One afternoon, I sat in my chair working on an extremely abstract derivative calculus problem. Through hour-long trials of working and brainstorming ideas arduously, I alas found myself struggling to find a solution to that problem, and I was left on the verge of giving up. However, knowing that there would be a favorable outcome of the project, I decided to motivate and challenge myself. I began thinking about various ways of experimenting with mathematical concepts and scientific knowledge that I grew a great understanding of. When I finally implemented those ideas in the project, It all made sense to me. Soon, I realized that solving the problem on my own allowed me to visit my mistakes and explore alternatives.
From the start of my childhood, I have always aspired to develop the fundamental skills required to succeed in science, technology, engineering, and math. As a child, I participated in many STEM-related competitions to soon realize a passion for the activity I was involved in. Through these experiences, I sought to share my passion with my peers and to teach them an opportunity that STEM gives a very different learning experience. Today, rather than being focused on achieving perfect grades at school, I am truly motivated in the STEM field by learning how to articulate solutions and using my errors to come to a fix. I strongly believe in the idea that success in STEM comes not from the ability to master, but from a positive attitude towards the subject. To help students who lack motivation in the field, I recently sought to take control of one venture in which I inspired younger students to discover different approaches. This venture was called the Peer Tutoring Club. My goal was to make the mechanics of the subject creative, valuable, and interesting, and I was able to accomplish this goal by strengthening their knowledge and boosting confidence in the skills that they lacked. Students and children were able to achieve a great understanding of the foundations of solving problems and extending concepts further in STEM.
Since that time, I've furthered STEM in the professional aspects of the field and shown interest in the industry of computer science. I have produced numerous websites and a variety of software applications. Computer programs, I observed, can tackle real-world problems. My experience in computing has given me a deeper understanding of the business aspects of the field. At school, I've delved into a range of passions, including coding an airline business and designing non-profit websites. Everything I've learned throughout my life has driven me toward utilizing STEM in computers. Throughout my time in high school, my value of ambition has taken me to the most challenging STEM courses in school, and I will continue to do so through the remainder of my future college and professional career.
