The power of each generation is tremendous and will keep on changing due to new views, new discoveries, new ideology, new innovations, new inventions, and new lifestyle.

As a Millennium I am very fascinated with the STEM field, and know that due to my love to help people and my determination to succeed the opportunity to participate in this UC San Diego STEM academy would be a privilege. As a first generation college student coming from two migrant parents from Mexico, I have had to been independent and open up my own road to success. …show more content…
My parents efforts in order to provide the necessities for my brother and I , is a struggle that I would not like to go through, due to what my parents had to go through. I believe that through education I will be able to have a better life and help my parents. In school I got incorporated more into STEM and from there on I knew it was something for me, I became to ask questions like…“How does that happen” especially when it came to mixing things up and seeing the outcome. I began to be very curious and that’s how it started. In 2013, my grandfather got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Dementia that forever changed my life. This experienced brought me closer to science and I grew to want to learn more about illness and how it works. My first love was the feeling to help others. I have always liked to help people and through STEM is the way I plan to help others. Helping others is a feeling that not everyone likes to feel or even feels. For me it’s a feeling that I am not able to describe. I currently am a Student Athletic Trainer at my high school. The feeling after knowing that I did my part in order to help that athletic be able to pour out their passion and love for their sport on to the field and/or court is undescribed. When I was younger I would always be the student to volunteer in order to help another student and still do. I know that that’s what I love to do. I highly believe that I would be an excellent candidate for your STEM academy due to my compelling interest in the STEM field, my love for STEM, and my determination to help others. My interest in STEM unimaginable and there is still more to discover and that excites me! I know that STEM is not for everyone but I like a challenge , I am very open-minded, I am always prepared and ready to learn and always willing to try new things. As a female, it’s not too common to have a female to interested in the STEM field. But I want to make a change. I would like to leave this place knowing that I contributed and did my part. I would like to improve the way we perceive things such as not “normal” as being

    Throughout the years many things have happened to shape how our society sees things. Also how technology has changed not only in improvements but also for every aspect of human life. It is crazy how many major events have changed the world mentally and physically.

    Every day, my generation is bombarded with the new statistics and burdens of college expenses. The cost of college is becoming an ever-looming weight, shared by almost all students. The Forty Acres Scholars Program would help relieve this burden, and allow me to focus my attention on changing the world (and not on how to pay my next student loan installment). For example, though I've listed my desire to develop earlier computer science exposure, I also have a secret obsession with space exploration. As our population continues booming (currently at a rate of 250 people per minute), it is painfully obvious that our Earth will be unable to sustain the human race.…

    The Dominican Republic; a place where you can count the opportunities of success with one hand. If you didn’t have a connection to someone in the government, the chances of obtaining a job were improbable; this was common knowledge amongst the people of my country.

I was 17 years old when the connotation of “America” changed for me; my father came home with wonderful news: we had been given the opportunity as a family to move to America.…

    It is said that you find your way while you are in college, but I actually lost mine, and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. When I was four years old, I decided that I wanted to be a doctor and everything I did from that day forward was geared towards enhancing myself to be the best physician I could be. After my first year of my undergraduate degree at Michigan State University however, I was terrified to find that science and medicine did not hold the same draw for me as it always had. I found myself with the same passion for changing people’s lives, minus the desire for treating illnesses and researching medical conditions.…
