Chemical Engineer

[JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo]

Hey Guys... i'm having to write this paper in hopes to get a scholarship. It's about why i'm choosing to be a chemical engineer.. and honest, I DO NOT KNOW!! But, so far, this is what i've got, and i would really really love it if you guys would read it and help me out just as much as you can... when i refer to my parents in here, i'm talking about my dad, cause he was alive when i decided to become a chem. engineer, and my aunt....

Chemical engineering was not my initial choice of career. I, like many other children of young age, had dreams of becoming a doctor, actress, model, lawyer and back to doctor again. No matter how many times I changed my mind, I always knew that I wanted to study a science, just did not know which one. Through middle school and ninth grade I had dreams of one day becoming a doctor. I wanted my name in papers. I wanted to make grand discoveries that would lead to the cure of cancer or other devastating diseases; that was until reality set in. Around the tenth grade I realized that even though I wanted the title, four years of college plus medical school was not how I wanted to spend the next decade of my life. Junior year came around and I still had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I knew college was definitely in my future; just what to do there was the problem.

Luckily, in my junior year of high school I took my first chemistry class. In there I realized that, even though I had to study hard and concentrate to understand some of the material, this was definitely something I could see myself studying for the next four years of my life. My parent’s opinion was slightly different though, “What can you do with a chemistry degree, teach it? You know teachers don’t make anything. Why don’t you just go into computers instead?” At the time I knew very little about chemistry and what kind of jobs the major had to offer, but I knew there had to be more than what my parents assumed. That’s when I learned about chemical engineering.
I took the title “chemical engineer” literally. I thought it was another name for chemist; I couldn’t picture myself in a white robe, wearing goggling glasses, and laughing hysterically while I conjured up some potion.


tha'ts all i got so far.. any help?

That's very good. Maybe you could do something like this in your own words.

All through school, i've worked very hard to maintain good grades and I will continue this during my college years because I welcome a challenge. I believe that I can rise to the occasion and succeed in whatever I do.

Go to Google.com. Type in Chemical engineering. There is a site called pafco about chemical engineering. The best part was called, what is chemical engineering. They are humorous about it and informative. I hope you can find it. Don't shy away from writing stuff in your essay that isn't true, lol. I mean, if you didn't know back when why you wanted to be a chemical engineer just add on what you know now about why you want to be a chemical engineer. If you can find that site it will give you some inspirational ideas.
