College Admissions Essay: Walking Machines

Improved Essays
I have invented many things throughout my life. Lot of them, indeed. I have worked for many years as a software expert devoted to research and development. Among other things, I have invented cryptographic systems, videogames, interfaces between different computer technologies... but none of those things are really important to me.

If I had not studied biochemistry but engineering instead, right now I would like to be constructing walking machines, a passion that has accompanied me since I was child. Of course, when I was so young I only dreamed of machines, not actually building them. However, in my teenage years started to program computer models of walking systems in my ZX Spectrum, an old 8-bit computer not many youngsters remember. They

    I started off small, assisting with histology procedures until I was familiar enough with the laboratory to take responsibility for the preparation and imaging of olfactory tissue. I began my own project of designing and building an olfactometer. It was surprising not only how much chemical engineering knowledge I was able to apply, but also with how much I was able to learn along the way. I learned how to use circuits and an Arduino Uno to control a series of solenoid valves. There is always so much to learn, and for me, that is what draws me to research above other career…

Typically, these parts can be removed without damaging the function of the bike. There are no rules for making your own bobber, and you have complete control of your own freedom throughout the process. Really, the removal of any component that is not required for ongoing riding is up to you and depends entirely upon the amount of weight that you would like to cut. You can leave or remove components that meet your demands as you see fit.…

    “Thank you.” This was the simple yet meaningful response a patient’s husband gave to the emergency physician as I observed from the corner of the room. It was determined through a plethora of laboratory studies and clinical intuition that the patient was suffering from hepatorenal syndrome, secondary to her battle with metastatic colorectal cancer that spread to her liver. Her husband knew the prognosis, but this time she would be unable to recover. Despite the manic pace of the emergency department, Dr. Gregg took time to carefully explain the patient’s situation.…

    I have always loved science. As a little girl, topics like the water cycle and the digestive system process interested me, and as a teenager, these topics stimulate a feeling of curiosity and awe in me.

I would love to attend the CHI Health Care Career Exploration Camp because I believe that it will help me narrow down my career choice. Other reasons are because of the vital information that I will receive about a career in the health industry, and because I believe that this experience would positively impact my future in a scientific career.…
