Question: What about science fascinates you (or more simply, what do you like about science)?
Answer: I like science mostly because it helps people live better. There are many problems that need solutions or things that could be improved to make our world a better place. By solving one of these problems you know that your work will affect the whole world. I think it's great that through science anyone with an idea can make a big impact on the earth and human life.
Question: What hobbies or extra-curricular activities do you enjoy and why?
Answer: I really like pursuing projects involving mechanical engineering. To be able to have an idea, and then fabricate it and make it come true is always a wonderful experience. I also really enjoy playing soccer, I'm very competitive so team sports like soccer are perfect.
Question: What career do you want to pursue and why?
Answer: I would really like to go into mechanical engineering. I think its a great career because I LOVE building things. To be able to take an idea from paper and fabricate it into a 3-D working object is fantastic.
Question: What is your favorite school subject?
Answer: Well i can't say that that I have one subject that is my favorite. Science and math together are by far my favorite topics, I think they should really go together.
