Research Papers / Why Freemason's added to the Design of the Dollar Bill [7]

Okay hello!

I'm writing a research paper on the design of the dollar bill, and focusing on how the Freemason's added to the design.
It is well known that the Mason's added symbols to the current design of the dollar bill. My question is WHY did they do that? Why did they add this symbolism? This is what I would like to focus on and with all my research I can't really seem to find anything on why... Just that they did add symbols. Could anyone help me with this topic in anyway?

Sincerely

I used the diverse programs and classes offered at my high school to narrow my academic interests to a single, apparent category. I came to find that I love computers. The incorporation of my two favorite subjects, math and science, fascinates me, and it creates challenges that I love. There is a certain type of excitement that comes with computers that creates in infatuation.

The prestigious and world renowned programs and professors that Brown University is known for will help craft those infatuations into something more. To craft these infatuations I will need more then an average education, and Brown University will craft my interests into lifelong passions.

I have been influenced by the tremendous opportunities Brown has to offer. The distinguished professors and eminent programs present me an immeasurable amount of opportunities. I look forward to to using Brown's distinguished programs and eminent professors to change my infatuations into something more, into a love and a career that I will be paid for what I love doing.

Okay so basically this is a short answer supplemental for Brown. I have put a few sentences of my other essays together. Do you think it hits the prompt? Are there any mistakes? Do you have any suggestions for grammar, structure, or anything else?? All help would greatly be appreciated! =)

Also, I added that last long sentence in just because I was at about 820 characters, but I'm not sure if it adds to the essay.. If it makes sense.. or if i should keep it.. Let me know what you think!!!

Undergraduate / Brown University Supplemental: Influence or Inspiration [2]

Prompt: Tell us about an intellectual experience, project, class, or book that ha sinfluenced or inspired you.
(500 Word)

I came into high school thinking I would use the diverse programs and classes offered to narrow down my academic interests into a single apparent category. I came to find that the narrowing down was not occurring, but more the opposite. I found that a computer careers class added fuel to my computer and electrical interests. The class that intrigued me the most, though, was Advanced Placement Physics. Not only did I learn how interesting it was combing the intriguing approaches of math with the compelling concepts of sciences, but the class introduced me to a classroom full of students who shared a passion for learning and success similar to mine. AP Physics, I found, narrowed this undecidedness to a more discernible, distinct category.

Beginning with the first day of class, AP Physics surrounded me with students that set the highest standards for themselves much like I do. The class forced me to be the best I can be not only because of the rigorous academic challenges, but because of the group of students around me, and the family like atmosphere that our teacher created for us. The comradery that was created between the like-minded young adult students was encouraging and uplifting in tough times. Walking through the door, sixth period every other day, I instantly became inspired to learn and understand. The inspiration in this class quickly escaped the doors of room 811 and entered every class I was in, from AP English Language and Composition to Economy. The inspiration even found its way to my house, when it came to computers. Because of this beneficial science class, with its benevolent teacher and invigorating students, I have become inspired and influenced to be the best I can do, set the highest standards for myself, and put myself in the best situations to succeed.

I am only at 310 words. I think I need to add more, but i'm not too sure what to add. Any suggestions? How is the grammar? Does the essay actually make sense? Any advice would be GREAT

Undergraduate / Brown Supplement: First Part of Engineering Supplemental [7]

Prompt: Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to an interest in the field of Engineering?

My Grandpa was a computer engineer. He worked for Northrop Aircraft developing the B-2 Bomber. Studying computer science and programming, he taught himself the technology used in both hardware and software.

In seventh grade I was intrigued by computers for the first time. My grandfather decided to help me assemble a computer for that Christmas. He had me do all the research on components, only giving me necessary advice from time-to-time. Having finished the first step, I began to assemble the components together. Instead of telling me specifically what to do, he only walked me through each step. He gave me the advice I needed, and counseled me. Because of his encouragement, I was able to install the CPU, even being nervous. However, a few months after our completion of the project, he passed away. Even though this devastated me for weeks, I clearly understood that my grandpa wanted me to be strong and achieve more in this field. This is exactly what I have done now. He tried his best to inspire me to understand computers. Now, this inspiration has turned into a love for computers.

It just does not seem very well written to me! does anyone have some advice on putting what I mean into more of an understandable essay? or any grammar issues or anything!

Any advice would be helpful =)

_________

I came into high school thinking I would use the copious programs and classes offered to narrow my academic interests to a single, apparent category. I came to find that the narrowing down was not occurring, but more of the opposite. I found that a Computer Careers class added fuel to my computer and electrical interests. Advanced placement physics showed me how interesting it was combining the intriguing approaches of math with the compelling concepts of sciences. Advanced placement English introduced me to a classroom full of students who shared a passion for learning and success similar to mine. I find myself intrigued and undecided.

One of my first memories in school is telling my first grade teacher, Mrs. Duffy, that I would one day invent the money-tree. This led to a strong interest in math. I have always loved money and numbers. Around the holidays I can remember carrying around a money box to organize all of my money, and in my eyes keep it safe. This love for math transferred towards science in my sophomore year with chemistry. I enjoyed the integration of math with science, especially when I studied stoichiometry. This enjoyment sparked a new found passion into this unknown world of science. Due to these interests, I began learning more and more about computers, and became hooked. They incorporated a lot of what I have a passion for, and it creates challenges that I love. The challenges in computers, and in all of my academic interests are what make me strive to succeed and be my best. There is a certain excitement that comes with computers that creates an infatuation. The prestigious and world renowned programs and professors that Cornell University is known for will help craft those infatuations into something more. A class like "Computing in the Arts" may change my infatuation in computers to a profession in computing, while other classes like "Macroeconomics" may shift my infatuations into a profession involving income and/or the economy of the nation. These programs will give me an immeasurable amount of opportunities.

The word Undecided best fits me. I am not undecided on what I would like to do and achieve, but I am undecided on how I will go about achieving these things. For this I will need more than an average education. Prestigious programs like Cornell's can, I believe, open these realms of possibilities and craft my interests into lifelong passions. I look forward to using Cornell's distinguished programs and eminent professors to change me, from undecided to something more captivating. The programs in Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences will certainly guide me towards a decided passion.
