Pursuing a career in engineering was a natural fit for me, thanks to my family's influence. Growing up, my parents both teachers instilled in me the love for learning and a strong work ethic. They encouraged me to explore my interests and supported me every step of the way.
My uncle an engineer was a significant role model in my life. l remember being fascinated by the way he solved complex problems. He would often share stories about his projects and l was captivated by the impact his work had on people's lives.
However, l has to admit that l wasn't exactly the best in math especially when it came to high school level., in fact l struggled in those subjects but despite my struggles, l was determined to pursue a career in civil engineering. l was dram to the creative problem-solving aspect of the field and opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives.
As l grew older and joined University, my passion for engineering only grew stronger. l began to see the beauty in the subject even formulas that once intimidated country realized engineering is not about being good at science but about being creative, innovative and willing to take risks.
With my family's support felt confident n my ability to succeed in engineering even when others doubted me, l worked hard through those struggles and eventually pursued a diploma in procurement. My interest was further sparked by a project where l was part of the team which carryout tests for the materials of a construction of a bridge which made me realize about the physics and mathematics behind engineering.it further intensified when l volunteered in the community development projects where I saw the first-hand impact of well-designed infrastructure in people's lives.
Korea's progress and innovative spirit fascinates me especially the rapid transformation from one of the poorest countries with few infrastructures in the 1950s to being the 8th most innovative country in the world while being a member of the International Association For Bridge And Structural Engineering(IABSE).Korea transformed from and agricultural economy country to a high tech manufacturing based economy country for example the Jeju Island smart grid which showcases the dedication to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure ,the Busan-Geoje fixed link which connects Busan to the Geoje island showing Korea's expertise in bridge construction and the Incheon international airport which is a testament of Korea's engineering exceptionality which are some of the many reasons that motivate me to pursue my bachelors in civil engineering in the home to the best civil engineering universities in the world.
My academics quest has been a thrilling adventure, bridging from the foundational walls of st benedict high school ,where l laid the groundwork for my O levels ,to the vibrant corridors of Bugisu high school, where I developed my skills and passions through Alevel.Finally l arrived at the best technical university In Uganda ,international university of east Africa ,where l earned my diploma in civil engineering and unleased full potential .throughout this journey ,l have discovered many hidden strmegths,and it ignited a fire of curiosity that inspired me to drive forward
As I ventured beyond the classroom walls, my passion and skills came together to form a picture of experiences that not only changed my character but also left a mark in the world around me and how l perceive things in the world. From the dusty roads of Busia to the bustling construction sites of Tororo, l immersed myself in a world of hands-on learning, where every brick laid, every beam erected and every bridge built represented a new progress and addition to my construction knowledge and unwavering dedication. Whether volunteering with World Vision WASH project to bring clean water to rural communities, interning at Tororo cement to lay a foundation of a vertical roll mill, or working alongside CRCC 18th group to connect towns through the Busia- Tororo Road, every experience as a thread that joined the narrative of my growth.

The application guidelines ask to use minimum 2 pages but am out of words. I will appreciate your analysis

The essay suffers from a lack of information development. You have to further expand on information about your background and your parent's influence. Since your uncle was a pivotal influence in your desire to become a civil engineer, describe the type of engineer he was and what exposure you gained from him. How did he actually inspire your ambition?

With regards to Korean engineering, you should not repeat information to the reviewer because he is familiar with that information. Instead, envision how you see yourself using Korean engineering in your home country. That way you can use the current information in a manner that shows inspiration rather than just familiarity.

As for your education, try to include information about your accomplishments and publications if any. Remember that you have to be a stand out student somehow since you have already graduated from other courses and are skilled in different areas.

These guidelines should help you achieve the minimum 2 page word count. Just be more open with your writing. Do not limit yourself to superficial information alone.

@Maria22
It effectively conveys your passion and determination in civil engineering, especially in overcoming challenges. It's inspiring and clearly shows your growth. Tightening some sections could enhance its impact even more.
