I can recall my recent summer when I challenged myself to do tremendous work. Looking back to my previous summers, the mundane experience encouraged me to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work on my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read books during the night, and study for the S.A.T.

One example is, “ According to Plutarch (c. 46–119 C.E.), Archimedes had so low an opinion of the kind of practical invention at which he excelled and to which he owed his contemporary fame that he left no written work on such subjects.” From this, you could conclude Archimedes was humble because he wasn't bragging or boasting about his intellect by writing about his works, like many mathematicians…

In my career, I have used my milling science degree to start as a miller. Although I started at an entry-level position, I quickly rose up to management and research positions.

Also applying what I learned In my CAD Flow Sheets for Grain Processes class, I was able to offer more suggestions on how to lay out a plant more effectively. By doing these, the cost of production was reduced for the…
