Undergraduate / 'Engineering and Ping Pong' - Georgia Tech Short Essay [3]

Here's my first short essay for Georgia Tech. Tell me anything that is wrong with it.

Here is the prompt:
Short Essay: Why are you interested in attending Georgia Tech and what do you hope to contribute to our community?

Becoming an engineer has always been my dream. When I was little, my parents took me to the Boeing Museum in Seattle. I was fascinated with the number of calculations and the amount of work these engineers have put to design the most ideal airplane of all. Also, I visited the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino where I was even more fascinated with the development of the iPhone and that it is a symbol of a technologically advanced world. By attending Georgia Tech, I am one step closer to fulfilling my dream of making the world even more technologically advanced. Along with the engineer dream, I want to spread my love for table tennis and prove my abilities as a top-ranked player. I'm not that player who likes to joke around on a Friday night, slapping a ball around with friends who don't acknowledge table tennis as a sport, calling it "ping pong". I'm a serious contender for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, and I want to prove that table tennis is a real sport, not just a fun pastime.
