Undergraduate / "used to sharing my room" - Stanford : message to roommate [2]

my English is not that good it is a second language but i want this to be good so please be critical .

I am always used to sharing my room. Living with five other siblings three of them in which I share my room with. I have grown to share not just my things but friendship, brotherhood, and being benevolent.

I consider people who I share my resting place with not just mere friends, but actual brothers who I can trust and count on.

I shared my room with countless people. I have lived in Academy's and Summer programs . Spending months with people who I am proud to call my brothers.

My father once told me " you can loss or gain friends, but you can never replace a brother". And I do not consider you as a friend. So let's get into the introduction already huh?

Alsalam alaikom! This means "Hello " in Arabic. Kaif halik ya akhi !( How are you bro!)? if where going to be living for a full year, then I feel that there are few things about myself I should tell you. I play allot of sports as a result I eat allot. I enjoy cooking , don't worry I will make you taste my famous kabsah which is a Middle Eastern dish. I also love to read, but don't worry I am used to allot of noise seeing that I live with five siblings, so if you want to turn on the music I am fine with It.

I have no problem with you keeping me up until 3 AM while you get ready for a test. In fact if you need help then I will gladly stay up with you if needed.

I am kind of a dork and I own allot of electronic devices, don't worry they wont be scattered all around, I promise they will be only on my side of the room hah.

Lastly, I will do my best to be obliged, for I am known for my fidelity. I figured where going to live together for the whole year we might as well get to know each other.

I can't wait to meet you, good look with your final year.
Sincerely,
Your roommate and brother, Saud Mohammed Altamimi

Undergraduate / Watching sparks fly, something you do for the pleasure of it short question (MIT) [2]

My English might be the worst you see on this website so be ready . BTW its not my first langauge and i dont speak it that often .

....
Watching sparks fly, not exactly the right answer let me elaborate , when I was a chilled I used to play around with circuits and some times make wrong connections which makes some sparks. As I grew up I know play with cables and sometime tweak connection is my house, I also play around with my brothers car connections. When sparks fly I know that that the circuits is working and this give me the joy because I know that it is alive with energy. Its like knowing that blood still bumps in somebody body and he is alive. When I see that my circuit is alive this gives me great pleasure.

I might seem like a normal kid, with unconnected facts and talents, this essay is intended to connect the dots and stick every thing together in the past essays

The Human race is immortal: we've invaded space ,crossed seas , demolished entire mountains, turned night into day, we've turned sea water into drinking water, we've given life to barrens wastes, and taken it away from luscious lands, Which no other species can. Man is truly a unique creature, no wonder God asked Satan to bow down to Adam. But what makes us most different is our ingenuity and creativity. We create in order to survive. We create our own environment to match our needs

This creativity is what makes us the dominant species. This trait, unique to us, leads some to become engineers and others to become scientists. Those who become engineers create, while the scientists study that which has been created.

I choose to become an engineer because I want to create. I want to change the world around me. I come from a country in the Middle East where water is scarce, temperatures reach 52 degrees Celsius, plain sand cover most of the land. Although most people might consider my country; the Kingdome of Saudi Arabia, to be a barren wasteland, Saudi Arabia is one of the most important places on Earth. Containing 30% of the entire worlds' oil reserves, Saudi Arabia is one of the leading energy producers in the world. However we cannot drink oil; water is scarce, our unemployment rate is above 30%, and beggars roam the streets. Saudi Arabia with all its might and potential is a third world country. The only thing we are good at is burning oil. But already kids in my district suffer from breathing problems because the water distillation factories that are nearby; Pumping CO2 in the air, and above all Saudi Arabia lack's the green that acts as a natural filter to clean the air. We are already facing drought and climate changes.

The world is changing, bit by bit; mankind has finally realized that it is time to change its ways of producing energy. As a result the world is shifting its energy resources to more renewable energy, such as wind, hydro, and nuclear fusion.

I feel that my country also needs to embrace green energy in order to move forward. To me, my country is not a mere empty desert but rather a goldmine for energy. Geographically speaking, Saudi Arabia receives some of the most energy from the sun. With so little cloud cover, and so close to the equator, it is the perfect environment to produce solar energy. In fact if Saudi Arabia utilized its full solar potential, we could produce 14TWof electricity on a daily basis. This extraordinary amount of energy is more than enough to meet the worlds demand for energy..

I feel that I have the potential to do it .Ever since I was a child I explored the world around me. I played with small bugs and insects , I was most interested in how things worked and how these manmade objects helped benefit our lives .I was most interested in electronic devices taking toys apart, which pulled me into the field of electronics and electrical engineering.

My love for electrical engineering started when the internet first entered Saudi Arabia in 2001. My dad bought my older brother his first computer in 2005; since we do not have public libraries in many parts of Saudi Arabia, and we didn't have one in Jeddah my hometown, I spent most of my time on the computer exploring the world from a screen. My love for computers grew as I did, and I became more interested in how the hard ware worked I began playing around with circuitry; later I harbored an interest in and programming microcontrollers.

I was always different from my five other siblings, I was a middle childe being always neglected, my parents attention was mostly on my older siblings for being the first born and the younger ones for needing more attention. I was barley even part of the picture; As a result I was pushed into reading to fill my free time. I was always different from kids at school I was unique, but being unique in my community doesn't make you special it just makes you easier to being pointed out. For instance when I was a child, I sometimes talk about what I saw on Animal plant and my peers would talk about what the scores in the match where in the night before. hence this made me different and the kids in my community made fun of me pushed me around and some time beat me up, although I never won a fight I always kept my head high, knowing that someday things well be different.

My dream is to be the founder and CEO of the largest energy producing company not just in my region, but throughout the world .Since my country has the potential, my goal is not just to help improve my country, but to improve energy production methods and help the world as a whole.
