A Jedi In the Making

As I cautiously draw out my newly constructed lightsaber, harnessed by the “Force” and ignite it blue half way in midair, I keep my focus steady on my opponent, Darth Vader the Sith Master, as he assumes his own en garde stance for an epic lightsaber duel. In a flash, my combatant casts his dark cloak aside and clashes his red blade against mine. The yellow tint from the interlocked sabers, illuminates the deep mass of evil behind the mask. I roll to the right, swing wide and crouch low to intercept Vader’s prodigious leaps and somersaults. I deflect the powerful blasted bolts of his unanticipated moves and surprise him with one of my own ridiculous back turning pirouette. He proceeds to launch ferocious multi-rotational

The convergence of imagination and science came to life the first time in seventh grade when I constructed the aerodynamic wooden CO2 powered car, impersonating a real life AA Fueler. In high school, I went on to program digital robots that navigated through a maze using Java language, designed and engineered a model bridge with Balsa wood, constructed and programmed vex machines to sort marbles based on weight, and built physics algorithms using Kinematic laws on Amazon hardware platform, molding technology and science. I can only imagine the exponential applications of such digitalization and the benefits of its …show more content…

    There are many genetic traits out there in the world, but if I could only have one that I could pass down to future generations, it would be The Force from Star Wars. I would want to have The Force because I would be able to read and control everyone's mind, and I would be able to move objects, no matter how big or small. I could, dare I say it, rule the world. I would be able to save people with the Force and help prevent future attacks from occuring. I could also help the government by getting involved with the CIA, and by using my special abilities, I could search for terrorists and fugitives that have escaped.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    As I walk through the automatic doors, I subtly wave my hand, using the force to open it. Cackling deviously with glee, I stride swiftly to my destination. Star Wars stole my imagination and introduced me to so many things that I love: mystery, mythology, and science fiction. Stories like Star Wars dare people to dream of incredible, impossible ideas. Hours spent poring over the combusting ship engines of super star destroyers stimulated my interest in developing spacecrafts and their components, leading me to pursue research.…

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

    “Congratulations!!” read one post on a friend’s Facebook wall, the day after she landed an office job in her field. “So amazing!” read another. “Are you ready for your big-girl job?” asked a third well-wisher, accompanied by a GIF of Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope. “I can’t believe I finally have a real job” was the text she sent me a few days later, from the comfort of her desk, where she had been hired to do operations work for an organization she had once, a few years prior, interned for.…

    I remember the day when I had the thought that would from that day on never fail to amaze me. I remember walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with the smell of Garrett Popcorn and sewage roaming the air. I remember seeing businessmen and business women making their way to work rolling their briefcases down the street. I remember the massive amount of tourists, including myself, stopping every five feet to take pictures of the beautiful sights of the city. I remember thinking to myself, “Why can’t these people learn how to walk in a polite and organized fashion?”…

    A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
