My dream is to convince people that there is a reason they should invest their time and energy in products that will benefit them and the earth. Many companies who sell products that environmentally friendly use that to market the product, but I want that to be the least appealing part of my product, yet the focus of the product. I think that by showing these people what said “products,” whatever they may be can do for them, people will come on their own. I want to go to college and study so that I will not only understand more thoroughly the problem that we pose to the environment, but to better understand how to make my dream a reality. This past summer I attended a workshop at YALE-NUS, which prompted me and several others to create a sort of …show more content…
NFC is a feature that is built in to most smart phones now as well as some headphones, cars and in even in smart appliances. NFC is becoming more common in electronics as time passes and by using a feature that will be even more prominent in the future, I can develop a product that will be marketable and effective in the future. This workshop inspired me and showed me that maybe my dream albeit different could be feasible. This product is feasible because of the advancement of technology, bluetooth was the beginning, but from the looks of things NFC is the future. This I hope will be the first product I am able to produce, but I also want to create and market other products that are just as eco-friendly and can be used in congruence with the “fitbit.”

Sectarian violence, subjugatory patriarchy, and societal militarization – all are but a few problems that have plagued the Pakistani state. Each of these issues has direct consequences that are plain to see, yet what is often forgotten is that malaises of this sort are, arguably, secondary aftereffects of a far more basal and ingrained problem – that of the ruinous state of Pakistan’s education system. At the expense of other, rather more “visible” crises, education has thus far occupied a backwater in the public consciousness – with the result that as education minister I have received negligible support from my own party members for raising the education budget above its 1988 high of a sorry 2.88% of GDP. This nation’s (deservedly infamous)
