I had to write a creative essay and present it to the class. I chose to do it on my favorite class engineering. This is basically a skeleton of my essay. it's just the rough draft. i know i need transitions etc but if i would presenting this to a class orally how do you think they would respond. thanks p.s. some stuff is repeated because i was working out different ways to write parts.
Of all my classes or clubs engineering I my favorite part of the day. One reason I like it is because I feel that I have an engineer's state of mind. Ever since I was little I was less interested in playing with my toys and more interested with taking them apart. My brother wasn't always happy with this because I would also destroy his toys trying to figure how they worked. If you could just imagine the scene of me screwdriver in hand taking apart a toy airplane
I am the type of person who would look at a car and the first thing I would be concerned with is not the sleek exterior design or the cool luxury features on the inside but the engine. I would be asking myself questions like how does it go that fast and how can I make it faster.
I signed up for engineering for my tenth grade year. I was expecting that it was going to be textbook oriented and that we were going to be learning from our teacher everyday. I was way off because we had to learn everything by ourselves. I don't think that our teacher knew what to do because he had various for dummies books behind him for engineering and Rhino, which is a program that we use to make 3-d models. If we ever had a question about how to use it for our projects he would talk down to us like we were stupid. I learned this early on as I saw my friends self confidence hit a low for the day after talking to him. We would often argue from then on who should ask him a question when we had group projects.
I had initially thought that engineering was going to suck. Despite all this engineering turned out to be my favorite class. Without a teacher I learned how to use Rhino by myself. Being a self taught class wasn't that bad. I later realized that it worked out better for me and I was able to learn more. It's an easy class to get an A in.
I am I very left side of the brain oriented person. So I don't possess a single creative bone in my body. I can barely think of anything to write in yearbooks beside H.A.G.S. and K.A.T.S. Engineering is the only outlet I have to be creative. We have many project in there where we have to solve a problem using any means necessary. This allows me
to stretch the creative aspect of my brain by coming up with innovation whose effect on the project is something unknown. For instance we had to make a paper airplane that could do the most tricks and I had to make modification to airplanes without knowing what it make it do. It was a fifty-fifty chance of it ending up a success or crashing to the ground.
I am a competitive person by nature and engineering is a competitive class. Half the projects that we do in there includes a competition represented on our grade. If you have the best assignment you get a hundred, second best gets a ninety and the grades go down until they remain constant at 70. I love that stress of competing against other people and it makes even more rewarding when I get and A.
The best part about engineering is the people. Everyone gets along with everyone else and it is a very social class. Your free to talk and work at the same time. Nearly all the projects are group projects that simulate a real work environment. Engineering is fun because we play a lot of stupid games like who can flip Esteban's bag the most in one hour and hide and seek when we have a sub.
It is an easy class to get an a in but you can decide how much you want to learn. When we do projects on Rhino where we come up with a 3-d model of
Engineering is what I plan to major in when I go to college and have as a career choice. This makes the class seem purposeful. It is not just one of those pointless classes I have to take to pass school like geometry. There are no facts to pointlessly memorize or equations to learn just to take a test and then instantly forget them.
I had entered engineering thinking that it was going to be a textbook oriented class just like any other where I would have to understand concepts and memorize vocab for the numerous test I would have throughout the year.
