College Admissions Essay: A Career As A Motorcycle Engineer

During the summer of my tenth grade year, I interned at Accenture, a consulting firm, where I repaired computers and resolved any software issues. At first I started opening and and exploring parts of retired dell laptops. As I became more proficient, I was able to help clients fix PC issues such as broken screens, replacing RAM, and transferring data from the hard drives to another computer. This internship inspired me to consider the Technology industry as a possible career. Taking into consideration the broad range of possible career paths in technology, I decided to major in Computer Science once I get to college.

One of my earliest memories involves asking my parents the meaning of scientific terms that I came across in books. My parents, being from business backgrounds, could never answer my question. Enter: my collection of encyclopedias. They were my first real exposure to science which led to the discovery of my passion for science.

Because of the people I chose to surround myself around, I found myself wanting to go into the field of engineering. My friends knew I had a passion for math and they suggested engineering as an occupation I should look into. As of result of that, I found myself getting into more hands-on projects in my last two years of high school, as well as taking an engineering focused course in high school to try it out. I fell in love with the career path and since then, I aspire to become an

Since I was little, I’ve always been good with technology. As a child, I would teach adults how to use their phone even if it was my first time holding the device. By giving me a few minutes, I could tell completely analyze a phone tell the owner how it works and such. That talent later developed my inspiration to become an electrical engineer that dealt with hardware and software that were used in phones and video games. This dream also led me to apply at a math and science school, GSMST. However it all changed in my first year there and it forever changed me.

As I progressed through my technical area, I discovered more about my skill set and interests. For instance, the organization of computer coding and the thrill of seeing those codes have an effect in the physical world through robotics was exhilarating. Through Computer Engineering, I believe I can take part in projects that will help to improve the lives of many people. Furthermore, by achieving my goals, I can show the girls that they can accomplish their goals

Ever since I was 2 years old, I have made blueprints for inventions ( and some crazy stuff that isn’t physically possible or necessary ). From cars that clean the house to a system of pulleys designed to keeps rats out of our attic, inventing has always been a key part of my life. Then, I had thought that my dad new how to do anything, so when I approached him with my drawings he would just laugh, we still have the pictures I made of some robots I wanted. For a 7th grade science project we had to make a Rube Goldberg machine, it was so much fun for me that in the same year I decided to program. My hobby in programming started on Khan Academy, the lessons taught you how to make basic shapes and even games or websites. Occasionally I practice

The only thing that I have kept on doing for over ten years besides things I need to do in order to survive is listening to music, and somehow I am lucky enough to make a living out of it, as I ended up working managing a indie music website. Both my parents have been writing codes since computers came along, and they are wildly considered as pioneers and experts in their field. Continually spending time on a certain subject really makes you

Since a young age, i've had an overwhelming appreciation and passion towards the composition of music. Although my highschool transcript may not reflect it; I am extremely eager to further my education in areas both relevant, and unrelated to my career choice. Attending and graduating college is the next step towards my career as a music engineer/producer.

When I was three years old, my uncle gifted me my first Lego System set. I recall was the Space Shuttle with light and sound of 1999. I was extremely entertained for hours. My uncle could see that in my face. I fell in love with my Legos. It was the first time that I was building stuff with my hands that were a challenge for at that period of my life. It was at this period when I swear that I was in love with engineering. Years. Later I began to have a notebook with me. The function of the notebook was to create sketches of the projects I wanted to construct. As the years progressed, I was hooked on further more into engineering and science.

I began horseback riding at age four, and my equestrian pursuits have not only shaped who I am as an individual, but have kept me grounded. Working as a groom to afford riding lessons instilled a work ethic within me that has contributed tremendously to my academic successes. Rescuing a horse at a young age, and caring for him no matter the circumstance, has given me a strong sense of commitment that translates to all avenues of my life. Besides shaping my character, being entirely responsible for my horse throughout college urged me to find a productive balance in my life. Learning to make time for hobbies and other activities outside of academics has greatly improved my overall well-being, and is a lesson that will be invaluable as I pursue

For as long as I can remember math and science classes fascinated me to no end. Once I started wielding science as a tool to understand life, a whole new world opened up. There is nothing more satisfying

I have always been interested in science and the way things work. My interest in the medical field started by the time I was in kindergarten. However, I was interested in being a veterinarian at that point in my life. I loved and still do love animals, but changed to wanting to be a human nurse when I was in middle school. I would always go to appointments with my grandparents and parents when I was younger. Watching blood work being taken and the way a doctor would contort an MRI always sparked an interest in me.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is the question we get asked all throughout our younger years. For me, my calling was not clear to me until I reached my 20’s. At this point in my life, I had established myself in a career with the military that I could continue with for the remainder of my working life; but, I was not happy with where my life had led me. I wanted to be an engineer. I wanted to build and design new things. As I experienced more of what the world had to offer, I began to settle on wanting to work with race cars. My passion for motorsports was quickly growing. I not only wanted motorsports in my life, I wanted to be part of motorsports and contribute to the furthering of it’s technology. I wanted a career that I not only would be proud of, but I would enjoy doing every day. So, I promised myself I would do whatever it takes to reach that goal.

When I was child, there was a Television program called, MacGyver was telecast every Wednesday in a week which I enjoyed most. How the MacGyver works to solve serious problem with everyday items was very much intriguing to me. Since then I have been always trying to solve things, no matter it is beyond me or not. My father told me that learn mathematics properly if you want to be like MacGyver. I guess that was the unintentionally foundation for me to be an engineer.

In middle school my love of reading shifted into non-fiction. I spent my free time studying science articles of all kind. Online resources and Science magazine became part of my daily routine. My interest in astronomy had me reading brief news articles, while I read long lab reports to satiate my curiosity in animal science.
