USC Viterbi School of Engineering supplements - fashion and makeup; don't have nerd look

USC Viterbi School of Engineering



Prompts:
1) How do you plan to use your engineering degree to benefit society?

2) Some people categorize engineers as geeks or nerds. Are you a geek, nerd, or neither? Why?

1) I plan to benefit society using my chemical engineering degree in the world of fashion and makeup. Makeup is a great way of expressing one's self. There are millions upon millions of makeup products that women use on a daily basis, but many of these products are extremely useless or of inconvenience. To take a strong hobby of mine and turn it into my own career seems absolutely perfect. There's nothing more I would want to do, but bring the same joy and happiness I bring to myself to other people with the same interests. To provide them with clean, safe, effective products would be a joy in itself. Chemical engineering is such a broad and vast field of engineering that I could study so many different aspects of it. I also love food, so if I were to go into chemical engineering with food or drugs, it would be helpful not only to my own health and liking, but also to others.

2) A nerd describes one as intelligent and studious, yet lacking in social skills. I believe that this is an absurd correlation and the entire statement is false. Media has shaped our outlook on what we picture as "nerds". When I use to hear the word "nerd", I would think of someone wearing high-waisted khakis with a hideous, button up plaid shirt, giant backpack, some dorky tennis shoes or penny loafers, and of course the oversized 3-D glasses. Now, I think of myself. I am a nerd for several reasons. I am intelligent and studious in various ways and aspects, but I definitely do not lack social skills. I honestly do not believe anyone lacks social skills, but I feel they haven't found their social skill yet. We all develop at different times and those, such as myself, who excel in intelligence, tend to forget about the other necessities because we are so focused on our distinct penchants. We always tend to over think every little thing about our every day lives, that when it comes to communication with others, it's a new process for us, a new object to speculate. At my school, we're very competitive and it's a challenge to be in the top 10%. We're all nerds in our own ways because it defines our personalities and who we are and how we do things. I am proud to be a nerd and always proud to express it wherever I go.

Not even my 1st choice major, but I'm still required to write these! Any help?(:

For prompt one:

- "To take a strong hobby of mine and turn it into my own ..." i would use a different adjective than strong, or change the sentence around a bit: To take a a hobby i enjoy or take a hobby i am passionate about , also own is redundant as a career is already your own

- " There's nothing more I would want to do, thanbut bring the same joy..." if you use but it seems like you want to do anything except for what you are stating

I love your response to the second prompt!!!!, you have a couple of grammar mistakes here and there, the only one that really stands out is the first sentence i think you mean "A nerd is described as one who is intelligent and studious..."

thanks for responding to my essay!
