The Significance of Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is the backbone of modern society. It encompasses the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure that makes our daily lives possible, including roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings. Civil engineers not only create these essential structures but also ensure they are safe, efficient, and sustainable. This field plays a crucial role in environmental protection by developing innovative solutions to reduce pollution and manage natural resources responsibly. By improving the built environment, civil engineering enhances the overall well-being of society, making cities more livable and resilient.
Civil engineering is vital for public safety and quality of life. Properly designed and maintained infrastructure ensures that people can travel safely, access clean water, and live in structurally sound buildings. Moreover, civil engineers are at the forefront of disaster prevention and mitigation, designing structures that can withstand natural calamities like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. In essence, civil engineering is about creating a better, more sustainable future for everyone.
Your Personal Passion for Civil Engineering
My passion for civil engineering began with my fascination for building and design from a young age. Watching construction projects that my family will be working on and imagining how structures come to life sparked my interest. Over time, this curiosity evolved into a deep appreciation for the impact that well-designed infrastructure can have on communities. I am particularly excited about sustainable urban development and the potential to create eco-friendly and resilient cities. The challenge of balancing functionality with environmental stewardship drives my enthusiasm for this field.
One of the most thrilling aspects of civil engineering for me is the diversity of projects. From designing innovative transportation systems to developing sustainable water management solutions, each project offers unique challenges and opportunities to make a difference. I am especially interested in green building technologies and renewable energy integration, which are essential for reducing the environmental footprint of urban development. My goal is to contribute to projects that not only meet today's needs but also ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

However, these obstacles have only strengthened my resolve to pursue civil engineering. For instance, I’ve faced moments of self-doubt and stress, especially when managing multiple assignments. To overcome these, I developed better time management skills, sought support from mentors, and practiced self-care to maintain my mental well-being. Seeing others struggle with similar issues has made me more empathetic and motivated to contribute positively to society through my work in civil engineering.
In addition to academic challenges, I have encountered practical difficulties, such as understanding complex engineering concepts and applying them to real-world scenarios. To tackle these challenges, I actively participated in study groups, sought advice from experienced engineers, and engaged in hands-on projects to gain practical experience. Each challenge I faced has been a learning opportunity, helping me grow both personally and professionally.
Overall, these experiences have shaped my goals and reinforced my commitment to making a difference through civil engineering. By continuously learning and adapting, I am determined to overcome any future challenges and contribute to building a better, more sustainable world. Through perseverance and dedication, I aim to leave a lasting positive impact on the communities I serve.

Women are seen as not brave enough to do construction, weak, and afraid. While being Mexican, half of Mexicans are construction workers and seen as pitiful because they can't get a good job, and 40% of immigrants work to make a living. My whole family are construction workers and I'm proud that their my life they help and support me with any decision I make or help me make the right choices. Even though they're difficult times like my parents separating and living with my grandmom trying to save up money to move out without help from my grandparent. Although I am aware of what happens in major or college classes, I hope to make good choices that will make my life easier and lead to accomplishments, even if they are small. Improvement is crucial, and it should be continuous. Giving up is not an option. Wanting to become a civil engineer, my primary objective is to inspire and contribute to the growth of society in a positive way by impacting people's lives. Choosing a career in the A/E/C industry was a natural decision for me as it perfectly aligns with my goal of making a tangible difference in the world by improving the built environment. My dedication to engineering drives me to explore solutions that not only enhance infrastructure but also create sustainable and efficient spaces that benefit communities and individuals alike.

Education, to me, is much more than acquiring knowledge; it's a stepping stone towards achieving my dreams, a continual journey of learning, and a pathway to opportunities that will shape my future. As a 17-year-old Mexican American and a senior at my high school, I view education as a tool that I can use not just to advance my personal growth but also as a means to transform the fortunes of my family. Being a first-generation family member, with aspirations to go to college, education is my beacon of hope that will enable this transition.
Firstly, education is the pivotal key that will unlock multiple opportunities for me in the future. It not only equips me with the necessary knowledge and skills but also instills a sense of purpose, self-confidence, and resilience that will aid me through my future endeavors.

