Rochester Institute Of Science Personal Statement

I consider science as my playground where I question nature’s rules and break them to witness phenomena. The possibilities that science can offer and what scientists can conduct keeps my curiosity active in learning how I can be part of the science community. When I was informed that my mother was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, I struggled to support her emotionally and felt unknowledgeable about the disease and her treatment. To understand my mother’s treatment and how she healed, I challenged myself to excel in every AP science course my high school offered to learn the foundation of science. Throughout my science courses, I drowned many times because the concepts were demanding. However, my passion for science and my mother’s condition kept me striving on. After various science classes, I felt passion was not enough and wanted to expand my abilities in a health environment. This led me to volunteer at an

A great philosopher once said, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Through education, our greatest wishes and desires can be achieved. For instance , sending an American safely to the moon was once a dream of President John F. Kennedy. Numerous individuals doubted and criticized this nearly impossible mission and the president’s state of mind. Without the assistance of educated scientist’s, it would have remained a dream for America. The knowledge gain from education unlocks doors for new possibilities and discoveries. Though John F. Kennedy and I don't share similar dreams, we share the willingness to succeed.

Two of my long-range goals are to spread the joy of playing music and to make a difference in this world through research and development of environment-friendly technology. Continuance of my education in music is essential for me to become more proficient as a musician, and through this journey I will have more opportunities to share the joy I experience through music. Likewise, academic training in a STEM field, specifically engineering, will allow me to move in the direction of developing technology that will sustain the environment for future generations as well as harness renewable energy thus minimizing our negative footprint on Earth.

With the advancement of technology and of modern societies, the present is currently the golden age of discovery; where information, new and old, are transferred all over the world in an instant. The knowledge we hold are discovered every day, processed, studied, and taught to students. With the vast information we hold, the things taught and learned are also increasing. The vast information we have and the students, are the key to a better future. Society today depends and relies on the new generation, but at a great cost. They push the students mind to the limit, making an army of highly educated students that will benefit society. However, not everyone ends the same way, many are lost and many are not given an opportunity to learn as well. There are students who fail and give up because of too much strain on their minds and bodies. The burden of our future is placed on the shoulders of the students, therefore they should be prioritize above all else.

I realize that there have been many things that have influenced my growth as an individual. However, because I am so often drawn to ideas in math and science, I’d have to conclude that these two fields of study pose the most compelling as far as personal development. My interest in these fields have impacted who I am today. As a younger student I did not really care much about school. In fact, my second grade teacher pronounced me a failure, but my parents believed in my strengths, and gradually school turned a corner for me. By the end of my sophomore year I had begun watching lectures of theoretical physics, and deep space astronomy from the World Science Festival. I went into my Junior year very ambitious and self motivated! My cumulative GPA within

My exposure in the field of engineering can be traced back to my high school days. Not only did I take science classes such as physics, but I was also a member of two engineering clubs which taught numerous material outside the school’s curriculum. With that

I would like to be in Honors Science because I am ready to take on the challenge, my passion for science and the natural world has grown and I am a self motivated learner that is always willing to learn new material. Honors Science would give me the opportunity to do each and every one of those things as well as challenging me with more complex things. My passion for science has grown and as well as my curiosity for the natural world. Science is made up of so many different attributes and topics which makes it so interesting to learn about. This year especially, I have learned about chemistry and what it is, DNA and what it is made out of, and waves and technology and what it does to help our world.

Adventure’s in the Atomic Age displays the idea that financial barriers and difficult courses should not be what is stopping someone from being successful in the field of science. “Scientists would feel a sense of purpose and inner satisfaction even if their efforts were not important to the world in which we live. In actuality, of course, there is no group of persons on whom society as a whole depends so heavily” (292).

As technology, science, thinking and discovery seems to grow, so does the growing gap of what is now and what use to be. Money has become scarce, generations and race lacking opportunity they deserve, or even something like choosing what needs to be done, over what one wants to be done. Unfortunately, for most, people have found that they must pursue a life style that was not what they had first imagined, nor was it something they saw coming. In a specific case, a college student confronts Hillary Clinton about the concerns of how young college students today may graduate without a reassuring feeling that their effort, money and time had been wasted, and their dream careers seems out of reach. In response, Hillary Clinton proposes the idea that perhaps it isn’t the system, but the “mindset” of young students today.

As a local of the Pittsburgh area, I view Carnegie Mellon has always been at the forefront of achievement. From the Google Lunar X prize, the Alice program, or autonomous cars the school shows its culture of dedication to achievement. Carnegie Mellon also shares the arts with the great theatre program, and a specialization in my favorite instrument, the bagpipes. The school thus placed itself at the forefront of my goals, and it a place I can be challenged and achieve in my desired field of study. My long term career goals are the same for each major I am applying to. I want to take part in the continuation of human space exploration. Nothing creates more genuine passion and excitement from me than the news of space exploration. Private corporations, increased federal spending, and a revitalization of space programs shows potential for this field.

Since both my father and grandfather are engineers, I naturally grew up in a household that encouraged inventive thinking. As a result, I’ve always been interested in solving problems and passionate about discovering new things, whether building and flying model rockets and airplanes or assembling computers from scratch. This encouragement and background has led me to pursuing a degree in engineering, specifically Aerospace Engineering. Attending Purdue will provide me with cutting edge research opportunities allowing me to make a difference in the space exploration industry of the

Either, it is a two-side issue of the public sector or the private sector. This data explains that only eighteen percent of bachelors in Physics would go on to receive their PhD, and even less of them go into academia. With that, the presentation does not specify much when explaining the private sector, which obviously, would mostly be actuary. What was new to me that I appreciated was the introduction of the Physics Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education which connects Physics concepts with their real world applications and create innovative solutions. The presentation becomes general and reminds us that we are integral in STEM where an employer might ask about one’s leadership skills and awareness of career paths outside of

The education of a physicist start can start at any age, though it focuses primarily in high school and up. All that one needs is creativity and curiosity to be devoted to their pathway, which can be obtained as a imaginative child. From there, Dr. Michio

With confidence, I want to proceed with the master’s work at Oxford to gain a higher degree and greater research opportunities in the midst of British culture. I believe that my personal interests, social conscience and experiences, would contribute as much as my research skills to Oxford’s social and intellectual culture. At Oxford, I am looking forward to sharing, broaden my research interests and through multidisciplinary and innovative approach. I hope to see myself at the welcoming doors of Oxford University next fall, in mastering the unique theories in Philosophy of Physics and then, enter the finest academic community available to pursue my research and contribute my voice. In doing so the Rhodes Scholarship will be a most helpful asset in overcoming my financial crises and in bringing me closer to my dream of studying Philosophy of Physics at Oxford. So that my unquenchable thirst for Philosophy and never ending interest on various domains of Physics could be

Physics is often deemed “useless” and “stressful” by young students taking the course in high school and college. However, many you students don’t the advantages and opportunity’s that the subject can provide for them in the future. Most young adults think that Physics will most likely not help them in the future and end up being waste of time and a credit, but, most of them don’t know that the careers that physics provides can both high paying and fun . Over the course of this research paper, I hope I can provide sustainable reasoning on why Physics can help us in the near future.
