My Brilliant Career

from hosting the first Continental Congress, headquartering the United Nations, and the millions of immigrants that travelled through Ellis Island. Proving it’s a place where anyone from anywhere can come together making New York a united global hub. My late father always told me that New York is for dreamers. No matter how big or small anything can happen here. A true New Yorker, Jay-Z, once notoriously said, “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There’s nothing you can’t do.” What interests

Nikola Tesla Through an innovative and influential career, Nikola Tesla will be forever known as a technology pioneer. His contributions to society are known throughout the world, and we see his work all around us.Considering that, it helps people, including myself, identify with the magnitude of Tesla’s success when they learn how much of their daily lives are dependent on his strenuous hours of creative production. Even though he lived from 1856-1943 , his work has remained relevant as we continue

By far, the most interesting concept that I have ever come across in my life is the brain. The brain is a an array of complexities involving lobes, such as the frontal and temporal, that have different functions and control a different part of a human’s life. I think that the more one digs deeper into the way that the brain works, the more one begins to realize just how many things can go wrong in the brain which can lead to a lifetime of devastation. Looking at the bigger picture, I think that

As a child my grandfather would often utter a quote that to this day can loosely model my career goals; “Shoot for the moon, son. Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.” Like many, my short-term career goals at Y-12 are things like: aspiring each day to motivate and uplift those around me, giving my all to bring a more positive image to our work, and trying my best to learn all that I can from my brilliant colleagues. Long-term, my goals are to graduate from Tennessee Technological University

interested in working for someday far in my future career. Instead I looked to the graduate school I’m planning on applying to after finishing my undergrad here at the University of Minnesota. Specifically with Kathleen Hughes, a very successful brilliant faculty member of the University’s dental school. She is also my boss as well as on the board of admissions. It’s funny, I actually looked her up and conducted research prior to interviewing with her for my position as an office admin and her assistant

which threatened my vision arose where I transferred to a rural secondary school by the name Chekai which didn’t offer required science subjects. I was very courageous to pursue those subjects on my own and I passed well much to the surprise of everyone involved. During my time there, I managed to influence others to perform at their best across other subjects and this ultimately created a winning "team" which pushed the school to form an Advanced level class to accommodate us. My greatest influence

According to the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test, I am considered an ISTJ. I have a preference of introversion over extraversion, sensing over intuition, thinking over feeling and judging over perceiving. All of my preferences were considered “moderate”. ISTJs are initially considered unapproachable and are not overly quick to offer up their thoughts. Efficiency is an integral part of the ISTJ personality and a lack of consistency can easily anger an ISTJ. The “Introverted Sensing” aspect concerns

I felt when I sat in the Cessna Skyhawk 172 and the indescribable feeling during takeoff. That was the day I discovered that I want to fly. The freedom in its purest form, the joy that swells within, my personal experience and knowledge I gained in ground school, and the possibility of a future career in aviation are why I've decided that I crave flight, and why I want to fly. Looking down and seeing a view that only some people will ever bear witness to evokes emotions that are near impossible to

would have been taken care of at hospitals, simply because their parents for no fault of theirs are unable to meet the high prize of these hospitals; and on the other hand, the hospitals have managements with no sense of human sympathy. I have met brilliant children drop-out of school as early as the eighth-grade, simply because there were no schools in their community

difficulties pioneer Australians faced in regards to integrating themselves into their new environment (Ward & Hurst, 2003). The romanticised hardships of life in the bush were prominent in literature of the time, Henry Lawson’s preface for My Brilliant Career emphasises this, he describes the bush as a place “where people toil and bake and suffer and are kind”(Lawson, 1901). Lawson’s representation of the bush environment is also illustrated in his works of fiction; his short story ‘The Drovers Wife’
