From the moment I walked into Google headquarters in New York City last June, I felt like I belonged to something so amazing. All of the employees welcomed me with open arms as I entered a room that felt like the home of technology. Each person in that building had something very unique about themselves however they all shared a common passion which is engineering and technology. Hearing about each of the jobs they offered at Google made me want to learn more about the field of computer engineering. They say that you have to be the best of the best to work at Google and I was willing to do anything to get there. I left Google with one piece of advice from my tour guide that day, which was “start your experiences early”, and that is just what

However, as I grew up I have demonstrated a strong understanding and interest fin math and science. As a began taking more math and science classes I realized that did not want to be like other girls and become a teacher, I wanted to be an engineer. I enjoyed the fact that I was able to think, strategize, and create solutions to solve problems. Whenever I am studying mathematics and the sciences, I was always in my comfort zone and passionate in learning more about these subjects. Many people ask me why engineering I tell them that not only was I passionate about mathematics and science at a young age but I was also inspired by my father. The primary reasons I would like to pursue a career in engineering, is to follow in my father’s footsteps as an IT engineering professional. Every year my father would take me to Take your child to work day where I would spend the whole day at his office surrounded by all types of devices. Visiting my fathers work allowed me to gain more knowledge about computers and how they work. I would always look forward to this event each year since I have been always so engaged in the …show more content…
Last summer I came across an email from a program called The Samsung Mobility App Academy designed for high school students interested in engineering and technology. I decided to put in an application because I had an interest in technology and I wanted to see if I would consider computer engineering as my career in the near future. In just three weeks I received a letter in the mail stating that I was accepted among 30 students to attend the program that summer. At that moment I felt so privileged to be accepted out of the thousands of high school students in New York and New Jersey. Little did I know that this experience will allow me to learn more about technology than I ever had. The program took place in the city and lasted three days. In that short amount of time I was able to learn so much about the field I had been so fascinated about since I was little. The main focus of the program was to learn how to make a mobile application. This was my favorite part because I was able to learn more about how mobile applications actually work. There are so many different steps when it comes to creating an app which makes it hard for one person to do it alone. Throughout the three days I worked in a group four to create a postcard application. These four days allowed me time to network with a group of people who were also considering pursuing engineering as a career
