Best fit for the Future!

What are the ACHIEVEMENTS?

What exactly are the achievements? To me my achievements are not the materials that I got, not the fame that I received but what makes me feel good about, what changes me to a better person, how I’m improved after all the great things that I accomplished and what led me to who I am today. I have received many awards and recognitions throughout my school years, from Honor Roll to Academic Letter, but for some reason I don’t really feel happy about it, it’s only motivates me to do better, become better. Flashing back 5 years ago, I can not imagine how I was like on the first day of school; I was living in the deaf world for my whole school year because of a new language, being able to hear what people saying but can’t understand what they saying. I was at the point where I could not take it anymore, but my teacher was there, she held my back and pushed me back up. She gave me hope. She always seems happy when she helped me out, I can never forget that time. I received too much helps from others and I realized that it’s time for me to give it out. I put lots of my time into volunteering around the community, though my help is small but I made people happy, I made a difference in them. Volunteering not only makes me feel good inside but also shapes me to a better person. I used to be really shy and quiet, but through the volunteer works, I became different. I saw myself improving; it allows me to become a stronger person, more outgoing and especially be happy of what I am.

Important ISSUES

Money is always the key to every problem. Sometimes I’m thinking how the world would be like without money. It’ll totally change our ways of seeing things, our ways of treating others and the way we treating our world. Imagine back in 10 years, when everything was so not expensive, the lives of the people were so happy because they didn’t have to think as much. Compare that to now, it’s the whole new separate world. Our economy is on the downhill; almost everything is rising in price especially on gasoline. Take a moment and think about it, how it affects our nation and our world, it leaves out nothing good but the downfall to our society, our people. What about the homeless, the dirt roads in North Omaha and places around the country, why couldn’t the money goes to these people these places rather than spend it on the war. The war brings out nothing good but death, only in 5 years; in estimate we lost 4,100 soldiers and wounded 30,000 or more and that not counting how much money we lost yet. Imagine in last couple of years, not only our economy is going down but also our environment, our earth is changing, it getting worse, because of global warming, pollution, and the way we treated our earth. We all created all these in some way; this is our chance to make a change. If we all try our best in putting some effort into it, it’ll change, to be better.

People INFLUENCE me

I can not tell how much people have changed me, influence me in someway. Everyday is the new experience of my life, I met new people new things but never know that they influenced me in someway. I encounter many things but never realized that it affected my life. Each of every little thing affects my life in one way or another. I’ve met many great people throughout my life but the ones that influenced me the most were my parents. Our family lives so happy. We don’t have everything that we desired to get, but we live our lives in happiness. The personality/character I got today are from my parents, may be it’s the way they raised me and how I seen them when growing up. They’re very hardworking people, very motivated and especially their good sense of humor. Growing up seeing that my parents gave out too much for me and my brothers always give me a motivation to do things, even when I feel I’m losing hope. Living in a new country really showing that I’m strong in person and responsible because I’m pretty do a lot of things on my own as far as everything goes that related to the new language. I suited to what they’ve taught and gave out for me. Who I am and what I am today belong to my parents, they’re the ones that made the person I am today.

What about COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES??

I would like to attend Colorado School of Mines, this is a great Engineer school that could help me in my career education. We used to build our own houses back in Vietnam. Growing up seeing my dad do all those kind of things really motivate me to pursue my career of interest, to become an Engineer. I did not get a lot of opportunity to things that I desired to do when I was little, so now I want to take any chance that I have to accomplish my goal, which is to attend an Engineer school. Colorado School of Mines designs the best fit for me, it opens my horizon for higher education. It pushes it me beyond the knowledge that I have in high school, and creating imagination to design things that will be better for the world. With the student ratio that is not too high, I would be able to get around knowing the professors as well as peers easier. Colorado School of Mines also provides activities and different organizations as well as sports that I could join. Colorado School of Mines would be my best choice for the future.
