The houses all look the same in my neighborhood. Each person inside, however, is one in seven billion. My town and its diversity have taught me many lessons about society, but two groups have taught me the most in life: my parents and the FRC community.
My parents worked to give me a prosperous life, and their actions rippled into the opportunities I have today. I started out in a rough area of Houston, but I moved ten minutes away into one of the best areas in the country. My father gave up his easy life as a METRO employee, and he returned to engineering to give me a better life. A life in a community where it’s impossible to tell the rich from the poor, and the schools don’t discriminate.
From the start, my street has been home to military …show more content…
This team let my creative mind blossom. Through the FLL program, I learned of the high school FRC programs in the community, and I joined FRC Team 624 in high school. For several hours in a week, I could take raw material and transform it into an important piece on a robot. From that point on, I aspired to be an engineer. With my parent’s support, I went to regional events across the US, and I became shaped by more than just fixed group of people. I get to be mentored by professional engineers, and the robotics facility has become a second home. The robotics facility, The Shaw Center, taught me everything from time management to social interaction. The robotics community defined my high school memories. I started out antisocial, and now I can chat up roboteers all over the world with good reason; we all love STEM. This community is a place where students can exercise imagination regardless of social class. I have the chance to work inside Building 9 of the Johnson Space Center, and I’m inspired by the possibilities that a high school student can make a computer and aluminum. The climax of my experience from this community is landing an engineering internship at Wood Group through the KatyISD Pace program.
It would wasteful of me to pursue anything other than engineering. Engineering will be my way of giving back to the community. The first step to something grand is ambition,
