Example Of A Robotic Analysis

1017 Words5 Pages

If I move to a new country, a new school, I expect to be affected socially, but I never expected that moving schools would affect the way I view myself as a student and a learner. Ever since I was introduced to robotics I have developed a fascination with it, which has lead me to pursue it fiercely. This interest in robotics stems from my passion for math which on it’s own is my most defining subject. The Exeter summer programs “problem solving: An Odyssey of the Mind” cluster lines up perfectly with my interests, making it my primary reason for wanting to attend the Exeter summer program. My interest and passion for math, robotics, and problem solving makes me an excellent fit for the Exeter summer program.

From the beginning 1st grade up to the end of the first quarter in 6th grade I was attending school at the American School of Dubai (ASD). While I was at ASD I was, without a doubt, the best at math in my grade. The only problem was that ASD just was not a very academically competitive environment. Once I was at the top I no longer felt a need to better myself outside of school. This lack of challenge caused my growth in math to stagnate to a degree. This decrease in my growth academically started somewhere around 5th grade and stayed with me until I moved, in 6th grade, to Ho Chi Minh City, and my new school, Saigon South International School (SSIS). Coming to SSIS after ASD was a rude awakening for me. In SSIS the mathematical environment was much more competitive. My fellow classmates constantly trying to better themselves, but, while my grade was certainly competitive, the math team was what really changed my perspective. Anyone could join the math team but only the best got to compete, and as the only sixth grader on the team, I was overwhelmed by the competitiveness. That competitiveness was what made me realize that no matter how good you think you are, you can always get better. That realization changed how I viewed myself as a mathematician and pushed me to pursue any opportunities to improve myself in math. One of the opportunities I believe would help me develop in math is the Exeter summer program. The Exeter summer program is, to me, an opportunity to better myself in fields which I have a deep passion

    Before 10th grade, I had an insufficiently rigorous course load to yield a competitive GPA.

I saw myself devoted to the fields pertaining to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and aspired to pursue a career where I could apply my fascination into the field of engineering.

Often when I was in college of high school when math becomes more complex and there are more than one way to solve the problem I would enjoy exploring that. I would try and look for the most effective way to solve problems it helped me to avoid the trap of getting the right answer being the goal. This is something that has definitely got stronger the more math I master.
