Education has been more of an opportunity rather than a chore. I have never viewed graduation as closing the book. I have always thought of it as an introduction, something that would shed light to the rest of the story. My lifetime goal is to become a brilliant engineer and change the way humans live through innovation. Words like devoted, committed, maybe even obsessed come to mind when people learn how I have prepared myself for my future.
In eighth grade, I was given the opportunities that most schools could not offer. I was able to take Spanish 1 a year early, expediting my foreign language credits. This meant I would be able to fit another STEM class in place of my language elective during my junior year. I was also allowed to switch the required typing class with an introduction to engineering class that focused on using Computer Aided Design software known as C.A.D. This class taught me the basic functions of a program that I was able to use during my engineering classes in high school. It contributed to my interest and success in those classes. Being gifted in math, I was selected to

I have taken classes such as communication applications during the summer break to ensure room for a civil engineer course. Instead of taking the basic sciences, I have thrived in AP Physics C. During my senior year, I will be completing AP Chemistry to support future lessons I receive from my college professors. At the end of my junior year, I signed up for a mini course of Calculus AB. After 10 weeks of tutorials, I gained sufficient knowledge and was granted entrance into the Calculus BC class for my senior year. While the College Board exams may allow me to test out of a subject, I may elect to take my major related courses again in college to achieve a better understanding of all concepts. I will do this to ensure success in my future Chemical Engineering education and post-college
My freshman year of high school was difficult for me to adjust to and I did not perform to the best of my ability on my biology honors midterm. Due to this discrepancy, I was unable to be accepted into the Science Honor Society in junior year. Although disappointed that a singular grade had the ability to decide a part of my future two years later, I continued to work hard, especially in my science courses. Junior year, I decided to challenge myself and take an AP Physics course, even though I had never taken a physics course prior. This class was excruciatingly demanding and a new experience for someone who had never taken an AP class before.
The majority of students would never consider putting themselves through a course load consisting of Advance Placement and honors classes. Even fewer would push themselves to achieve straight “A’s”. However, I decided that this type of course load was necessary to become one of the best. I wanted to take classes that my peers would refuse to take. I even
Throughout high school I have tried to take classes that were not only challenging, but would also be relevant to my future. I have taken nine AP level classes since sophomore year, and I have thrived in the difficult coursework that is meant to be college level. So far, I have proven my hard work and dedication by passing all of the AP tests thus far. I have also taken advantage of the advanced math coursework that is two years ahead than normal. I began this track since the fifth grade, and I continued and progressed all these year.
At Calvin Coolidge Elementary School, advanced math class started in fourth grade. I have been put into the higher math courses ever since then. Once I got to seventh grade, I was put into pre- algebra honors and in eighth grade I was placed in algebra honors. I have never had below a B in math ever which shows that I am a hard worker and I aim to do well in school.
In 7th grade, I transferred from Bryan Middle school to Visitation Catholic School and there was not enough room in the accelerated math program, which ultimately set me behind. In high school, I found myself bored in math and knew I needed to challenge myself, so I ended up setting up a meeting with the math department head and we discussed my options. Sophomore year, I ended up taking two math classes, which was not easy; double the test, quizzes and lessons! However, by taking two math classes, I was able to get myself into a higher math class which ultimately was my goal, and achieving it was an amazing feeling.
I have been surrounded by books all my life, that makes me one of the lucky ones as I developed an appreciation for books, information, and stories at an early age. Birthdays, Christmas, every holiday was an excuse for my grandfather or another relative to give me a book. My room contained multiple book shelves that needed frequent weeding, due to the lack of space for newer arrivals. I believed, due to my love of reading, that I was meant to become a writer, and some writing awards in my high school years supported that. However, four years of getting my Bachelor degree in English (with an emphasis in Creative Writing) only taught me that I love books and that I am an excellent tutor to my peers and children.
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
When registration began, I applied for introductory science, math, and computer science courses to see how I would perform. Once classes started, I discovered that the material was both difficult and intriguing, and that this fascination drove me to perform well in these classes. During this time, I also learned about the different majors in the Engineering school. I attended major fairs and talked with my classmates about their majors and what they wanted to do. After this exploration, I became interested in Mechanical Engineering and its ability to provide a strong education in basic, yet critical, elements of designing objects and systems used
One of the things that first drew me to the University of Georgia was its renowned honors program, and now that I have fallen in love with the university and with Athens, I desire greatly to be a part of this impressive program. If accepted, I hope to benefit from the program’s research and internship opportunities, and boundless connections that which prepare me greatly for graduate school and the work force after UGA. Entering into the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences as a freshman this coming fall, I have an immense fascination with physical and life sciences such as physics, chemistry and biochemistry that I hope to greater explore in my first few semesters on campus. As an upcoming woman of science, I know that I can benefit markedly from the internship and research opportunities that the honors program offers.
One very important lesson I’ve come to realize is that life is full of important changes and you must be willing to embrace them rather than reject them. Before applying to the University of Wisconsin there were two very necessary questions I had to ask myself, have I matured enough to value the change in my education and what kind of future do I want ahead of me? Of course there is no easy way to answer those two questions but after reflection I believe I have arrived to an answer that I was not able to prior. From my experience working after high school and my time at Hamline University, I’ve learned that value of my education. These experiences not only helped me learn a great deal about myself but bolstered my passion in the field of finance and accounting.
"Time and Tide wait for none", keeping that in mind I decided to sort-out some options for further education after completing my bachelors in field of electrical &electronics engineering,during period of my bachelors i have developed my keen interest in Fields of electronics and other hand electronics is inseparable part of human in 21st century so it's evergreen field . I have completed my bachelors in electrical & electronics engineering from GTU having a CGPA of 6.82. During my bachelors I acquired knowledge related to Power electronics, Industrial automation, Power system, Electrical machines etc. The sprak of getting deeper in the field of electronics ignited in my mind when i came across subject called 'Industrial automation' during my bachelors and that very time i decided to go deep in electronics field.
Every year, I took a rigorous course schedule filled with advanced classes. The majority of the classes that I enrolled in were AP classes that not only helped me receive college credit and learn how to study better, but also helped enrich my
In the course of my high school experience, I have always had this vigorous desire to challenge myself academically with the most difficult classes. As a freshman, I was among the few students selected to take Biology, a tenth grade course. I was also part of the Honors program, taking Honors World History 9th and Honors World Literature 9th. The following school year, I continued to be part of the Honors program, taking Honors World Literature 10th and my first advanced placement class, AP World History. On my Junior year of highschool,
Since, calculus was my first AP class in high school. It helped me towards developing a higher level of studying because it was a class two years advance from the norm in my grade. Many of the assignments were vigorous and expanded the way I would approach many situations. It felt as if the class was a combination of multiply classes together.
I scheduled only honors and AP courses and maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school. The most advantageous of these courses were Honors Physics and AP Calculus AB. Calculus introduced me to new concepts and more advanced approaches to those I had previously learned. Physics taught me to apply what I learned in Calculus to real-life situations. Taking these courses together has outlined to me the importance of not only understanding the information presented to me, but also having the ability to apply
