I am going to prove that I am more than a black athlete. I am a future engineer that will use science to change lives. Although I am most known in my community for my basketball abilities, my love for chemistry, biology, and math will inspire the future generation of my community. My biomedical engineering degree will empower me to improve the quality of life for members of my community and beyond. As an African American kid that started my education in what people consider a bad area, few people are surprised to hear that have excelled in sports. When I meet people, I am often asked if I play basketball due to my dark complexion and long slim physique. I sometimes feel like a stereotype when I affirm their suspicion. While people watch me play and applaud my dribbling and shooting skills, no one seems to think about the discipline and hard work that I have poured into my craft. It is that unseen work, however, that makes me confident about my future in science. Since I was five years old, I have been training daily for what I thought would be a career in basketball. As I woke up early and endured intense training, I not only strengthened my body. I strengthened my mind and my resolve. Through years of practicing discipline and focus for a game that I love, I developed an unexpected talent. I learned how to be consistent and determined to succeed. While I was studying to have a GPA that was high enough to impress college coaches, I accidentally fell in love with STEM. By the time I reached my senior year, I realized that my hard work could be better utilized in a scientific lab than a gym. Science has secretly been a passion of mine throughout my whole life. I genuinely get excited about microscopes and laboratory experiments. Anatomy, biology, chemistry, and physics are not any of my friends’ favorite subjects, but I enjoy them. My father is a Radiologic technologist at a local hospital, and I have always thought that his job provides an effective way to help people by using technology. I believe that everyone should use their talents and passions for helping others. My talents revolve around discipline and one of my biggest passions is science. I have decided to use those qualities to obtain a degree in biomedical engineering to develop ways to help people’s health and mobility. I plan to use my degree to both improve lives and inspire minds. The education I will receive will prepare me for a career in building and designing artificial limbs, pacemakers, and other devices that directly help people thrive. The fact that I am a young black man that was originally from an underserved community will inspire those around me. My cousins and friends who think they can only be entertainers will be shown an example of someone succeeding by turning attention from hoops to physics classes. The people who meet me and notice my mahogany brown athletic build understand that I am not just an athlete. I will be a highly educated scientist. Everyone in my community will know not to stereotype themselves or others.
