College Admissions Essay: My Love For Technology

Improved Essays
I try to stay away from materialism so that I could truly see what is important to me. I want to leave this world as a useful entity, not a person with giant castle. I do not refuse the necessity of money, though. However, the reality is that I feel many of my first-generation immigrant friends are focusing on material achievements, which implicitly equated to the dollars.
I used mostly my time and money to invest in self-improvements. The focus of my life now is to use my love for technology to improve people’s lives. Even living in advanced civilization, I feel that there are still many challenges such as car accidents, climate change which are up to my generations to solve. Being aware of these challenges, I can set a clear goal for myself.

    An unusually fragile underclassman: devoid of faith and fearful of a new environment brimming with the cold embrace of the unknown. “What do you like about yourself?” Sitting in the audience, listening to an assembly during my freshman orientation of high school, this existential question hit me like a tidal wave—initially destructive yet ultimately metamorphic. Those around me blessed with a wealth of confidence from a young age beamed with vanity: athletes, scholars, musicians and those exceptionally precocious few with the ability to thrive in multiple environments.…

    Tools Understanding the demographics and consumers personas has helped identify the social media platforms with the highest concentration of the target audience. The types of personas identified within the technographic profile also aided in the selection of social media platforms. Specifically, since the majority of adults between ages 18-34 tend to spectate, join or criticize brands, BT needs to concentrate on those platforms such as the Community Forum and Facebook that have the highest percentage of negative sentiment.

Nowadays people live in a consumer society, where the only thing that matters is if you have the newest stuff in the market, but as much we want to deny it no one exempt of being materialistic in some way, the truth is that every person in the whole wide world enjoys having material things, the problem occurs when these things take a more important place than family.…
