Since, Chemistry also means combining, and studying the interaction between substances through different chemical reactions in order to obtain a different product or substance. From my artistic side, I perceive a laboratory as my canvas, and the different elements as my paint. By becoming a Chemical Engineer, I want to create new products than can potentially enhance people’s
I was born and growing up in a small village in Vietnam where health care was a big issue. I observed many people accidentally died because lacked of professional health care especially that was wrong medication. When I was 7 or 8 years old. One of my friend, she got a small cut on her finger but then about two weeks later she died.
A world-class engineering student, also known as a “master of learning,” is distinguished by the ability to take command of their learning process, engagement in the learning, with constant drive and discipline while always keeping a goal set for the future. The life of an engineer is inherently mentally arduous due to the sheer amount of knowledge that must be learned from generations of knowledge building in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. The life of an engineer can be one of the most rewarding as a pupil gains knowledge from the work of people like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, etc., changing the world in their own way. This process of learning can become bearable, manageable, and can to become effortless by taking the time to first learn how to become a world-class engineering student. To become a world-class engineer takes large sums of time and consistency. To become a world-class engineering student, I must pinpoint where I am in the aspects of setting goals, personal development, academic development, and career development, where a world class type of engineering student would be in each of those areas, and what I must accomplish to turn into a world-class engineering student.
Learning Chemistry, Maths and Physics never got me tired. I’ve started to experience enthusiastic feelings towards those subjects during my high school as I was acknowledged to proceed with my upper school in science stream.
