After I graduate college I plan to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and become a Manager of Space Launch Vehicle Division at NASA. By going into this field of study I wish to create better rockets and space rovers, further explore space, and help expand knowledge to younger generations. Space is one of the universes’ biggest mysteries and it is up to us as scientist to obtain as much knowledge as possible while keeping the younger generation interested to continue our research. I have been mechanically inclined since I was little; building, inventing, and using my wild imagination to create different things. My father is an electric engineer and I have always followed him, whether to work on cars or to help invent new machinery for the plant he manages. I wish to practice this knowledge on rockets and space rovers to better their explorations and allow them to go on further missions without the fear of failure. By creating better lasting space equipment, mankind can explore further than ever and bring back more data and information that we can apply to what we already know from past missions. Over the past sixty years scientists have obtained a plethora of new information about the universe we live in, yet there are still many unknown things. I wish to help gain evidence to support the questionable facts while exploring new planets, moons, and …show more content…

If the younger generation is not interested in continuing where current scientists have left off then our work will be for none. That is why it is important for current scientists to talk to and keep the public informed. During my years of research, I wish to set apart time to be able to talk to students in school and to interest the public so that science can continue forever without fear of desolation. Science is one of the most important components of society and scientists must continue to work to preserve

There are many explorations taken in the Grand Canyon trying to learn to learn more about the earth’s crust and how it is formed. In Timothy Egan and Casey Egan’s article they give evidence that science is helping us to understand the age of the earth, “The rock floor is around 1.8 billion years old. At the rim, the Kailbab formation is 270 million years old”(Timothy Egan and Casey Egan). Many scientists also go to parks like Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park to study wildlife and different plant species. “Whether this park would continue to be a living thing, with its nearly 750 plant species, was perhaps out of our control”(Timothy Egan and Casey Egan).

My interests in technology did not come until later in my life; when I attended my first engineering and technology workshop. Back in the summer of 2012 I was accepted into the Rowan University’s Boys Engineering, Science, and Technology (BEST) Program. Throughout the event I was in awe and fascinated by what engineering had to offer. We built bottle rockets and constructed penny bridges, but what stood out to me the most was the hands on experience with computer programming.

At the age of ten being raised by minority parents was very difficult for me at the time. At the age of ten I was forced for my English and Spanish vocabulary to be very proficient due to always translating for my parents. At that age learning both languages was annoying, frustrating, and difficult; however that experience shaped me to be a proficient bilingual nurse present and gain benefits by being bilingual. The benefits where the many open job opportunities with the increase pay. This experience also assisted to raise my daughter to speak and write both languages actively although just not the way my parents forced it on me.

I saw this as the only way to bring my dreams of designing aircraft to life. Lately, however, I’ve realized that my curiosity encompasses all things mechanical, not just aircraft. Mechanical engineering will give me a much broader palette of tools to solve problems, especially when supplemented with classes in aeronautics. I will contribute a different perspective to studies in mechanical and aerospace engineering as tech, as I will see them from an interrelated viewpoint.

I have been committed to volunteer as an English and math tutor at Oakland international high school since 2013.a high school that was founded with the help of the bill and Melinda gates foundation for new comers to the united states. It was a great experience for me. Even though I’m only volunteering once a week, due to having two jobs, I still believe I’m making a deference in someone’s life. This contribution to my community is important to me, because I have many things in common with the students in this high school, not only do these students have a tremendous academic disadvantage in the education system, some of them have never been to school before, and some of them have arrived to this country without their parents, and they carry the same ambition I have of becoming successful and returning to their home countries to support their families. also when I first arrived to this country, I had the same background with these kids, I lacked basic skills in math and English and I hoped there was someone there to help.
