What drives you to study engineering in college? For instance, you can describe activities you have participated in that sparked your interest in engineering, explain why you want to pursue a career in engineering or share an engineering concept that you find fascinating.
Ctrl + n and I were best friends, she let me hide my movie browsers as I "attended" class, Geometry was never fun anyway during quarantine. It led me to understand how computers work and the possibilities that come with them. Coding my first website was possibly the inspiration I needed to see the things knowledge can create. It established a level of trust between me and the knowledge I possess, further motivating me to learn to create and harbor new ideas. As a diabetic, I was lucky to leave Ethiopia, the rest not so much. What is already a 24/7 monitor and overwatch of my diabetes, only one can imagine life there. Thus the people I see there motivate me to help my brothers and sisters currently helpless with medication and available medical equipment. One engineering concept I find fascinating is Quantum Computing, as Quantum bits can exist in multiple states, and image the possibilities. Already it seems to me the biomedical advancements like the Dexcom I wear myself improve people's lives, and quantum computing can open new doors in better computing and research toward diabetes research.
