From a young age, I have been fascinated by making things and learning how they work. My educational experience and community service projects have given me an appreciation for engineering from project managing and constructing my Eagle Scout project to enjoying my chemistry and physic classes. I plan on obtaining a degree in Engineering because I enjoy taking something from conception to production and I am interested in the science and math behind
I am excited to be one of the candidates for the 2017-2018 National Junior Honor Society. I understand that the National Junior Honor Society is for students who demonstrate exemplary scholarship, citizenship, service, leadership, and character. I believe that I have maintained a grade point average of 3.55 or higher and have shown all of the five given standards of the National Junior Honor Society. I believe that my involvement with the National Junior Honor Society will help me to prepare my future as a leader, character role model, and good citizen.
After taking AP Chemistry, I knew that I wanted to study chemistry in college. I also have been a very inquisitive person my whole life, wondering why things are and how things worked. My inquisitive nature and love of chemistry is why chemical engineering appeals to me. I am drawn to Biomedical engineering due to its application of both chemistry and biology to solve medical problems. Doing a complete 360, I am interested in art history, because not only do I find art fascinating, but I also find it mesmerizing how artists visually represent and were inspired by the world around them.
When I decided to become an engineer, I thought hard on what that entailed. I saw myself working on hands on projects with a skill and proficiency that I could truly be proud of. That's why after listening to the presentation for Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology in my freshman year here at Texas A&M I knew that this major was the best fit for me. The mentioning of learning how to manufacture and produce things from conception to finished product was very exciting to me. I also appreciate that the education is very application oriented rather than just teaching theoretical content. I feel that this directly prepares one for a future career in industry and this sense of job security is what really attracted me to this engineering
I would like to be a part of the WSU Army ROTC program because I have a lot of potential to offer and I want to develop into a full fledged Army officer. The military path is something I have always wanted to pursue since junior year of high school. The influence of growing up in a Navy family helped shaped my decision to enlist in the Army National Guard. I was fortunate enough to be advanced from PV2 to PFC at the end of BCT on November 2016. During Initial Entry Training I realized that my goals and beliefs were aligned with beliefs such as the Army Values and LDRSHIP principles. After learning about the Army values and LDRSHIP principles, I integrated these beliefs into my everyday life as a soldier and a working student.
I am honor to be a part of National Honor Society, I believe that I contributed to my community by helping other and being kind. I am very focused and hardworking individual because I know that I worked my way up top in very little time. I am very happy to get opportunity to be a member of NHS society, that means that I have fulfill all the qualities such as character, service and scholarship, as well as leadership. I am very excited to be a member because it will help me as a person to grow as a individual, I am looking forward to that.

Eagle Scout Custom A cultural custom in the area where I live is for a young man to earn the Eagle Scout Award. There are many reasons why this is a cultural custom. While the young man earns this award, he learns to be a leader, learns to give service, and learns various skills he will use for the rest of his life. A young man is strongly encouraged to earn the Eagle Scout Award and many resources are made available to assist him.
As a young child, I learned that education would be beneficial to not only myself but also all humankind. Growing up in a Northeast Florida housing project my father and mother did the best they could to raise nine children. My father worked seven days a week in the service industry as a waiter and bartender while my mother worked as a domestic employee in the homes of more affluent people in the south. My father had an eleventh grade education and my mother had not passed the tenth grade before she bore her first child. Neither parent completed high school but they had dreams of their children far exceeding their educational accomplishments. I was child eight of the nine and I knew early on that I did not want to live
One of my anticipated goals would be to increase overall safety of the transportation sector. I believe that an education in mechanical engineering would furnish me with the ability to lead a productive life as well as usher in changes in the commercial automotive industry.
It is an honor to be chosen as a candidate for membership in the National Honor Society. Academics, leadership skills, service abilities, and character are four principal parts of a superior student. I believe that I am inclusive of all these aspects needed to become a part of this prestigious group. Becoming a member of this organization is important to me, because it will help me get into an excellent college and push me to work harder in school.
It is an honor to write this letter of recommendation for Austin as he nears his goal of obtaining the rank Eagle Scout. I’ve known Austin his entire life and remember when he first started cub scouts. Each summer Austin comes to Georgia and visits with his family and each year he is excited to get back home to scout summer camp.
My interest in engineering came from being fascinated with the field of medicine and healthcare. From a very young age I have been exposed to many types of healthcare products such as blood glucose monitors and hemodialysis machines. Until my father was diagnosed with renal kidney failure, i had no idea that there were over 8 dialysis centers in the hampton roads area and that so many patients were going through the same treatments as him. I plan to use my skills from my chemical engineering background to make more economically friendly and efficient machines for dialysis patients to improve their quality of life in order to give them more time back into their lives instead of being hooked up to a dialysis machine for over 12 hours a week.
I have had the pleasure of staffing a Boy Scout summer camp for the past four years. At this camp, I serve as a merit badge instructor who teaches in the ecology department. Through my work, I have introduced hundreds of scouts to expanded knowledge concerning forestry, environmental protection, and basic scout skills. Besides my status as a teacher, I also get the amazing opportunity to befriend each camper at my scout camp and encourage each child to pursue their interests and ignite their passion for the outdoors. Additionally, I served in numerous leadership positions at the camp: including an assistant area director (overseeing class quality), and as the staff "Senior Patrol Leader" where I was a liaison between staff and administration,
I first want to apologize that due to some circumstances that relates to me, everyone has to take time from their day to be here. Today, I am not here to plea for any sympathy or to convince anyone that the current situation is not correct, but am here to share with you all my perspective in regards to the current situation.
I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.
