College Admissions Essay: My Intended Major

Growing up, I was always the one expected in my family to succeed. My mom would always talk about the future; I would go to college, a privilege she couldn't obtain herself, and become a doctor to make enough money for our family. This was the career path I've always been interested in since I was a child. This helped shaped my goals in life and inspired me to work hard so I could make that ongoing dream a reality.

I picked this career path because I enjoy drawing. I also enjoy designing and mapping out structures. I find both of these activities to be very peaceful and fun for me. When I was eight years old, I had the biggest set of Legos. I decided to use them all on one huge house. So I sat down, began to build and I even started mapping it out on paper. I spent nearly an entire day building this mansion and of course, when I was done, I showed my mom. When I showed it to her, she was amazed and the next sentence she spoke was one that stuck with me for years. My mom told me I should be an architect. That moment Nine years ago made me realize what I wanted to do in the future. I thought if designing buildings is a career, that’s what I’m going to do. Becoming an architect when I get out of school is a life-long goal of

At some point in the process of choosing a college, you may have to choose a college major, or at the very least begin to narrow your options. While being undecided for awhile is fine, you probably want to have some idea of what you want to do when you start the college application process. You want to make sure you make the right college choice, and there’s nothing worse than finding your dream school only to realize it doesn’t offer the major you’ve ultimately chosen. Even though you know you can’t put it off forever, choosing your major can be tough.

Senior year, the best time of our lives and the last step in this chapter of our lives. This is the time when we have to buckle down and finalize our future, but in reality, it is not. Although we may plan what we want for the future, the things we want are not always the things we need. All we can do is work hard to achieve our goals and meet the standards we have set for ourselves in order to achieve as many of these plans as possible.

Something that make me smile, gets me excited, makes me do something is softball. I have played ball all since the day I could walk. I started off playing baseball since I was 2 years old. Then at age 8 I went on to play softball for a select softball team in Pearland. Playing softball has always made me smile! I love the intensity, excitement, and the teamwork that is used to play ball. We all look out for each other and try to pick each other up even when we are not all in the spirit. Some activities that involve science, technology, engineering, and math that I find to be fun is robotics and underwater robotics. Robotics has always been a big part in my life because my dad is a robotics teacher for this school and I always loved playing

A long time ago I moved to Denton, Texas for school, attended Texas Woman's for 4 semesters than dropped out.

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

The scorching oil splashed across my father’s forearm as he worked in a frantic hurry, ignoring the searing heat that ate away his flesh. He absorbed the trauma, swallowed the pain, and continued frying the chicken wings for his upcoming customers. Whenever he came home after toiling twelve hours a day in the cramped, hot kitchen, all I noticed was that permanent scar and the dark bags under his eyes. Noticing how closely I was watching him, my father held my face with his rough hands and reassured me, “I will make sure you will have a better life than mine.”

We all go through hard things in our lives. Some of these changes alter the way we live negatively while others bring around great positive change. I have gone through one of these changes and I believe I have greatly progressed as a person from it. I came here from Iran, speaking very little English and I believe myself to be relatively fluent now. I came to Trade Tech to learn more about my passion, chemistry. In Iran, I graduated from a pre-university with the equivalent of an Associates Degree in Chemistry. Here, at Trade Tech, I am double majoring in Chemistry and Math and hope to earn an Associates Degree in Chemistry and transfering to a UC or Ivy League college.

“What do you want to become?” is the question that many people ask me. I honestly did not know the answer to the question because there are so many things I want to achieve. I have been working so hard to find out what really make me happy. Since the freshman year in high school, I found myself enjoying doing science research and working with numbers. I attend STEM camp every summer to help out the teachers with activities. Seeing middle-school students work on their projects and running experiments make me feel so stunned and achievable. I realized how much I love science and I want to become a person who can change someone’s life. After four years, I officially become a senior of a high school. Time has gone too quickly, left people behind

Over the past ten years I have had the opportunity to connect with many people on a professional level when either I or my audience have joined the location I was working in at the time. Typically, when trying to connect I like to share a story where I take them though my career path as well as share a little about my personal life. This story comes to mind when I think about what drives my desire to go back to school and earn a bachelors degree. It really comes down to my family and a clear career direction that will allow me to spend more time with my family.

I truly have taken the road less traveled and have already felt the hardships of life at the age of nineteen. However, I am still optimistic that even through the darkest times, I can still be the light for myself and fellow students. Instead of attending a college or university fresh out of high school due to financial problems, I invested two years of my time to become a licensed cosmetologist. With my license, I can pay my way through school with no worry. However, my time isn't only dedicated to my clients. I wish to bring my talents in hair, skin, and nails to my fellow students on campus. Understandably, as college students, we do not have the money to be spending it on ourselves. With my skill, I can give students a fresh new look that
