"Look what I made!" I exclaimed, as I placed the final plastic block on the four-story building.
My whole life I've had a craving to create. Starting when I picked up my first LEGO kit, that string of words has been a prominent part of my vocabulary. Unlike my friends, video games were not a particular interest of mine. Instead, building model airplanes, robotics kits, and other things of the sort were my forte. Activities such as these laid a foundation for my interest in engineering, and became the stepping stones for my desire to advance my knowledge of the field. Though with limited resources at my disposal, turning to personal research was the only option to further explore the field of engineering to a level of my liking. In doing so, I familiarized myself with a variety of topics, one of which is a phenomenon originating in the Renaissance times thought by many mathematicians and architects as perfection-the golden ratio (A:B :: A+B:A).
Leonardo Da Vinci applied it to the Mona Lisa, designers used it in the Taj Mahal, and now Boston University offers what I see as the golden ratio in a college education. A: With state of the art resources at their fingertips, BU's students learn to think critically and independently in a focused field of their choosing. B: BU is a melting pot of cultures; with a student body flocking from all fifty states and various countries, an open atmosphere is created that fashions the perfect environment for students to create intercultural connections in and out of the classroom. As an undergraduate at BU, A+B forms an ideal map for what I would like to accomplish-what I want to become a part of.
At the BU College of Engineering, with the help of an unprecedented education, exposure to one of the nation's largest research facilities, and the study abroad program, I plan to become more than just an engineer; I plan to become one of leadership, one that can foresee the future in technology and shed light on the issues of the world. Additionally, I hope to immerse myself in the variety of cultures this epitome of diversity possesses, and the multitude of opportunities each has to offer. Not only will this further shape me into a well-rounded engineer, but it will expose me to a new level of multiplicity in life, one that can mold my personality into one of openness.
It is with BU's golden ratio in a college education that I will be able to accomplish my ultimate goal; to become a modern day Renaissance man.
