This is the one responding to what matters to you and why i need to cut some words
Motivation is what matters to me most. It is the personal quality I admire most in people and am most proud to have. I believe it is motivation that drives people to do great things. I want to be one of those people.
I consider myself a highly motivated individual; I strive for the best and have a positive outlook on life. I want to make something out of my life; going to college from a young age has been one of my dreams. It is a dream that is now in grasp. I keep college posters on my room walls to keep me motivated and remind me of what I'm working for. They all show beautiful cities and campuses that for me symbolize a world of possibilities and opportunities- a world I want to explore.
When I walked into the first class of my senior year the first thing I saw was a poster of a New York skyline above it was a lightning storm. Lightning is the symbol I associate to represent motivation. It is the symbol that I identify with myself. The word "ELECTRYING" bolded across the bottom, underneath that read "imagine having an enthusiasm that electrifies others". This poster describes a part of who I am. Helping others is an activity to which I have come to dedicate a large portion of my time.
Tutoring is the way I help others I have tutored elementary and high school students. I have learned to work with a variety of learning styles and gained a valuable quality when working with children- patience. Some of the kids appeared to have learning disabilities and would give up after not understanding the topic on hand. As a tutor that wants to ensure success into those I help I look for a different way to approach the subject. Once their face lights up is when I can see that they truly understand it- it is an outstanding feeling knowing I used my knowledge gained in school to someone else.
In connection with the poster, one experience I remember was coming across a child with a pessimistic attitude towards school. They believed their dream job was working an AMPM. Tutoring young children is an opportunity to encourage them to pursue bright futures through education
and this one is the one responding to reflect on an idea or experince that has helped your academic development
"Learn by doing" is an idea that has helped me grow as a student. What it means to me is to learn through experience; to learn from past mistakes. It is not just realizing that a mistake has been committed but actually understanding and analyzing it to learn how to correct it.
My intended field of study is engineering as an engineer their job is to design or improve an existing design to better improve its function. It was at a robotics submarine competition that I really embraced and understood the idea. From this experience I learned to work within a team for the success of our design. We came to the competition overly confident in our design. During the first test run our robot sank to the bottom with no anticipation of movement. Our spirits were crushed but we were able to take suggestions from other teams and watch their runs to improve our design and through those corrections were able tie for second place. I remember watching as one of the teams packed away and left even before the competition started. I pondered at the reasons they decided to leave; every design failed but we were ultimately able to correct those designs to ensure success.
This experience has taught me to continue one even when in a difficult situation. Science has become my best subject; chemistry and biology were not as difficult for me as physics has been. Physics for me involves a different way of thinking that is challenging. Despite its difficulty I want to succeed in the course. To do so I read the CP text to understand the basic aspects of the subject and then I read the AP text to understand the level at which the course is set. It is different experience for me but has taught me perc and has helped me succeed in the course.
