Scholarship / Educational goals and a leadership experience in high school - I am someone who the team can lean on [7]

I don't really know about how to express 2 subjects and my feeling within 2-3 paragraphs, I think I skip the beginning and conclusion, so I really want to know if it's okay without those two important parts. I have just lived in the U.S for 2 years so please tell me everything I should fix because my English is not so great.

Write a short essay describing in 2-3 paragraphs a significant leadership experience in high school and your educational goals after high school

I was born and raised in Vietnam, a small, crowded country in Asia. I remembered myself when I was a child: a little boy who loved Mathematics and wanted to be an Engineer or an Architect since I didn't know the difference between them, as long as they had Math in it. I am fascinated by how everything around us works properly and how humans can control the power of nature. I used to read a special page about science and technology that was only published every Sunday on a newspaper my father usually bought, and opened my little mind through those innovations, inventions, predictions, or even ideas, such as an asteroid might hit the Earth in 2036, 3D Printing, Robotics... After reading a piece of information, I have a dozen more questions to ask. The curiosity of a boy about some new technologies or mysteries that couldn't be solved by scientists was growing in my mind during my childhood. Physics becomes my favorite subject, because it's so close to the reality, I can have so many explanations for those simple things are right around us. And then the electric power impresses me the most: a power can be created by humans, one of the most important inventions that significantly change our life, and has limitless applications, so the demand and the potential of this power are also limitless. Therefore I found a direction that I can put my heart into: becoming an Electrical Engineer to innovate the electric power more and more, make it safer and more efficient, and from that basement, the humanity technology will be improved and more mystery will have the answer in the future.

The time of two years living in the United States, the land of opportunity, encourages my dream even more. My first step is obtaining Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree to have the overall view of what I am going to work on in the future. My goal is designing a system that can minimize the power loss or even recycle the power itself. My insane idea is based on the 1st Newton Law. Besides, an eco-friendly house system is something I have thought of. I hope to work with some talent people who share the same dream of me to develop a complete "Smart House" system that can make us feel more comfortable, convenient, and even closer to the nature right inside the house. To me, protecting and improving the environment will be the top priority. I am fascinated by the solar power system, and I hope to help bringing it to every corner around the world.

Throughout the journey of learning, I have hardly-ever been considered a perfect leader who can make all the decision easily, but my teachers often give me a position a little lower than that because I am someone who the team can lean on. The leadership experience I have learnt the most is a position during my freshman year. In Vietnam, we have a different educational system that we all study the same subjects in a class of 40 people in the average. My teacher was one of the best teacher at the school, and she wanted all of us to follow a system of rule just like a company. I was the only male of 12 people she appointed. My responsibility was aligning class before and after school or the school break, assigning and supervising classmates to clean up the class every day and clean up the class backyard every week, leading the school events, and keeping the class in order during class time. I tried to be a good role model for my classmates to follow, such as coming to class early to organize the desks, being the last person leaves the class after checking everything, and actively taking part in school events. It was hard to order my friends sometimes, so I tried to be fair to everyone, rarely made decisions using my own opinion, and at the same time, I tried to be friendly to all of them. I really enjoyed the moment of my class was called for getting the first rank over 23 classes over the week, and It usually happened. That year was a successful year for all of us, because we saw our efforts were rewarded. It taught me how to be responsible for myself and how to gain the others' trust. I was so proud of being a part of our achievement.
