Thank you for this opportunity to talk about myself and my aspirations. Sometimes, when I think about it, coming up with a straightforward answer can be challenging. One thing I know for sure is I care deeply about my community. Growing up in Haiti, I experienced the challenges of unreliable electricity access. While we had electricity, it was often unpredictable, with power coming on randomly, usually under the cover of night, making it difficult to enjoy fully. Although electricity was scarce, my family still had fortunate access to electricity. I kept thinking of multiple ways of making electricity accessible to everyone in my community. Then suddenly, a brilliant idea hit me. My father and I created a charging station for our neighborhood. When I brought up this idea to my father, it seemed daunting—an impossible task. The large quantity of outlets scattered around the house would be far from ideal and unsafe. I was determined to come up with a solution. I surveyed my surroundings, and there it was: the perfect size plank for installing the outlets. Of course, my father, a former electrician, handled all of the intricate wiring; my doing it would probably result in a lethal bomb when it was powered on. What started as a community initiative evolved into a thriving business. We charged a minimal fee, generating much-needed income for our family. Yet, the most gratifying aspect for me was the expression of gratitude from the community. I was ecstatic, realizing the positive impact I could make. At this moment, I truly understood the power of creativity and that I would enjoy doing it. Growing up in Haiti, free education was a distant dream, and my parents worked tirelessly to keep me in school. The struggle continued, with moments when they fell behind on payments, putting my education at risk. Suddenly, the U.S. became my new home with a world of opportunities and, most importantly, free education! This was a turning point in my journey, emphasizing the value of accessible education. I now had access to endless research tools. This fueled my curiosity to gain knowledge and became the foundation for my aspirations to become an engineer. I plan to take advantage of my opportunities and become an essential societal individual. I also dream of giving back to my parents for all those years of sacrifice. In the end, I want to be a source of inspiration for young minds, showing them that their circumstances do not define their potential. By using my knowledge and creativity, I want to contribute to a world where everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to pursue their dreams and make a meaningful difference. Thank you for taking the time to read my response, and I'll be grateful for any consideration given to me.
