Why Are You Taking Scientific Research?

My love and passion of science dates back to my early childhood. I was always that child who dismantled devices trying to understand what was responsible for the ‘miracles’ I experienced. Unexplainable phenomena, like why the fan blades spun so fast, or how the television was able to project the images of the people I saw on the screen. There was always that urge to explain what I could not comprehend.

 One of my best experiences growing older has been realizing that such technology is not actually vague or imaginary.  I realized that all this science-fiction technology is not far off in the future and can be accomplished by simply piecing simple parts of the knowledge we already have to come up with cutting-edge and outstanding technology. I hope to gather and increase my knowledge of science.

 I am also participating in this program because of the experience I hope to gather. I do not want to delve into science professionally without experiencing practically what professional engineering entails. It will help me make one of the most important decisions in my life: whether I want to study engineering as a university major and commit it to it as a profession. I believe science is a life-long journey that one should not embark on without enough perseverance.  I hope to interact with other students and faculty in order to understand their passions, learn from their stories and hopefully inspire my love for science.
