After deciding what
After deciding what
I didn't realize that playing and teaching these young adolescent minds would soon be the major I would be studying. I’ve chosen lots of areas to study throughout high school, but I’ve always kept changing my mind. For example, I’ve gone from wanting to be a marine biologist all the way from wanting to be an entrepreneur. I never could figure out what my heart…
My Independent Senior Project will educate the sacredness of certain Hindu dwellings. I will create a website on the rituals that occur in these treasured places and also inform people why these places are very holy towards Hindu's. This project will contain two products- a fully researched and documented informational presentation that explains the background of the sanctified environments and rituals that take place. Secondly, I will create a website with pictures and historical information and opinions from Hindu’s who would like to visit. Travel information from certain places to these destinations and flights that will go there.…
When I had to pick a project I had to keep a few things in mind like who do I do it for and what will it be. After thinking I realized I wanted to do something for the Lynchburg Elementary School, because they always help the scouts in the past so I wanted to do something nice for them. From there I had to figure out what I was going to do so that I could have it all approved by the school system. After a few days I finally figured out what I would like to do, I wanted to make a pavilion…
My Project 4 assignment was a category 1 assignment. The category 1 assignments teach the foundational skills for understand the writing disciplines. The purpose is to increase the skills and read carefully, so no important information is left out. I completed the Report in Writing in the Field Assignment. The assignment for this project I had to use both primary and secondary sources to compose a report on that profession.…
I will now be a sophomore and I still have no clue on the degree path I want to follow. I feel that to make that decision in choosing a major, I need exposure to different career paths and job options because im interested in so many things, but this is because im not completely familiar with all these major options. Which the textbook perfectly outlines “entering students have only a vague idea of what a major entails” (?????). So entering undecided was the option for me. Having too many interest is exactly why I am still undecided…
How My Community College has Changed My Life Growing up everyone emphasized how important it was and still is to further education after high school. I always kept this in the back of my mind, but never knew how I would be able to afford college. Researching different schools I realized tuition would cost more than I had saved up. I’ve been saving for higher education for quite some time actually.…
As the senior project comes to an end, I am truly excited about the benefit my influence has had on the community. My senior project was just another step to the legacy that I have implemented in Warren County. Thinking back to freshman year, senior project seemed so boring and far away. I never would have imagined the progress and success I've had with my senior project. My interest has stayed the same but I wouldn't think that I would have County Commissioners and a House of Representative present at my event.…
Since the first day, time has been flying really fast. Starting a fresh new day, meeting the same teachers and same old friends, I still cannot imagine that I am now a senior! In my senior year, there will definitely be a lot of challenges and obstacles for me to conquer, but I believe that as long as I do everything step by step, I can beat down the difficulties in this senior year. When I was in junior year, I often heard last year’s seniors told me how hard is it to come up with a senior project topic, and they kept on reminding me to start thinking of my topic and finding my mentors. Luckily, I had research method class last year, so I knew how to do my APA style references and I had many presentations experiences last year.…
The last time I answered this question was the first time I considered that the construction industry had impacted my life and I looked at it quite superficially. I remembered growing up walking through offices or warehouses, seeing pictures of my dad breaking ground on new jobs, and listening to his excitement as we drove by what looked to me like another large building that he excitedly told me his company had built. But aside from the things that I saw as a child, the construction industry has impacted my life in more ways than I ever realized. The construction industry accounted for the entirety of my family’s income for almost all of my life.…
When considering a career in construction technology, the person must consider the working conditions such as diversity, bonuses, environment, etc., but just as important is to get the right training. One of the good things of this career is that there is always demand for…
I decided to major in architecture when I was an emerging junior in high school. I came to this conclusion when seeking out my profession during freshman year in a career class. The class performed familiar assignments I did during middle school: fill out various surveys, do online career matchmaking, and try and find a career that fits he/her personality. The arts and math and are my two major talents that I excel as well as like, and I want to further my skills in both of them. Becoming an architecture serves both my needs that my former choices did not.…
This could make it hard to set a goal because your plans will constantly keep changing. This is where setting goals will help you. Setting goals will allow you to experiment in the world and see what you like to do and what you will want to study and get a career in. I was in the same boat a few years ago. I didn 't know if I wanted to be an architect, game developer, web designer or a computer programmer.…
The gap between the situation that I was in and the situation that I wanted to be in was the specific occupation. I had an idea on the field of study, but selecting a specific program for post-graduate studies was the part that I was unsure on. I am in 3B coop Kinesiology, and I have one year before I have to decide on a job or post-graduate study. There are so many occupations that interested me and I was nervous on choosing just one specific path. My friends who are not in coop all decided their majors and I felt the pressure to decide as well.…
My career aspirations and enthusiasm toward Construction and Project Management have been highly influenced by my undergraduate study majoring in Civil Engineering. The undergraduate curriculum in Civil Engineering at NIT-Surat introduced me to a wide spectrum of subjects. But it was the field of Construction planning & Project Management which captured my interest and since then, I have started taking interest in this field. Later on I came to realize that to become an efficient & capable project manager in the Construction Industry, I should undertake training in individual areas construction world lacking in their academic background and maintain a equilibrium between all the necessary knowledge and technical skills which led me to pursue Masters in Civil Engineering in the area of Construction and Project Management at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver which is the center of excellence to study Construction and Project Management in the globe. During my study of Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering at the Sardar Patel National Institute of Technology, an Institute of National Importance declared by the Government of India in the field of Engineering and Technology, I understood that the roots of twentieth century project management are generally accepted as lying in…
What makes a civil engineer different than any of the many other branches of engineering? Well it is certain that all branches of engineering must have a proficient understanding of math, science and technology in order to succeed (Georgia Tech, “What is Engineering”). Civil engineers however must be able to take the knowledge from these three areas and apply to create or enhance public works. A public work is nearly every type of transportation and transportation center, including space stations and jets, as well as dams, waterways, bridges and most buildings (ASCE, “What is Civil Engineering?’). The discipline of civil engineering focuses on public works which is different than engineers in general who are building many different things, but not specifically public works.…
