Starting from the beginning John was born on on February 27, 1902, in Salinas, California, and died 1968 writing his best-selling novel in 1937. It was in highschool that Steinbeck found his passion for writing then went to college at Stanford until 1925 but never did he graduate. After leaving Stanford and hitting rough spots on the way it was with Of Mice and Men Steinbeck was becoming well known in his time with his book becoming a popular and critical success, was selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club. Having went through its publication,
When I exchanged to the Nanjing Technique University, it was the first time that I understood the programming. During the interval of exchanging in Nanjing University of Science & Technology, I worked on a project was that created an application in the phone which are able to calculate the value of BMI. Otherwise, we establish a database which includes the advice based on the result of the BMI. I like the method that we divided our project to different tasks, using the sticky note attaching to the board and reporting the progress of our task every day, contributing us to work together efficiently by well communication. First time, I realized how people conduct the considerable application efficiently and I am so fascinated with solving the coding the program that I feel I am deeply trapped in it and

I will encourage scholarship, leadership, and good citizenship with my school and community. With my hardwork, not only shall I benefit, but all that I help shall be benefited as well.
To most, Post-traumatic stress disorder is a phrase synonymous with war veterans and coping victims. But to me, PTSD simply sums up my childhood. My mother immigrated to the United States when she was twelve years old. An orphan of the Cambodian genocide, she was scarred mentally and physically by years of enslavement and inconsolable abandonment. My mother’s PTSD gave way to her everyday paranoia, and being raised by her has made growing up very challenging.
When I was six years old, living in Ethiopia, my dad won an American green card visa lottery among 53,000 people. Although it was exciting news, family members were discouraged because my dad could not afford the visa processing and traveling expense. However, he found a sponsor in Seattle, which allowed him to settle in America. As soon as he found a good house and a stable job, he started the process for me and my family. Multiple errors and obstacles delayed our processing for five years. My sisters and I were not able to focus on school because we had to travel to the capital constantly and it was far away from home. The cost of transportation, visa processing, and the stay at the capital was unexpected. My dad had to work two jobs to pay
As a Special Education Teacher, I am committed to working with children who have challenging behaviors. My objective is to help students develop self-regulating skills and to be able to function as part of a group. I believe that every child should be given the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential of communication and functional independence in order to build self-esteem and self-awareness. Through the mastering of these essential skills, a student will gain the ability to reach their fullest potential in all aspects of their lives. My overall goal is to make difference in the lives of my students by providing an educational program that will maximize the abilities of my students and prepare them for a more independent setting to
The idea of creating an artificial intelligence is becoming ever more popular in our society. Featured in movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and Ex Machina, many present artificial intelligence as mysterious entities that are dangerous to society as a whole. As the technology that humanity has at its disposal continues to improve, many fear that the threat artificial intelligence presents in these movies will become a reality. Even Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX said that artificial intelligence presents a “fundamental existential risk for human civilization” (Sullyman). Thus, many believe that artificial intelligence is an all-knowing robot that wants nothing more than the destruction of humanity due to the
When I first arrived at Rutgers University in 2014 as a freshman there was a lot about the school that I did not really know about. I decided it was best to just sign up for as much as I could and find something that I felt the most in tune doing. After looking around I did not find much that intrigued me or drove me intellectually to be my best. Flash-forward one year, I had yet to face any major challenges, more than often found myself slacking-off and lazily going through school. That was the moment I decided I wanted to attempt to conduct research.
Clinical medicine and science are inherently inseparable entities. Scientific advances and discoveries will perpetually influence any career in the medical profession. This was an idea I learned early on during my undergraduate education. However, my own interest in science spans further than using it as a means to an end. The process of developing theories and conducting experiments enthralls me. I not only strive to apply scientific findings to treat my future patients, but also hope to gain inspiration from my patients to advance scientific knowledge. I believe the ideal way to apply my interests, and to best serve my community, is as a physician-scientist. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would offer me the opportunities
Hi Ireri, your future goals are awesome! I took KINE 407 class with Dr. Chao and the health promotion job was amazing because you can help people who have different backgrounds. I am so excited for you because you are going to different states and communities. Different states may has different issues; however, eating a healthy diet, exercising and having enough sleep are three keys to maintain a healthy life. You may think Asian people always eat healthy, but more and more young Asian people eat unhealthy food now. You will learn more when you visit different communities.
Have you ever thought of the idea of driving a car without actually driving it? Have you ever thought of the idea of being able to live on another planet? Have you thought of being able to fully immerse yourself into a video game at the comfort of your own home? Not only have these ideas been thought of and hypothesized, we could achieve these ideas in the not-so-distant future; but it’s going to take a lot of work to actually achieve it.
Since learning AP Economics in my high school year, I have always desired to further my studies in economics. More specifically, I have wanted to study international relations in economics. Recently, Donald Trump has won the presidential election and his inauguration is expected to bring huge change in the world’s economy and foreign policies. These emerging crises have come to my attention and have sparked my curiosity. By applying for PEARL at Keio University, I plan to gain further insight into the topic.
“I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness – to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn’t solve on their own.” (“Bill Gates”)
Technology is evolving and changing everyday. Since the technological revolution, electricity has been necessary for survival. People might feel intimidated or frightened when they could be fired because of new technology replacing them. These people are invariably mistaken. New and higher-paying jobs are being formed because of AI. Furthermore, new technology will never replace the entire job market. At this moment, technology can not replicate the thought process of humans, but the technology is approaching. A computer pioneer, Alan Turing, from the 1950s declared that, “One day there would be a machine that could duplicate human intelligence in every way and prove it by passing a specialized test” (“Artificial Intelligence (AI)”). As a matter of fact, Alan Turing right now, is incorrect, artificial intelligence can not duplicate human intelligence because the human mind is extremely complex. On the other hand, advanced technology is replacing humans in the workforce. Due to the creation of AI, 3-D printing, and automation, technological advancements are doing the jobs people once did and will only grow in the future.
