What do I want to be when I grow up? A question asked from the time you can talk it seems. Although this thought can be mildly perplexing I feel that through the hard-core pursuit of a higher knowledge in your personalized field of study we all can achieve the answer to the ever difficult question of our destiny. Through this project I have really focused on what I want to be “when I grow up”, I have not only researched through the internet but also through the use of other resources such as the world wild web and news articles. I have learned a lot, some good, and some bad but I have learned none the less. Although I may have thought that I wanted to be an Industrial Engineer after this project I know for sure through this senior project. …show more content…
This news also came as a disappointment to me that I might be making a mistake choosing this field but somehow the devastating comment also came as a relief to me, without his comments how would I know if I would like the field that I was preparing myself to go into. I would rather know the good, bad, and the ugly, for it is the best description of something no beating around the bush, or hiding behind a fog of lies and …show more content…

This research has showed me many things including the value of research. Without the internet books and people to research then I would have went blindly into my future which is not exactly a favorable way to do things. I am glad that I have learned more about a possible outcome of my life. I now know that Engineering is right for me. I have the skillset, the interest, and the opportunity. Success is 90% preparation and 10% opportunity. I now feel that have prepared myself for future success by the preparation I have made these past few weeks. I believe I have now seen Industrial Engineering for what it truly is; the good, the bad, and the

    Personal Narrative: My Childhood Education

    I was ten years ago and I can still vividly remember sitting on an old, wooden rocking chair while the words of The Very Hungry Caterpillar trembled off my lips to a room full of second graders. I can recall the eagerness and excitement that filled their little faces as I flipped from page to page. There was an abundance of curiosity and desire to learn in that classroom that made me happy that I decided on skipping recess to read to the younger students. There was a fire that lit in my ten-year-old body that day. That was the day where I finally had an answer to all the “What do you want to be when you grow up?”…

    Color Guard Research Paper

    The question of our childhood seemed to be one that we can all recall: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Typically, we would say things like, “I want to be an astronaut,” or, “I want to be a princess.” As kids, we think big; however, as we get older, we figure that these aspirations to be a ballerina, to be the president, become more farfetched. Instead, we set more day-to-day based goals. Our goals change all the time.…

    Chick-Fil-A Personal Statement

    When I was little, I wanted to be a chemist. I imagined myself in the lab coat and with goggles on, carefully pouring electric blue liquids and jade green foam back and forth into various containers, until something had exploded and I had discovered the best way to make flowers the size of people. As I grew up, I lost this fantasy, but I gained more knowledge on how I wanted to influence the world. Funnily enough, I discovered what I really wanted to do when I started working at Chick-fil-A during the summer before my sophomore year. All of my friends had warned me against working in fast food, quoting horrible smells and ridiculous customers and tons of grease.…

    Interest In Economics Personal Statement

    My interest in economics was developed since I was a child. I was given birth in a “financial family”; my parents’ works were all related to economics. Therefore, since I was young, I had the opportunity to observe and understand the financial work. In middle school, when my parents discussed economic events, I did not feel bored. To the contrary, I listened carefully and even made efforts to express personal opinions.…
