When I was eleven, I traveled to Honduras with my family. The horrific images of families living out of trash bags and police officers with machine guns guarding the community's grocery store have stuck with me. At the time, I didn't comprehend what I was seeing, but I realized how privileged I was as I grew and matured. Thinking back on this experience urges me to help those less fortunate. I can and will use this opportunity to develop ways families in Honduras and worldwide live a better life, one research project at a time. In my first year of high school, I traveled to Spain as an exchange student for two weeks. This experience was very different from my Honduras trip, but it still encouraged me to immerse in another culture. These rewarding experiences have helped shape me into the woman I am and want to become, a woman who inspires and helps others. If accepted into the Global Engineering RAP, I will use my strong worth ethic to help those who are less fortunate than me.
My future hallmate would be an understanding person. This ideal person would have the same worth ethic. They would theoretically have an "open door," meaning that if I ever needed a shoulder to cry on or needed help with classes, this person would be there. I would want to live down the hall from someone who wants to have fun and understands that academics are important. Finally, this person would have goals and aspirations and want to help others.
The Global Engineering RAP would provide me with real-world experiences that would allow me to reach out and help others. This community would give me a group of people who all have a similar goal as me, to help others. I would be able to work with others worldwide and spread my knowledge past the walls of CU Boulder. As a future engineer, I would be able to use my interests in Biomedical engineering to manufacture ways to help families medically. I would bring my positivity and willingness to help others to this community. I've known what it's like to struggle throughout high school, so I've already tried to make sure no one feels like that. Overall, this community will only benefit me and anyone else who is accepted. It provides a wonderful group of friends, an intellectual environment, and engineering experiences across the globe.
