Undergraduate / Physics, astronomy and human exploration - Interests in Aerospace Engineering [3]
Hello,
I'm currently attending a community college and looking to transfer to Georgia Tech. I've never been a strong writer so any advice on this admission essay would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! Theres a 2000 character limit and as it is right now it's at 1999. The topic is what are my interests within my selected program of study (Aerospace Engineering).
Panting and out of breath, I reached the top of Camelback Mountain. Scottsdale and Phoenix looked incredibly small as I gazed from the mountaintop. Although my eyes were looking down on the ant-sized people, my mind was looking to the sky for an even greater perspective. I wondered to myself the significance of the human race outside our world. I'll never forget that feeling because at this moment my curiosity in the universe arose which led to my three main interests within Aerospace Engineering. The first of which would be physics. Just the thought that you can describe a great portion of the known universe through concepts and mathematical equations is astonishing. It's quite intriguing how more questions often seem to arise through discoveries within physics. I enjoy keeping updated on current findings by reading recent articles in physics as well as astronomy, which is my second interest in Aerospace Engineering. Neil deGrasse Tysons' Death by Black Hole was the first astronomy book I read and it changed the way I looked at the universe. I eagerly purchased a telescope to see what I've been learning about. Just outside my stepfather's Wisconsin summerhouse there're truly dark skies; you can see the beautiful Milky Way stretch from the horizon. The first night seeing the magnificent planet Jupiter was beyond fascinating. Human exploration, my third interest, has always been an interest of mine but after observing celestial objects within our universe with my own eyes, it became a dream. It may be designing a thruster on a space probe or physically exploring as an astronaut but being any part in the history of human exploration would be the utmost achievement in my life. To accomplish this dream is the backbone to my motivation. I never would've thought simply climbing a mountain would've led to such an incentive. I have confidence to fulfill my personal dream but with my interests in Aerospace Engineering, I'm inspired to help make a difference in the industry.
