Undergraduate / MIT EECS - I will be able to become just like the innovators that I look up to. [8]

Yes, the word limit is 100 words. Do you think it needs any kind of change to spice it up? Thank you so much for the insightful help!!!

Undergraduate / MIT EECS - I will be able to become just like the innovators that I look up to. [8]

Ever since I watched Steve Jobs' movie, I became so engrossed in these complex circuit boards that can make practically any device. So began my dreams of becoming an Electrical Engineer, where I would build my own. Many engineers I've met ever since cannot apply their college education into actually making things like devices, or programs. I began growing discouraged, and started thinking of other majors until I came across MIT's EECS program. I found a curriculum unlike most, that focuses not on just learning, but also on the application of algorithms and theories into making devices. I found students innovating video games, programs and robots. Ever since, I've been dreaming of being at such an environment, where I will be given these remarkable opportunities to get a hands-on experience.

I kind of mixed the first and second, what do you think? :D

Many engineers I've met cannot apply their college education into actually making things like devices, or programs. Growing up, I always had thought engineering as a combination of math and science, and frowned as I was more interested in creating something. After coming across MIT's EECS program, I found a curriculum unlike most, that focuses on students being taught how to apply their use of algorithms and circuits into making devices, instead of just knowing what it is. Under the supervision of the world's greatest researchers and a great UROP faculty, students at MIT are given endless opportunities to build robots, designing video games, and make their own devices. I want to be at an environment, where I am given these remarkable opportunities to get a hands-on experience, and create something of my own.

Okay so here's a rewrite, I think some aspects of it can be written in a more interesting way, but it pretty much sums up my interest in their importance of application. The word limit is 100, mine's 134, but they aren't that strict on the limit, so I don't think that would be a big issue.
