Bio

Though I have always loved and excelled in STEM areas such as mathematics and physics, I am also devoted to helping those around me. Through my experience as a cadet teacher in an elementary classroom, I have discovered the importance of finding curiosity in education. While I pursue an education in physics, I hope to inspire others to become curious in STEM as well.

    For as long as I can remember, I have been intrigued by how the world behaves around me. I would always ask my father questions such as why objects fall or how cars can move. In response to my questions, he would demonstrate to me why the laws of physics are constant. I remember, at around the age of four, he was helping me get ready for bed when I had questioned how objects fell. From there, he picked up a pencil and a battery, and showed me that as soon as he let go each one was completely still for a brief moment before it fell faster and faster. I didn’t know the terminology at the time, but he had demonstrated to me that gravity allows all objects to fall at a uniform acceleration. To this day, learning about subjects in STEM is my absolute passion, and I would say that this love started when my dad would teach me anything and everything physics-related at such a young age. His willingness to prove these concepts through simple demonstrations not only mesmerized me in the world of physics but gave me the intuition to spread my love of learning to others as well. I know that the impending college experience will be far from any other school. I will be far from home and have to rely on myself to succeed academically, socially, physically, and mentally. I do not doubt that there will be some rough patches in my journey to adapt to a new life, and it will not be an easy transition either. To hold myself accountable to commit to a schedule every day will be a trial in itself. Though I know I will certainly have my downs, I wholeheartedly believe that I will find my way in the end. Throughout my entire academic and extracurricular career, I have been adamant about earning my grades, positions, and promotions. I want to be worthy of where I will end up in life without relying on luck or other outside sources to get me there. I plan to live by this idea for the rest of my life, as I have seen by example through my family the importance of earning your success. As far as where I want to end up career-wise, I am currently undecided. I know that I love math, physics, and all things STEM. But this past fall, I was a cadet-teacher in Mrs. Johnson’s 3rd-grade class. I would help students understand topics they were struggling with, and even led a few lessons for the entire class. These hands-on experiences proved to me that I loved sharing my love for learning with others, and now I am left deciding between a career in teaching or engineering. Whichever I choose, I hope to have a positive impact on others while doing what I love, just as my dad did when I was younger.
