Hi...I'm sorry for posting another essay...but i need some advice and help with editing it--mechanically and whether or not it answers the question. THANK YOU!!!
Describe your intellectual interests, their evolution, and what makes them exciting to you. Tell us how you will utilize the academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences to further explore your interests, intended major, or field of study.
The red light began beeping indefinitely. The tweezers kept bordering the silver lining with no effort on their part to terminate the annoying sound of losing. The light beeped again reflecting the frustration the tweezers felt. Although the focus had wavered, they continued, they returned for the organs making the beeping subside. Operation was only a game, but I learned a valuable lesson from the incensing beeping it made.
Though the beeping sound seemed useless to a young child, it became extremely prevalent in my life as a young adult. As a child, I worked at the game until I was able to pull each organ without touching the sensors. I would attempt the game every day, soon becoming tolerant of the screaming beeps, and eventually I was able to succeed. Since I played that game, I have done nothing but work to my fullest potential each day.
The game was a reference for my inspiration, it taught me to work hard so I can succeed. As school progressed, and homework increased, I noticed something different. I was putting much more effort into my work; I began thinking of my future and what I wanted to do. From enjoying television, candy and toys, I began pondering the world of science and mathematics. Not only did my academic interests become more prevalent I also began changing my perspective on my extracurricular activities. It was like playing Operation all over again. I worked and worked until my form was perfected and like the game, the "lights" of success never disappeared.
My hard work and my love for the sciences never disappeared as well; both brought me so many opportunities and without either I would not have become the person I am today. The work that brought me closer to my dreams allowed me to enter into a research program that would permit me to expand my passion for medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. There I learned of the minute details of working as a doctor, compiling research projects, and discovering how time consuming the career is, but despite that I continued to work harder, I continued to crave my dream even more.
Now, as a senior, I look forward to attend the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University for a chance to quench my thirst for knowledge. With its prestigious biology and undergraduate research programs, I believe that Cornell University will enable me indulge in learning about everything possible.
