Math Club competed in multiple math competitions. I was chosen one of the ten students that represented my school at the Torrance Regional Middle School Math Competition. That year, I received a certificate for the highest point total for the Math Olympiads competition at my school. In addition, I placed third in the AMC 8 and my score was among the top five percent of all participants. Participating in math competitions has given me the challenges that I am always looking for, taught me good study
I have always enjoyed studying physics and math and currently I got an opportunity to acquire more knowledge about these subjects in university. Engineering and technology unfortunately are not the easiest areas of study; despite that I have chosen engineering as my pathway subject. Engineering is highly requested around world and it appeals me because of its significance in any field. Engineering is important in application of scientific theories to any practical, it is also important in introduction
present from a very young age. Science, especially physics and mathematics, has always fascinated me since junior school. I have read a multitude of books and articles on physics, as well as learning about numerous physicists, mathematicians and other scientists, which further strengthened my interest towards science. Learning science at the university of Sydney has always been my goal, and my experience of the University at the International Science School solidified my choice. Admittance into
across the country having breast and ovarian cancer. The CURE program would be a great way for me to learn more and become immersed into the study of cancer research. The maximum experience that I have in the medical field is competing in the Science Olympiad for Disease Detective, as well as a HOSA competition for Biomedical Laboratory. Upon my graduation from high school, I want to get into the University of Florida to complete my undergraduate degree. Then, my ambition is to get into Princeton to study
I am Suhail Basalama, an international student from Yemen, a poor, war-torn country that most people have not even heard about. I was born in Sana'a, the capital city of Yemen, on the third of October, 1995. Coming from a modest family, my father had to quit studying medicine in Sana'a University to offer life necessities for me and my mother, so he traveled to work abroad in 2000. Although my mother quit school in the ninth during her pregnancy of me, she does perceive the value of education. As
fascinating subject that encompasses all aspects of our everyday life. Indeed, I like the fact that you get to acquire something new every day.I find career in medicine as challenging marathon, which I am ready to undertake. Studying biology, chemistry, physics and maths in A-Level helps me enhance my skills such as problem-solving, research, practical, analytical, time management and ability to work under pressure. In particular, the study of human anatomy fascinates me the most. No matter how much science
treatment available nowadays, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drugs, anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint blockers require specialized hospitals with expensive equipments, skilled people with a range of knowledge varying from nuclear physics to cell biology. Combination of all these make it impossible for people from small rural villages, like where I grow up, get at least a chance to cure their cancers. My ultimate goal is to develop a simple cancer treatment method which can be delivered
gave an honest attempt to provide my objectives, interests and career goals. Right from my school, I have developed special interest in mathematics and physics. I participated in mathematics Olympiads and got good grades. I got 91.1 % in my S.S.C examination which is equivalent to 10th standard. This interest made me to take up mathematics, physics and chemistry (M.P.C) as core subjects in my intermediate. I had secured good grades in my 12th with 97.6% aggregate. I was also placed in the top 1%
From a young age, I was always interested in numbers. I’ve been told many times that as a toddler I was always asking questions, wanting to learn basic mathematics. My love for math continued through high school and to this day, and I currently pursue a degree of mathematics at the University of Bath. However, from my early days, along with my interest for numbers came an interest in money, and material gain. Not in making my own, but why others made the decisions that they did. Growing up in Illinois
representation of one's own country. It seems to me that the Olympics have lost some of its touch when it comes to athleticism (cryptoworld.com). In addition, whatever happened to the idea of Amateur Athleticism? There was even a federation called International Amateur Athletics Federation formed, and it was stated that in order to participate in the Olympics, one must not be paid. Now, in modern terms, all they must do is take a break from being paid in their professional season to participate. The motto
A little girl, about 5 years of age, sits on the sidelines at one of her older brother’s track meets. She looks on, mesmerized, hoping one day she might be able to run in a race. She watches as all the boys run by, in a tight group toward the finish line. One boy trails behind all the others, his breathing is labored, his arms flail around as he stumbles to keep his balance and finish the race. When he crosses the finish line, the other boys laugh and exclaim “You run like a girl!”. The boy, huffing
