As a kid, right when I got home from school I would open my backpack and start my math homework. When I finished doing my homework I would go to my sister and offer to do her math homework. I just couldn’t get enough. I would take every opportunity I had to work on math. I remember playing “teacher” where I would demonstrate solving math problems to my “students”- my sister and friends. I found significant gratification in solving math problems. I looked at it as a never-ending puzzle. Because I enjoyed math so much, I started tutoring after school. I enjoyed seeing my tutees' faces when they were finally able to understand a concept they had struggled with. My junior year of high school I tutored a girl who was at the point of failing. I spent hours with her explaining concepts and figuring out the way she best learns. Together we figured out her struggles and she was able to retake her exams and quizzes. At the end of the semester, she earned a B+. I was happy she had not quit through the process and possibly enjoyed some of it. Although it took many hours of work, her smile of gratitude and appreciation meant everything to me. This encourages me to keep learning higher levels of math and its applications. I look forward to continuing solving puzzles in college and hopefully in my career as a civil engineer. My love of math led me to pursue a career where I can put that knowledge to use. I want to major in civil engineering because I would like to take it to a level where I'm able to impact the world I live in for the better. I always imagine designing, having plans, and supervising the construction of infrastructure projects in my community. Projects like roads, bridges, dams, water systems, and airports. Being impact in my neighborhood where there isn't sidewalks have impacted my was of living in my neighborhood, in not being able to go on walks around due to not having sidewalks. This cause an impact in not being able to explore around and not being to talk those daily walk. I will have the capability to ensure that these structures are safe, sustainable, and functional while taking into consideration factors like environmental impact, cost, and compliance. In creating these projects I want to make sure that we are using eco-friendly materials because I also want to protect the planet and to ensure that future generations have a safe clean environment. I realize that engineering is dominated by men but I know that I am capable of doing the same or better work as men. I like working in teams and I like encouraging other women to go into these fields. People may say engineering is just for men to major in but that is not how it should be; women are able to lead a way into transforming and building an environment that is safe. As a woman I would like to make the world a better place for everyone. I think I will be a great engineer and also be a role model to young women after me because I would help create a more inclusive and diverse workforce where we can all thrive.

I remember often pretending to be a teacher where I would demonstrate solving math problems to my “students”- my sister and friends. I found significant gratification in solving math problems. I looked at it as a never-ending puzzle. At the end of 6th grade when it was time to take a state assessment I remember my peers talking about how they felt nervous, and overwhelmed. All I felt was calm and focused; I was ready to show everything I knew on this test. When I got my scores I was proud that I had scored the highest accuracy which placed me in the rank of excellence. This allowed me to skip an entire year of math, so I was able to take 8th-grade math the following school year.

Although it took many hours of work, her smile of gratitude and appreciation meant everything to me. This encourages me to keep learning higher levels of math and its applications. I look forward to continuing solving puzzles in college and hopefully in my career as a civil engineer. My love of math led me to pursue a career where I can put that knowledge to use. I want to major in civil engineering because I would like to take it to a level where I'm able to impact the world I live in for the better. I always imagine designing, having plans, and supervising the construction of infrastructure projects in my community. Projects like roads, bridges, dams, water systems, and airports. Being impact in my neighborhood where there isn't sidewalks have impacted my was of living in my neighborhood, in not being able to go on walks around due to not having sidewalks. This cause an impact in not being able to explore around and not being to talk those daily walk. I will have the capability to ensure that these structures are safe, sustainable, and functional while taking into consideration factors like environmental impact, cost, and compliance. In creating these projects I want to make sure that we are using eco-friendly materials because I also want to protect the planet and to ensure that future generations have a safe clean environment. I realize that engineering is dominated by men but I know that I am capable of doing the same or better work as men. I like working in teams and I like encouraging other women to go into these fields. People may say engineering is just for men to major in but that is not how it should be; women are able to lead a way into transforming and building an environment that is safe. As a woman I would like to make the world a better place for everyone. I think I will be a great engineer and also be a role model to young women after me because I would help create a more inclusive and diverse workforce where we can all thrive.

As a kid, right when I got home from school I would open my backpack and start my math homework. When I finished doing my homework I would go to my sister and offer to do her math homework. I just couldn’t get enough. I would take every opportunity I had to work on math. I remember playing “teacher” where I would demonstrate solving math problems to my “students”- my sister and friends. I found significant gratification in solving math problems. I looked at it as a never-ending puzzle. Because I enjoyed math so much, I started tutoring after school. I enjoyed seeing my tutees' faces when they were finally able to understand a concept they had struggled with. My junior year of high school I tutored a girl who was at the point of failing. I spent hours with her explaining concepts and figuring out the way she best learns. Together we figured out her struggles and she was able to retake her exams and quizzes. At the end of the semester, she earned a B+. I was happy she had not quit through the process and possibly enjoyed some of it.

I just couldn’t get enough. I would take every opportunity I had to work on math. I remember often pretending to be a teacher where I would demonstrate solving math problems to my “students”- my sister and friends. I found significant gratification in solving math problems. I looked at it as a never-ending puzzle. At the end of 6th grade when it was time to take a state assessment I remember my peers talking about how they felt nervous, and overwhelmed. All I felt was calm and focused; I was ready to show everything I knew on this test. When I got my scores I was proud that I had scored the highest accuracy which placed me in the rank of excellence. This allowed me to skip an entire year of math, so I was able to take 8th-grade math the following school year. Because I enjoyed math so much, I started helping other people understand it; I started tutoring after school. I enjoyed seeing my tutees' faces when they were finally able to understand a concept they had struggled with.
