will not only make me irreplaceable on the job market and to graduate school admissions committees, but make for an undergraduate experience unparalleled in any other

High Tech is an institution known for its excellence and commitment to students who are willing to be challenged. It is a place which constantly affords its attendees opportunities that are not available elsewhere. Over the years, I have proven to be an individual who is committed to hard work, perfection, and attention to detail. High Tech has students from all walks of life who are some of the brightest minds out there. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that you are amongst some of the best and brightest- to become a part of this elite group will not only be an honor, but it will be an opportunity which opens endless doors for my future.

Although this is my first year with Thomas Edison State University, I have learned several things that will help me to become successful in my career.

Our challenge today is to continue to offer engaging and relevant curriculum in preparation for a future we can hardly imagine. While much can’t be known about what tomorrow will bring, we do know that robust preparation in the STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Engineering) disciplines, a strong foundation in the Humanities, a full range of artistic and athletic experiences and deep roots in a welcoming community

During the summer of 2015, I attended a prestigious program called Shad Valley. As soon as I landed in ThunderBay, Ontario I was immersed into a whole month of workshops, lectures, projects, and activities. SHAD introduced me to program leaders and like-minded individuals, who shared my passion for leadership and science. I found people that assisted me in building confidence and encouraged me to take on leadership roles. SHAD taught me the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone on a regular basis, allowing me to challenge societal norms and improve the problems around me. With a program focused on STEM education, I was given a look inside some of the great minds in the scientific world. University professors, business owners, entrepreneurs

Go to school and follow the rules, get an education and play it safe, get a job and do as you’re told, earn money and live a life...this routine is what society values. However, this is terrible advice for an ambitious person. Unlike many, I want to create a memorable and contributive existence that will impact communities all around. I want to leave a footprint with first doing research in college, and then applying my knowledge to advance technology for the benefit of society. In order to accomplish my goal, getting a quality education is essential. At a young age, my parents have instilled in me the significance of learning, a love for science, and the importance of risk-taking. Now, I strive to transfer to an institution with a well-developed physics program where I will be able to gain a sophisticated understanding of physics conventions, as well as how to apply them.

Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the stepping stones to success. The primary reason I want to attend Georgia Tech is to fulfill my goals later in life: to start a drone company. Additionally, I am sure to find all the resources I need at Georgia Tech to become a successful entrepreneur. Breakthroughs like a power cell that converts mechanical energy to chemical energy which can once again be stored as electrical energy by Professor Zhong Lin Wang and his team, assure me that I am attending a world class institution. Another innovation is one of Melody Jackson who gave the power of communication to animals. I like innovation and I want to be a part of the innovative community at Georgia Tech and meet the bright minds. In return, I

Entrepreneurs are the heart and soul of the American economy and are responsible for the creation of many of our Country’s jobs. 99% of all U.S. businesses meet the definition of small business; “a business that is independently owned and operated, does not dominate in its industry and employs fewer than 500 employees” (pg 433). Without individuals that are willing to take risks and who are driven to succeed under their own power, we would not have companies like In N Out Burger. The Snyder family founded In N Out Burger in the pursuit of the “American Dream”; work hard and prosperity will

As my high school career approaches an end, I stand in the position of an artist painting a new portrait. Creating a lifestyle which follows with successes and failures, but with hard work I’ll do the best I can to make my golden goal of becoming a successful business owner, a reality. Graduating with a masters in business, to begin my entrepreneurship career, has became the first goal on my list to creating a picture. There will be restrictions trying to corrupt my ability to achieve and succeed in attaining my goals, but through experiences I have confronted first hand. I learn from experiences which changed me for the better.
