    My interest in physics was initially ignited during my sophomore year. I signed up for AP Physics 1, taught by a teacher in his first year, right out of college.

I was eager to learn as much as I could; in doing so, I realized that working in a laboratory setting, conducting experiments and applying equations, is something that I am truly passionate about.…

Every time a finger presses down on a key, it generates a slightly different sound, and the interval between each tap is distinct as well. Together, all those finger tapping make an inconsistent, disordered noise, yet this is the sound that calms my mind the most. The typing sound reminds me the day I moved to the U.S., where I was utterly stunned by the view of this land of technological innovations.…

    I was contacted by my old coding teacher and received the opportunity to assist her in leading this year’s coding program. Although I knew I wasn't the best at coding, I saw this offer as a chance for me to learn more about it while sharing the little that I knew with others. During last year's program I got the opportunity to create my own games/programs/apps, and I learned more about JavaScript and its role in businesses. With this information I realized that knowing at least basic code is necessary in this day in age, especially if one was to pursue a career in a field of or relating to technology. At first, I was surprised to see that many of the students who attended this year’s coding program were around my age…

    The clouds broke, and light began to shine through the large, curtainless, loft-style windows flanking a four-hundred-square-foot apartment containing only a bed, a faded purple sofa, a birch-coloured dinner table, and a single chair.

I sat down and opened a laptop bought off of Craigslist. The operating system was old, and it took roughly five minutes to open an Excel spreadsheet containing financials.…
