Career Choice:
I plan to double major in mechanical engineering and finance, but still face some uncertainty in this plan. My interests developed mainly from the push of my parents. Ever since I was a child, the overarching career I was pushed towards was engineer or doctor, so I pushed myself to learn topics that would better support these ideas. Classes such as Scitech gave me an understanding of what engineers do which provided me with a great deal of interest. Other clubs such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS have also given me experiences that have fostered this interest in engineering with competitions and processes of creating something.

Went to summer marching band camp starting in August which lasted from 8 am to 4 pm.

Greatest Fears:
My greatest fear this year is applying to college. I’m not sure if I will be able to find the right college for myself or achieve the college I want to go to. Especially since it is one of the most important decisions of my life, I want to make sure that the college I enroll in will be the best decision that I can make. One of my more defined fears is making it to Olin College, the college my brother went to. It is a very good school, but I am not sure if I want to enroll in it or if I can make it. I don’t want to go to school to work too hard, but I also want a good college to be successful in the future.
My greatest fear for the next four years of college is being able to work and succeed without the help of my parents. It is intimidating to become independant and become fully responsible for many parts of my life such as cooking or doing chores. It will be a new lifestyle and give me more responsibilities to take care of. This should be a valuable learning opportunity, but also a huge change to how I live now.

My parents tried and failed to seek the medicine that would even lessen the suffering or annoyance of this disease. We searched from Texas to Wuhan in China, trying different lotions, pills, special baths, but none of these supposed solutions provided any permanent aid but rather an occasional reduction of the itchiness. So I stuck with a lotion called Cetaphil which helped with my irritated skin, but provided only minor relief. I saw this irritation as something unfair. It provided excuses, anger, and reasons to fail. It was something I could complain

    An opportunity that added value to my educational experience has been participating in the honors society program. This has enabled me to gain more knowledge about the field of psychology.

    As an individual who was enormously pampered by her parents and greatly relied on her parents for everything throughout her life, moments that required me to become independent really pushed me to think for myself and work hard. From travelling to India alone at the age of eight to moving away for college, I had to make sure that my emotional ties to my parents wouldn’t prevent me from being independent and innovative. I refused to let life walk all over me, and instead pushed myself to overcome my fears and become my personal best. At such moments, I didn’t depend on my family to help me adjust to the new living environments, but rather took it upon myself to stay organized, plan out my day, and create my own living space. Instead of acting courageous and exclaiming how easy the transition would be, I acknowledged it would be difficult and focused more on getting myself back on my two feet.…

    I figured engineering would be a great career choice for me because some areas use creativity in one way or another, say if I want to be a civil engineer, then I would have to design objects before building them. It also uses the area of math and science, and I am a professional in those areas of study so it would be a job that won’t be as difficult, but still…
