My unique experiences and opportunities have allowed me to become a well-rounded individual and balanced young lady with astute perspective. I have had the unique opportunity to work for a construction company I aspire to run; I have had the unique opportunity of working under the direction of a Professional Engineer who is a female; and I have had the unique experience physically perceiving how engineering and construction truly tie together. As the daughter of the owner, I do not receive special treatment; in fact, I am held to higher standards. As an employee, I am in the trenches with my peers preforming work and responsible duties. Although being in this position is tricky, I have found an effective balance of responsibilities and priorities. …show more content…
As they say, “everything works on paper”. But my construction experience has taught me the importance of visiting a job site before releasing plans for bidding or building. It is important to visit a job site and visualize the plan you want to implement, such as traffic control. This perspective of designing a roadway with a plan of it being built, reminds me to consider safety not only for the traveling public, but for the construction workers as well. Also, having the ability to read plans as an engineer does, then take a step back and read them as a contractor does. This allows me to comprehend the big picture rather than focusing on small insignificant details. It is also helpful when creating a schedule for a project, finding the best location to start the project and create a smooth schedule with minimal conflicts. I feel that these unique experiences and opportunities that relate to my dream of becoming a Civil Engineer have given me a solid foundation for my future. I know what I want to do, I have tried it, and now, I am ready to be
My future career must focus on being there for those who cannot always be there for themselves. Working as a nursing assistant in a nursing home and on a rehabilitation floor in a hospital, I dedicated myself to assisting residents, ensuring they had everything they needed. Many residents in the nursing home lacked family support, so I became their ally and friend. The residents' faces would light up as they shared their small steps toward their physical therapy goals. For new residents feeling anxious about transitioning to a new place, I offered reassurance and showcased the facility's best aspects, creating a sense of home.
One of the oldest and most famous suspension bridges in the United States is the Brooklyn Bridge, which spans over New York’s East River and connects Brooklyn to Manhattan. The driving force behind the construction of this iconic landmark is a trailblazing female engineer named Emily Warren Roebling. Emily was born on September 23, 1843 in Cold Spring, New York to an upper middle-class family. She was the second youngest of twelve children, but was especially close to her older brother, Kemble Warren, who enrolled her in a convent school in Washington, D.C. to further her education when she was 15 years old. Emily met her husband, Washington Roebling, at an army camp in 1864 and they were married a year later.
It opens our eyes to educate ourselves on things outside of school, and not just
For example, let’s say you have a huge test coming up, but the weekend before the test there’s a big party coming up. You know that you should be taking time to study, but instead you spend the entire weekend out preparing yourself for this party. You go back into school, and you flunk the test. You can take out of this experience that you should better manage your time, and dedicate part of your weekend to studying.

An introduction to highway building: Although there are many methods to constructing a road, all are based on the principle that geographical objects are removed and replaced with harder and more wear-resistant materials. The pre-existing rock and earth is removed by digging or explosions. Tunnels, embankments and bridge are then added when necessary. The material that the road is being constructed from is then laid by various pieces of equipment, which will be looked at in greater detail in this assignment. The construction management of roads has become increasingly more difficult as larger structures are constantly being required in increasingly short amounts of time.
