The travel experience I have that best prepares me for the Global Engineering RAP is in the mountains of my home state, Colorado. My family takes trips each summer to a cabin with no running water or plumbing, with our only water coming from a well pump. This type of travel contrasts with my daily experience of a running tap and plumbing throughout my house. I have not traveled to see the experiences of other people, but studying abroad and working abroad deeply interest me.
I want to be surrounded by other compassionate people who want to solve global humanitarian issues and will work to improve the lives of others. I am personally interested in Biomedical Engineering because I want to help people lead strong lives amidst medical issues, and have the capacity to contribute what they can to society. I want to live with people that also strive for communal and global well-being, not simply individual success.
I do not continually live without clean water or food, and I have never met anyone that has; I know, however, that this is a prevalent issue throughout much of the developing world, and global aid is very important to me. Working in an institution like Doctors Without Borders or Engineers Without Borders would be a dream come true, and I think that the Global Engineering RAP would prepare me well for that type of career. I am aware that the Global Engineering RAP will focus heavily on Civil Engineering, but the Global Engineering RAP will provide me insight into how I can apply Biomedical Engineering to a larger scale. Personally, I am optimistic about the future bringing global equity to people who are struggling, and I want to be a part of achieving that global success.
