Exploration, encounter, exchange. When I heard of the theme for this year’s history day competition, I knew immediately that Lewis and Clark would be the ideal project. I have always been interested in Lewis and Clark’s monumental discoveries as well as what their journey was like. Exploration encounter and exchange, being vital during their journey showed I would have a well rounded topic for researching. I started my research with background information. I had minimal knowledge of Lewis…
worked on research projects spanning topics from social structures to courtship behavior and migration, and I have found my main area of interest to be social behaviors. Hands-on experience is crucial for anyone pursuing or interested in pursuing a graduate degree and a career in field research, and I believe my diverse research experiences have prepared me to be a successful candidate fuck this sentence idk it sounds bad. Through my work as a field volunteer on a tree swallow project run by…
Attending college has become a vital factor to be successful in American society. Since pregnancy, parents start creating a plan so that they will save enough money to afford sending their kids to college. Higher education is the cornerstone for obtaining a better quality of life in which basic and self-actualization needs are met. Every year the number of people attending college increases. In fact, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), during fall of 2016, about…
Last summer, I was an undergraduate researcher at UNT’s CASCaM. There, I delved into the mind-boggling world of quantum modeling, molding chemical structures like a child would Play-Doh. But I was far beyond the comfort of the classroom – I was in a completely unfamiliar environment, faced with an ocean of alien names, figures, and concepts. I loved it. As I modeled catalysts in lab, I scoured the web at home, filling my browser with papers and Wikipedia articles. Each question sprouted two…
I am one of these people who give the wrong first impression to people. When I meet new people they assume that I am in some sort of creative field by the way I dress up. However, once they find out that I have studied Power Networks and Systems Engineering for four years back in Russia and just recently graduated in Finance and Investments from Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business they are pleasantly astonished. Nevertheless, people are not too far from the truth. Growing up, I have…
about what kind of field work she is pursing at Sage and if she had any doubts or changes along the way. Her response is similar to what mine was when I first started my college search- “I don’t know what I want to do I just want to go into the medical field”. She ended up picking the academic study of the BS in biology with a concentration in premed, but recently she has switched to the BA in biology keeping the premed studies. The next question I asked her was…
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is my top choice school for many reasons, one being the sophisticated engineering program that is offered. Not only is UW Madison’s College of Engineering among the top engineering programs offered in the nation, it also offers many research opportunities. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is renowned for its wide range of research opportunities and its focus on research, which reflects the mission statement of the UW Madison College of Engineering, which…
When I am done with high school I want to go to college at Moscow because that college I heard parties a lot and Zach will be there so it will be fun because he will have a Lamborghini and I want to live on a mountain so I can see everything around me for miles nothing but trees around me to so that it looks very green and a water fall that comes out of the mountain so it looks like I have a cool pool at the bottom. I want to live in Idaho still but closer next to the mountain so I can ride…
paralyzing fear and sends people into a tailspin of depression and anxiety or prevents them from pursuing their dreams because they think someone will discover that they are a fraud and kick them out of their program. Imposter syndrome appears in graduate school…
At Davidson, I want a deeper understanding of economic phenomena and training in rigorous reasoning skills to be able to study social policy issues. I want to explore the many research opportunities available at Davidson college. One of the projects done recently “A Theoretical Analysis of Behaviour with Reciprocity and Fairness Concerns”, excited me as, presumably, it assumes human behaviour in the Rawlsian sense as opposed to in the Hobbesian self-interested sense. Along with my economics…
