I Am My Graduate Career

Out of all of the skin care products in the world, your bathroom cabinet needs to be filled with products researched and designed by me. When I entered high school, I discovered my passion for selecting lip sticks, lip glosses, lotions, perfumes, and makeup foundations. You name it. After learning about the connections between the information in my chemistry class and these items, a light bulb went off! I maintained an A average in chemistry throughout the whole year! Additionally, in 2014, I became a student in the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which also heightened my interests in chemistry. In a science fair at that academy, there was a chemistry course where we made colorful slime, and during that process, I learned that I get an adrenaline rush when I am mixing different chemicals together to see what the outcome is. Majoring in chemistry at Norfolk State University will definitely prepare me for a very successful future in chemistry! My ultimate goal is to conduct research and development for chemical cosmetics. I plan to obtain employment at the greatest companies in the world such as L'Oréal and Avon.

Until about 2 years ago I was not quite sure what path I would choose for my future career, let alone what path I would choose when I arrived at college. I tended to be adept at subjects such as science and mathematics throughout my high school life, however I was never particularly fond of any one subject in particular. However, that changed my senior year of high school when I enrolled in AP Chemistry. I was intrigued by chemistry when I attended the pre-AP Chemistry course, however I was not particularly interested at that moment. However, AP Chemistry came with a plethora of hands-on experiments and procedures that existed to illustrate basic concepts of chemistry. Although it may sound mundane, I was amazed at some of the concepts we learned being implemented in front of our eyes, and I was especially

I plan to major in chemical engineering at UNR. Possessing a thirst for discovering how the world functions through the lense of science, I am interning with Dr. Casey in the Chemistry Department to experience chemistry firsthand. Alongside the heavy workload, I will balance volunteering with Dean’s Future Scholars at UNR, I’ve dedicated 200+ hours to the group and look forward to helping out the lives of low-income, first generation kids like myself. I’ll advance from college into the real world examining life at the atomic level while giving back to the

DOW Chemical was number one on my list of targeted places of employment upon graduation, and I was thrilled when I learned of my internship with this diverse and dynamic company. I want to contribute to their vision to “maximize long-term value per share by being the most valuable and respected science company in the world” by coupling the experience I will gain from this placement along with the knowledge obtained from a college degree. Dow’s values of Integrity, Respect for People, and Protecting Our Planet align with my values. My decision to pursue a career in chemical engineering was piqued in high school while I was taking AP Chemistry.

It all started when I was chosen to join an invention competition that was held in Indonesia. I had the opportunity to expose myself to the full range of the chemical and engineering courses, in which it helped to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in Chemistry. During the competition, I had to convince the

She enjoys participating in community outreach activities and is dedicated to giving back to the community. Patty and Dr. Scott Rocklage, her husband, gave a significant gift in 2016 to MIT’s (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) chemistry department. The purpose of this grant was to help the university in renovating the Nanochemistry and Nanotechnology laboratory. Her husband graduated from this school with a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry.

This further led me, in my junior summer, to a mentorship program with Professor Jaehong Kim at Yale, during which I learned about various materials used for sustainable water treatment, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and nano-sized membranes. By the end of the summer, I was able to design my own “super-nanomaterial.” but I would have to wait until college to synthesize

Linus Pauling’s life and work are, to me, a source of inspiration. I have, for some time now, been determined to become a scientist. I have always pursued my goals with tenacity and single-mindedness and can relate well with another who has done the same and with such great success. Linus Pauling’s work as well as his ability to convey his thoughts to large groups of people is exemplary of the level to which I aspire. It is said that he was an exceptional lecturer “with a gift for communicating complex ideas” (Goertzel & Goertzel, 1995, xiv). Additionally, his work on the chemical bond is most important to me because he wanted to understand something fundamental about the world and was able to do this and to change the way that people for years to come will learn chemistry and physics. I admire Pauling’s versatility and ability to become interested in very diverse areas of science and even other

Ever since the 3rd grade, I excelled in science and math-related courses. As I grew older I recognized my passion and knew that when I got older, I wanted to use this passion in a career in engineering. To further this passion, I joined a premiere science program called Ecotek Lab. This program was designed for elite students to work on perfecting their craft by carrying out United Nations based science projects. Since joining Ecotek, I have been opened to many opportunities tying back to my career interest in mechanical engineering.

I am a teen who has plans for the future. I am also a teen who wants to be a benefit to the nation, and to make my parents proud. In order for me to accomplish becoming a chemical engineer, I have to devote my time into my steps, and acquire the required skills. With the help of my parents, and education, they will be the stepping stones and help me pave my path throughout my journey. Turning big dreams into a reality isn’t as easy as we all think. It requires great patience, skill, knowledge, and a positive mindset for our dreams to come true in the real

The idea of seeing a project come to life is what provokes my desire to become an engineer. In the past, engineers have created the greatest historic innovations such as health technology. My passion for chemical engineering is seeing how the fundamental theories of Chemistry, Physics and Math can be applied to create an innovative industry. In very concrete ways, engineers

Out of so many branches of courses in science and engineering, Chemical Engineering has caught my eye. I strongly believe that our world in the future needs more Chemical engineer due to its unsustainable development. Our world today has made many modern inventions which lead to a more comfortable life than what it was before. Skyscrapers, transportation, mobile phones and thousands of sophisticated machines were invented to make life worth living. However, most people neglect the downside which may occur due to those

Curiosity, not usefulness, drove the team’s actions. Prof. Coleman said that his lab at Trinity College in Ireland routinely practices household science, to help them understand the properties of the two-dimensional nanosheets they study in the lab.

Chemical engineers are often defined as people who refine oil but this have change. Chemical engineering ranges from pharmaceutical to petrochemical industry, which is the main reason I choose it as it leaves me with wide option of careers once I graduate. Chemical engineer always have these question in mind “how do we make it more efficient, durable and environmentally friendly?” and living in developing country where our air is polluted, children die from malnutrition and fishes die from factory waste, sparked my interest in chemical engineering to improve the situation in my hometown.

I particularly love experimenting with the challenges involved in understanding Chemistry. The different aspects of Chemistry, as well as the continually changing requirements of our society, fascinate me. I wish to build up my career as a renowned researcher and participate in the cutting-edge research in the field of Chemistry. I also dream to have hundreds of publications in conferences and Journals with high impact factor. I believe that pursuing higher studies will be the best way for me to start the journey towards my goal. Moreover, the Ph.D. degree would not only extend my understanding of what I have learned until now but also help me to develop my career as an academician in future. A doctoral degree could help me to train up myself in finding; evaluating and documenting a research problem in a methodical way that I need most to become an organized and meticulous researcher in future. In every society, doctorates are widely recognized as exceptional talents and intellectual elites since they can have a significant contribution to the world through their research on analyzing the existing problems and finding feasible solutions.
