Hey! Could you please go over my supplement questions for Bucknell? If you want me to check your essay, please feel free to leave a link and I will gladly help you! :) Thanks!
Please explain why you are interested in this major/undecided status:
Despite my difficulty drawing anything that involves skills other than ruler-using, I find Art bewitching because of its ability to see the nonexistent and its limitless capacity. I have chosen engineering precisely because it satisfies my craving for logic and allows me access to artistic fulfillment. The engineer participates in all processes of creation - from the idea, to the plan, to the execution - and, like a blacksmith, forges Science and Art into a single tool setting off to change the world. I see the engineer as a multidimensional being who studies reason, but perceives the potential outside his box. Because of this versatility, they develop into leaders of areas ranging from industry all the way to government. What I hope is to one day be that ingenious.
What are the three most important things Bucknell's faculty and students should know about you? (up to 200 words each / 1400 characters)
I think that I need a lot of help with this one. Especially with grammar and punctuation. Thanks
I consider myself to be a 'Why-Guy'. Basically, if you've ever met one of those annoying kids who are never satisfied with an answer and repetitively ask you 'why this' and 'why that', you have met someone pretty similar to me. I am never ever pleased with an explanation even if it is a thorough as it can be. If I ask you, "why is the sky blue?" and you meticulously start explaining me all about the Rayleigh scattering and how the blue light is absorbed by the gas molecules and scattered because it has a short wavelength, I will understand what your clarification despite its complexity. However, there always seems to be something missing - at least, for me. "Why is there blue light?" And, of course, you will start talking about the visible spectrum and how the human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 380 to 750 nm which includes the color blue with a wavelength ranging from 450-495nm. But, it still does not elucidate me on "why can we only see colors with certain wavelengths?" And, as you have perceived, this will go on and on until it's time to go to bed. Unfortunately, the sun will rise once again and I'll either continue with my 'blue-sky-questions' or I'll just start off the day with a fresh inquiry: "Why am I so curious?" The worst part will be finding someone who can actually solve this enigma.

I broke Coyote's record for the number of times an animal has chased the Road Runner. I was the one who convinced Al Gore that global warming was a pressing issue. I have single-handedly pulled three strings together from a rope bridge after it snapped and managed to save twelve Asian children from the town of Nanxun. I have solved the Rubik's Cube just by looking at it. I am internationally famous for cheering up the deaf with inspirational speeches. I am the one who led the Hebrew people out of Egypt and parted the Red Sea, even though Moses got all the credit. What I am trying to say is that if I was to define myself using a single, twelve-lettered, hyphenated adjective I would have say 'high-spirited' - not only because it's the only word I can think of that adheres to the requirements, but also because it suits me appropriately. I sometimes think that if science and engineering did not exist - how cruel would such a world be - I would have majored in clowning. My entertainment skills are extensive and, aside from hyperbolic statements, I am an expert at silly faces. I was hoping to attach photo of my tongue reaching into my nostrils, but I decided to play it safe this time.
