Aerospace Engineering Admission Essay Sample

I am pursuing an engineering degree. More specifically I am going to major in Aerospace engineering and Mechanical engineering. I am getting 2 degrees so I have more stability because of the lower number of Aerospace Engineering jobs in the United States. The reason I wish to pursue these is for the interest I have in the subjects underlying these degrees and the challenges I will face. I am pursuing Aerospace Engineering for my interest in the subject, and i’m going to get a Mechanical Engineering to increase my net worth and job security.

As aforementioned I am pursuing engineering after high school. Truly though my dream job would be theoretical physics as I have always looked up to minds such as Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein as the most brilliant of recent times. I do not feel that theoretical physics is a safe job outlet for me after high school as there are not as many job openings for it as engineering. The part of theoretical physics that really sparks my interest is the astronomical level of it, as stated earlier I look up to stephen hawking and would one day I would hope that I may have the opportunity to do what he does. I feel that engineering is a nice prerequisite and that the knowledge i could gain from the

degrees, and the job stability it gives are what I need to pursue my lifelong goal of being a theoretical physicist.
I have participated in a few extra-curricular activities the one that I enjoy the most being robotics.

Robotics is very fun and I have a lot of friends in the club with me. The challenges that robotics club brings to the table are very similar to the ones found in engineering. I work on the physical side of the club, building the robots instead of making the software. I have gotten 2 straight years of honor roll with the exception of 9th grade english as this is not my strong subject.. I have had A’s in all of my science classes since I have started high school. I have been very close to A’s in my math classes, getting B+ in both Algebra 2 and Geometry. I have had great success in past years and plan to go even higher than those this

year.
I have some volunteer hours. All of my voluntary work hours come from my time working at Heart Heavens. I enjoyed my time at Heart Heavens, Heart Heavens is a non-profit organization that gives disabled people homes and care while they are at the homes. I worked with my mother helping her with her average work day. I really enjoyed the small time I had there because I felt like I was actually helping people and genuinely making their days better, even if I wasn’t there to physically help them. As my school has a very active special ed program this was also something I could relate to very easily. The little time I do have working volunteer was very enjoyable and was good for my character and what it has become.
