Personal Statement For Biomedical Engineering

Improved Essays
I was raised in a Vietnamese-Chinese household. Both of my parents grew up in Vietnam. When my parents married, they moved to America and found jobs as a technical assembler and a mechanic. A little while later, I was born. I have a little brother, as well, who is nine years younger than me. When we found out that my brother was autistic, we went through some problems. We didn 't know much about autism, so I sought out information on it though to educate both my parents and myself. I worked harder in school and studied more. I became a more disciplined and responsible person, which helped me when I choose to study instead of hanging out with friends. I learned more and took my education seriously because I knew when I grew up I would care for …show more content…
I researched on careers that would integrate my passions of helping people and learning about those particular subjects. I stumbled upon biomedical engineering and with more research and exploration found it to be a potential profession and I hope to study it in college. This is a plan because I could change my mind on my career choice, but my choice to continue my education is firm.
If I don 't get accepted to a college that offers biomedical engineering, I fully intend on studying majors that still involve science and math. I chose biochemistry and mathematics as majors and alternative majors for colleges and universities not offering my first choice major.
Since I grew up with parents who sacrificed much for me, I want to receive a good education to show my gratitude. My family is a factor in my pursuit for additional learning. I also enjoy learning, though, especially in science and math-which is the bulk of my major. Attending college has always been my goal since I started school, back in elementary. I intend to go to college no matter what. I strive to learn more and gain higher and advanced education so I will have a career and be able to provide for myself and my family when they desire my help. Extending my education and improving my knowledge can only help me for my future. Learning more will only aid me in finding a long-lasting career I will love instead of a regrettable