On the other hand, as a Civil Engineer, I aim to transform communities through the design and construction of infrastructure. These aspirations hinge on my desire to impact my environment positively and contribute to the betterment of society.
Being a first-generation family member going to college, I am faced with the task of navigating this venture independently. Challenges such as the financial burden of attending college and lack of mentorship are constant roadblocks. I am optimistic and determined to overcome these hurdles.
To eliminate the financial barrier, I am actively applying for scholarships to fund my education. I see this process as an opportunity to advocate for myself and my dreams. Additionally, my drive to excel in school is fueled by these challenges, as I realize that my performance and accomplishments are significant determinants when competing for these scholarships.
Education to me is a powerful tool, a stepping stone to a better life.

Thus, education is the guiding light that takes me one step closer to achieving my dreams every day.
Barbara Cain Literary Scholarship
Books play an integral role in moulding our lives by shaping our viewpoints, instilling values, and providing a treasure house of knowledge. In my life, the books I've read have carved my perspectives, influenced my opinions, and shaped my goals. They have not only educated me but have also been instrumental in my personality development.
One of the greatest impacts that books had on me was the transformation of my worldview. Non-fiction books, such as 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari, for instance, broadened my understanding of how societies evolved and the psychological influences that molded human behaviors. It made me realize the importance of understanding the world, its past, and its progression, and how it directly influences our behaviors, customs, and beliefs.
In contrast, fictional books like '1984' by George Orwell made me aware of the possibilities of a dystopian future, which could arise from unchecked totalitarian regimes. It instilled in me a greater awareness of political shifts and societal changes around the globe, which urged me to be involved and contribute to society actively.
Books are not just expansive repositories of knowledge; they are tools that help shape our skills. During my pre-teen years, I was introduced to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl, which imagined a world full of sweetness and joy. More than the story, the book engrained in me a love for language and creativity, honing my writing skills and enhancing my imagination.
On the other hand, biographies like 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank, provided firsthand insight into the harsh realities of the world, like war, oppression, and injustice. Reading such narratives not only increases my awareness but also ignites a desire to challenge such issues.
The varied spectrum of knowledge that books offer has also greatly influenced my personal and professional goals. Books such as 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' by Sheryl Sandberg have inspired me to strive for gender equality in all aspects of life, including the workplace.
Likewise, reading self-help books like 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill, has guided me in setting personal growth and financial goals. The book taught me the significance of persistence, a positive attitude, and personal beliefs in achieving success, shaping my disciplinary and work ethics towards achieving my objectives.
Books have a unique ability to transport readers into different worlds and perspectives. By diving into the diverse world that books offer, I've learned to be more empathetic and understanding. Novels like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee gave me a profound insight into racial prejudice. It exposed me to the harsh reality of racism and how it affects people's lives. This has shaped my understanding of the importance of empathy, equality, fairness, and justice, and inspired me to stand up against such social injustices.
Books are instrumental in shaping a person's beliefs, attitudes, aspirations, and behavior. The books I've read have profoundly influenced my worldview, developed my skills, shaped my goals, and cultivated empathy within me. They have fostered a love for continuous learning and instilled in me the aspiration to contribute positively to society. As I continue to navigate through life, I look to books as a source of guidance, knowledge, and inspiration.

Between babysitting and cleaning the house, there is so little time and energy left to focus on academic pursuits or seek employment, regardless of the growing financial needs of our family and my aspirations of further education.
The introduction of your scholarship opportunity brings a shimmer of hope amidst these challenging times.

My career goal is to use my degree primarily to uplift my personal life and, most importantly, give back to the community that raised me. I want to be an inspiration to other kids from similar backgrounds, showing them that their dreams are valid and achievable, regardless of their current plight. Our society needs proof that difficulties don't define one's destiny, and I aspire to be that evidence.
My career journey also aims to harness my potential that extends beyond caring for my siblings and cleaning houses. I want to utilize my disciplined nature, responsibility, and the resilience life has taught me in a professional capacity. The experiences I've acquired over the years have shaped my outlook on life and my desire to succeed, which I intend to infuse into my chosen career which I'm deciding either civil engineering or veterinarian.
