College Admissions Essay: A Career As A Mechanical Engineer

Would your parents ever tried to kill you because you would mess up their valuable machines? Yes, I was that kid who would play with machines and take everything apart then put it back together. Being able to take a machine apart and rebuild it back together is like a feeling that you have accomplished a goal even though you just put the parts into the same place where they were before. How do planes fly in the sky? How do cars accelerate? I chose the major mechanical engineering to answer all these previous scientific questions.

The definition of mechanical engineering is the system that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical system. It

I would observe the inside parts of cars and try to learn how they functions. I was good at math, math is the language of numbers, it is a common language in which everyone can communicate with each other. However, engineering needs a lot of math to do programming, physics and other science courses. I realized mechanical engineering was not that easy major, it needs a lot of hard working, quickness, patience and ambition. My passion towards cars started growing bigger and bigger. When I was 12 years old, I tried to build a small remote control car, it did not work properly because i was lack of knowledge. Failing was a reason to push me insisting that I would be able to do it one day. Challenging the difficulties of engineering is very appealing. When I join this field, I will be learning new things daily as I adapt to new technologies and processes. I was not sure how I wanted to use interest and make a career out of it. I looked up couple ideas, for instance: a mechanic at garage shop, bus driver, and any handy-job that I could use my hands with. However, when I got older I realized how low down those jobs were. I went looking for a higher class job, then I knew about mechanical engineering and how I could make my interest and mechanical engineering come together. Playing with machines and designing cars would be the perfect enjoyable career for me, high pay, and easy
