1. I have developed an interest in science during my high school career, and love watching new technology being created. I figure that I will most likely either continue on to medical school after I receive my undergraduate degree or try to work to design new technologies that will aid scientific research and study. Therefore, it was really a no-brainer for me to pursue various STEM related courses and subjects. In my opinion, the STEM field contributes to innovation and world progress more than any other fields. Without STEM fields, I most likely wouldn’t even be able to type this paper, or use the internet to submit my college application and scholarships. If the STEM field were to disappear, the world would stagnate. In order to prevent …show more content…
As I mentioned in my first essay, I wish to pursue a career in either the medical field or technologies that contribute to the medical field. Both interests deal directly with STEM. STEM is a gateway for me to live my dreams and succeed in a field that is difficult to enter without the correct steps taken and references known. Majoring in STEM would provide me the education and contacts needs to enter the medical or technological field at an advantage. I believe that STEM is truly a resource that allows students to focus on their studies more intently and unearth his/her passions in an academic world. For myself personally, STEM would help me to narrow down the fields of medicine and technology to the precise profession that suits my interests. Likewise, in a world that is creating new careers daily, STEM is one of the few pathways that adapts to the growing diversity of options, and facilitates ubiquitous knowledge for success no matter the circumstance. To me, that means that I can reach my hand into the currently unknown world and create my own course of action with certainty that I will meet success along my way. There is no better way to enjoy life, than to find a passion and chase after it, and I conclude that STEM will allow me to do
I became interested in the STEM camp because I believe this camp will benefit me an enormous deal in the future. Attending the camp will support my future academic goals. In college, I intend to specialize in science, math, and technology. The STEM camp will help develop my educational interests and provide a glimpse into what I can expect from studying the areas of math, science and technology and engineering. I know that my future career will involve knowledge in these subjects and I want to do everything possible to allow myself to be exposed to whatever educational opportunities that can help me develop these skills. I would also like to have an experience at UTRGV because it is one of my possible college choices at this
I have been interested in the field of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for as long as I can remember. In school I received many more opportunities to broaden my horizons. As soon as I found out about it, I joined the Robotics team. My experience being a part of this team has been quite crucial to my decision about what I want to study in college. Robotics made me realize that Engineering is a very exciting field. The countless problems and the time crunches are quite invigorating. I was the Programming Captain in my junior year and I am currently the Robot Manager of the team. The courses I took throughout my high school career have also been crucial to my decision. I
STEM gave the tools and skills necessary to apply to amazing internship and encourage me to be an outgoing student. While in high school I participated in clubs such as civil engineering and animal rescue club where I helped collect $500 in donations for dogs in the BARCS Animal Shelter by selling chocolate bars. I have also participated as a member in the National Honors Society where we commit to scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Taking advantage of all these experiences helped make me develop and mature as a person.
As a child, I was given set standards by my community which were to survive and to conquer any challenges that may come my way. South Central Los Angeles has been stigmatized by other communities to be the face of violence, poor health and underperforming students, which placed a barrier between me and reaching my fullest potential. As a young teen, I began to believe in the stereotypes and allowed it to define who I was and who I will become in the future. However, with the guidance of high school mentors, I was able to gain the strength to tear down those barriers while also uncovering my hidden talents. As a high school student, I had the opportunity to take several interesting science courses and become one of the first admitted class to my high school’s new STEM magnet program. My amazing teachers loved science, and with the limited amount of resources provided, they gave all their students the opportunity to seek their true passion in science through hands-on classroom activities.

I am currently majoring in the STEM discipline biology. I chose to major in biology because of my dream and goals to attend medical school. Ever since I was a young girl I have always had this dream and desire to become a doctor, however my dreams and desire has only increased this past year during my first year of college here at Virginia Wesleyan. During my first year of college I came to the realization that it is not just going to take desire, I realized that it also is going to take dedication, hard work and patience, all qualities I feel I have. My commitment to the STEM Scholars program is one-hundred and ten percent, I am willing to do whatever it takes to reach my goals and dreams. I believe that the STEM scholars will be very beneficial
There is a lot of attention placed on STEM education from businesses and the federal government. First, this paper will explain what STEM is, how it came to be, and the reasons behind the urgency to implement this program in schools as early as kindergarten across the United States. Then this paper will address any potential issues for this plan, and how STEM can be a benefit the future of education.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers are the basis of the global world around us. They are in high demand and with this type of education provides a lot of opportunities for your career. It is so important to pursue these types of fields because almost all of the different types of careers is depending on this type of education. Let’s look at technology. We use technology every single day, I am using it to write this paper. Technology has increased so much over the past century and is still improving but we need new people and new ideas to come up with new inventions and keep improving to provide benefits for society. That is just one example why the STEM career is a good path to pursue.
My aspirations within the field are to advocate for social change and advance the quality of life of the underrepresented Latino community in the City of Philadelphia. I am certain that earning a Master in Social Work will equip me with the tools necessary to do this in a caring and supportive way. I am a firm believer of social change and that by helping our communities, change can be achieved. I am passionate about children, families and minorities. Being from a minority group myself, I am able to relate to those who have a similar background. Temple University Master in Social Work program is the best match for my goals and aspirations within the field.

My 21 years experience in the area of Dietetics has provided me with the knowledge and resources to grow as a professional in my
Although creating art is a very big hobby of mine, I have come to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to be successful in that kind of field, so I have decided that using my interests in the human body and biology would be a much better career path. I love learning about the way the human body works, it’s extremely fascinating to me, but I have not always been the best in STEM subjects. If I’m being completely honest, STEM classes are the ones I struggle with the most. Majority of the time I get so frustrated with a certain subject, like math, that I feel like giving up. The reason I have still not given up and want to pursue a career in STEM is because I enjoy challenging myself and my skills.
Healthcare, computer technology and business have been a goal of mine to explore and serve since childhood and I plan to live out indefinitely. I envision my goals achieved will be used to make a difference in the world and someone’s life. My exposure to healthcare has led to my love for the STEM industry. The other side of the STEM industry has led to my ongoing dream of one day entering the business industry.
The world today is much different than it was fifty years ago, or even ten year ago. New advances in science and technology are continuing to revolutionize life. As a result of this rise of science and technology, there is a corresponding increase in demand of capable employees in these fields. This area, collectively known as STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, has seen a great increase in demand. One response to this increase in demand is early and more focused STEM education. This has led to the recent and increasingly large appearance of STEM focused high schools. With this recent push to better prepare the next generation of students to be high achieving in STEM and fill the projected demand, the number of STEM high schools has grown. Along with the current societal setting of a changing transition to adulthood, the questions of what are some measured outcomes of STEM high schools and how do STEM high schools affect the transition to adulthood arise.
It is not just girls and women who benefit from STEM careers. Educators and business leaders view STEM learning as essential to improving technology and the wealth of the United States.
“During the next decade, the United States demand for Scientist and Engineers is expected to increase at four times the rate for all other occupations.” Computer Associates Technologies, made this video to support future generations to learn math and science. The public service announcement is effective at convincing the audience to engage into a career from STEM education because CA Technologies has made the video “wishes”, made a video to emphasize the idea of getting a career in the STEM Education before it’s too late. Interest in STEM remains lower in high school upperclassmen than in freshman and sophomores.
