I truly embraced service to my community throughout high school and will continue to do so

Georgia Tech's motto is: "Progress and Service." What does that mean to you? max.150 words

In my dictionary, I define progress as the betterment of the human condition for society as a whole. Change, positive change, can only truly be called progress when it is combined with service, when it is allowed to help change the lives of more than a select few.

I truly embraced service to my community throughout high school and will continue to do so in Georgia Tech. My experiences as a tennis coach for disabled children will hopefully make me a useful addition to the Club Assistance Program of Georgia Tech's MOVE organization.

Engineers without Borders allows me to embrace service in an entirely new way. It allows me to finally convert the education I receive in the classroom into meaningful change, progress, that will transform people's lives.

While Georgia Tech gives me the chance to change myself for the better, it also allows me to change the world.

Marcus, do not offer information that is not being asked for in the essay. You are only allotted 150 words to provide your personal definition of the words progress and service. Don't confuse the issue by discussing your volunteer work and how you hope to continue it int he future at Georgia Tech. Instead, fully discuss your personal understanding of the word. First give the words meaning and then discuss them in terms of action. That is how this kind of essay works more effectively. Don't deviate by discussing the activities you plan to participate in. That is not required and is irrelevant in this essay.
