Georgia Tech, Here I Come!

There are three things in my school career that mean the world to me: engineering, music, and student government. Those three things keep me balanced between emotion and logic, and make me happier than anything else. When I was looking for colleges to apply to, Georgia Tech kept coming up in all of my searches. After doing much research on the school, I found out that the balance of logic and emotional creativity that I hold so dear ran deep throughout Tech. After visiting the campus, I knew that my home was there.

            At Georgia Tech, I plan to pursue music, student government, and chemical engineering. After watching videos, the Yellow Jacket Marching Band blew my mind. I knew then that I wanted to become a member of that elite group. I would love nothing better than to be on the field, marching at halftime at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Although, marching down Freshman Hill before each game is a close second. Music is something that has taught me how to think outside the box, a trait that allows engineers to make new, innovative technology.

Student government is a passion of mine that I’ve followed all throughout high school. Throughout my senior year, I am serving as the Executive President of the Student Government, and I know that this political avenue is something I want to continue at Georgia Tech. Through the student government system, I’ve enhanced several leadership skills as well as the ability to make rational decisions that benefit the masses. These skills have allowed me to have a take charge attitude and lead my team to work together and achieve success, traits that I know is extraordinarily important in the world of engineering.

Finally, my predicted major is chemical engineering. I decided upon that because of my love of chemistry and my drive to become an engineer. One of my long term goals is to ease the world into more efficient and cost effective energy sources. To accomplish that, I plan to do plenty of undergraduate research and take advantage of any internship opportunities that come my way.  Georgia Tech is the school that will allow me to do everything I can to become the best I can be. At Georgia Tech, I know that I will be able to fit all the pieces together to complete my lifelong goal.
