I want to major in Physics and use my education to better the technology and practices utilized in everyday life making them more sustainable in a conscientious fashion for the future. My goal is to improve the lives of future generations, through education, encourage and foster an approach focused with conservation that is disciplined, effective, and with long-lasting practices that can be consistently maintained by all. I come from a military rooted family. My uncle served in the United States Marine Corps and my mother began her military career by first serving in the Illinois Air National Guard and then she enlisted for active duty and served proudly in the United States Navy. My family believes in asking questions; taking time to explain the world from various perspectives, and being the very best authentic version of yourself. I embrace the proud military core values of honor, integrity, loyalty, unity, and strength. A profound impact has been interacting with active duty and inspiring veterans of the many eras alike. Many have shared their memories; thanks to their life stories, I have become more appreciative of the sacrifices made. This profound impact continues to mold, mentor, and encourage me to persevere in my life following the tenets of hard work, dedication, and discipline. When I stand at attention for the daily playing of Taps at military installations at sunset and hear Reveille at sunrise, I stand with honor and respect. Whenever a holiday is observed, I do with a deepened sense of gratification, respect, and duty to be my very best self to honor the sacrifices made for my everyday freedoms. My family champions causes in the community that echo the call to service in all forms. We have written letters and prepared candy boxes for service members, created holiday cards for seniors, as well as donated items to numerous organizations that support community outreach. I volunteer at my community library as an assistant in the day-to-day operations. The library also has the S.T.E.A.M. Program where I mentor and engage in activities designed to encourage and inspire the fields of Science, Technology, Electronics, Art, and Mathematics. By participating in the preparation and teaching, I hope to inspire and mentor others to pursue the amazing vast opportunities of Science. I strive to foster community involvement, peak interests, and encourage future prospects. It is essential to mold, immerse, and involve the community at large for the future of this planet. Climate change, recycling and conservation of valuable materials and metals, travel and the pursuits of space exploration are imperative; making S.T.E.A.M. the building blocks and Physics the mortar. I want to make this world a better place for all; to not just live but thrive. By pursuing the platform of Science, in particular Physics, I want to improve the tactics in space as well as everyday travel by fine-tuning the usage of fuels and combustible materials in a more efficient manner that will not only better power the mechanisms utilized but do so with the priority of conservation and minimizing pollution. I hope to share my joys and journey with my peers, youth, and the communities of the world in efforts to reverse the course of the present trajectory and lead by example in great future pursuits with the core values to preserve, protect, as we forge ahead and beyond. I embrace challenges and seek out possibilities outside the box. My future plans include pursuing graduate studies in Physics and gaining valuable experience with various internship opportunities.
