Personal Narrative: Nasa's Curiosity Mars Rover

I am willing to try something over and over again until I can do it right. Therefore, I know the incomparably amazing feeling of watching something that seemed impossible become possible. For example, I take AP 2D Design, a photography course provided by my high school. A couple of weeks ago, I was assigned to do a piece on showcasing color. I could do whatever I wanted, as long as it portrayed “color” in a creative perspective. I came up with dozens of ideas within a day, but it was my mission to make those ideas a reality. I decided I was going to go to the quirky and overlooked parts of NYC. I went around Little Italy, SoHo and more taking pictures of graffiti and art around the city. I decided to comply these pictures into one major project- but I wasn't sure how. The little perfectionist in me, didn't let me give up. I tried different tools in Photoshop to incorporate the pieces together. After a few failed attempts, I finally did it- six pieces perfectly merged together to create one composition. I felt a strong sense of pride and accomplishment when I presented my work to my fellow classmates. I thought it would never be done, but I worked to the best of my abilities, spent countless of hours working on it and I achieved the vision I envisioned.

In the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see

Similar to many young people, I dreamed of leaving town and creating a big name for myself. After venturing through undergraduate and graduate school, I gained my first real job at

It was a feeling like I had accomplished everything I have ever wanted to do and some more.

These stories of passion inspire me to follow my own passion. These empowering stories have shown me that if I follow my passions in life, I too can overcome the challenges I will face in following my passion. In our lifetime, so many people are concerned about finding a stable career that makes good money. Due to this, they don't follow their passions and their work is just that. However, when we follow our passions, we may face challenges. However, those challenges are worth it if we have the opportunity to be truly happy and make an

As I sat at the long table in a classroom with over a thousand kids, I was ready to start the state science test that I had worked so hard to study for. As I nervously sat there waiting, it dawned on me that this, science and chemistry, is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

To be part of the IRUSA (SPELL OUT IRUSA) organization it has taught and made me more conscious about those who are suffering. An event that IRUSA helped organize for Syrian Refugees around 2016 gave me an immense chance to offer my service for the refugees. I was introduced to a famous Syrian Poet who revealed the trouble his family had gone through. However, my overall goal was to revitalize humanitarian response and aid as much as possible.

Have you ever had an enriching moment that opened your mind to the possibilities in the world? Well I have, when my family and I went to Las Vegas, Nevada. Yes, Vegas is a little odd to have a life-changing experience, but we didn’t follow the normal Vegas path. This involvement taught me to not to act anxious rather to take risks in life, and if I work hard for what I want things will work out.

Since I was little, I have been struggling to find the way to my future. I ultimately lost interest in each prospective career I considered. Despite my extensive soul searching, I never seemed to find the perfect fit. That was until we took a trip to a museum that became life changing.

Scott Dinsmore's Ted Talk was a inspiring Ted Talk one of the best ones that I watched. College students believe they know what kind of job they want, but when they start they realized they hate. Okay, now it's time to answer the question. The work that I can't not do is film. You don't need to look to far to be inspired all you have to do is go on Youtube and thousands inspirational videos appear. Thats what I want to do with my videos inspire people so they can do something great.

As the offical voice of RoverTVBox LLC ther have been many a time where i had to comunicate with other executivves of the company to brainstorm and gather ideas for research and development. i also have had the pleaser of discussing business preposals with high value investors. One incedent that still looms in my mind is when my business partner took lead in one of these meetings and completely ruined our chance of signing this investor. The conversation went a bit like this. To set the scene, me and my partner (his name is Alex) were sitting at a resturant waiting for our potental investor. The investor walks in and we stand to greet him, after a bit of small talk and chit chat we begin to discuss business. First and formost know that useualy

When I was a little girl, I wanted to become a film director. By the time I was ten-years-old, I had already come up with an idea of where I wanted to attend college, what I wanted to major in, what kind of movies I would make, and even what age I would most likely win an Oscar at. Even though my dreams were a bit unrealistic, my parents told me to keep my head up high and maintain the one thing behind my aspirations: determination. As I grew out of my movie director phase, I became interested in what was going on, on a global scale. Every day after school I would find my mother watching the news religiously and my curiosity drew me next to her on the couch so I could also be informed. I became very disappointed to see all of the horrible things happening in the world and I would often tell my mother about how I would come up with solutions to help those in

I have given a great deal of thought to the next leg of my academic and career journey. As I reflect on the road I've taken to get this far, I realize that I have not only learned a lot there were many late night papers, team projects and plenty of reading I have also grown a great deal on a personal level. I think that the best part of reaching this juncture is the realization that I set a goal and achieved it. It is a good feeling of personal triumph. I know that once my degree is officially completed and conferred it will be an accomplishment that can never be taken away.

This quote from Carol Dweck (Professor of Psychology at Stanford University) has inspired me the way I go about in my life. The belief in continuous learning with the optimistic approach towards hard work, learning and doggedness has always been my motivation. My plans for a master’s degree are centered on the motive of productive research contribution in transportation engineering.

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.
