This inspired When I was in 6th grade last year, my older brother attended Baruch College STEP Academy. When I attended the summer presentation on the last day, I observed the amazing projects created in addition to information about the field trips that participants attended. This inspired me to want to join Baruch STEP Academy.

From what I witnessed last year, Baruch's STEP Academy seems to be a high-quality place to learn science and technology hands-on. Computers always inspired me since I was young. To me, science is an interesting subject where a person can discover more regarding the science behind the world, why the world is the way it is, how bodily functions work, and much more. I acknowledge the fact that almost every week, scientists discover something unique to the science world. The fact that Baruch STEP Academy provides a free and engaging summer session to support learning distinct aspects of the science and technology world is to me, prodigious, and an opportunity I love. …show more content…
It seems to have a prominent SHSAT practice class to support rising 8th and 9th graders do well on the SHSAT. As a 7th grader, this opportunity to allow me to possibly attend the specialized high schools I desire is an opportunity I do not want to leave on the table. This opportunity is one I don’t want to miss, and therefore, I would love to join the Baruch STEP

    North Carolina Governor's School: Personal Narrative Analysis

    My first memory at North Carolina Governor’s School West is of crying next to my parents on a bench under a giant tree. It was move-in day for the five-and-a-half-week session, and I was already sure that they would be the worst weeks of my life. I was terrified; I knew no one except two students from my high school, who were rising juniors and to whom I had never spoken before. After that stressful first day, I fell asleep unsure of how I could make it on my own in a place filled with such talented, intelligent, and unfamiliar people. A week later, I knew that Governor’s School would be one of the most treasured experiences of my entire life.…

    Tag Accomplishments

    Some of my biggest accomplishments have been achieved because of one honor I received years ago. At age 7 I was admitted into the Talented and Gifted (TAG) program. The TAG program is for unique students with an IQ over 120 who aren't being challenged by the school's typical curriculum. This program has presented some of the most delightful challenges and rewarded some of the sweetest accomplishments to my peers and I. The influence of the TAG program can be divided into three different factions: peer competition, challenges from my instructor, and diverse experiences outside of the classroom.…

    COSMOSS Personal Statement

    In my high school experience, I have been blessed with many great teachers and advisors who have helped me develop academically. However, I learned at COSMOS, a science summer program at UC Davis, that learning goes beyond lectures in a classroom. At Davis, I experienced a college learning environment vastly different from high school. Every lecture day, I had a lab after lecture that applied concepts to real life. In the corresponding labs for Organic Chemistry, for instance, I made biofuel from newspaper and synthesized Benzodiazepine to kill krill.…

    Personal Narrative: Reynold

    Margaret was easily the coolest person I’d ever met, and I’d only known her for about ten minutes. She was a NASA intern at the Ames facility, and was fielding all my questions about her field, nanotechnology. As part of the Idaho Science and Aerospace Scholars (ISAS) program, me and forty-two other rising high school seniors had completed a semester-long online class during the school year, and were now participating in a week-long Summer Academy. Talking with scientists, engineers, and interns about everything from prosthetics to Reynold’s number made me realize something very powerful. School does not accurately represent how the real world works.…

    Project Citizen has been something I've heard about and have not been looking forward to for a couple years. This project is one of the many graduation requirements needed to receive my high school diploma, and also serves as a capstone of the 12 years of social studies. During project citizen students like me are able to address a problem in society by coming up with alternative policies and finding a possible way to solve it by going through different levels of government. The group I was apart of decided to tackle the problem of AP students not having the opportunity to receive the help they need to succeed, during the process of finding solutions and ways to put them into place I learned about what I can do as a citizen to change our public policy. As we decided what issue to address, our group looked for ways we could benefit the school we attend.…

    The Importance Of Joining The Ecology Club In High School

    With each step taken, choice made, and tear shed, I have surprised myself throughout my high school career. For example, about four years ago, I unexpectedly made the decision to join the Ecology Club in my high school. Life had just begun as a ninth-grader, and I was determined to join as many clubs and organizations as humanly possible. This dream, however, almost did not suffice because of my limited time and love for service. At first, the Ecology Club was alarming due to the requirement of twenty-five environmental service hours a semester and attendance to each activity.…

    Why I Chose Computer Science Essay

    Another reason I chose computer science is because computers are shaping the direction our world takes and I want to play a part in that. The idea of writing a program that helps a physicist decode the secrets of the universe or a doctor discover a cure for a serious disease holds great appeal for me. Computer science is a continually growing field and with computers becoming involved in almost every aspect of our lives it should remain so for the foreseeable future. Thanks to computer chips imbedded in everything from basketballs and shoes to computer-controlled thermostats more and more computerized data is being produced daily and to manage the acquisition, storage and use of this data will require computer scientists [1]. While sending jobs overseas will slow some aspects of computer science-related job growth overall computer science jobs are expected to continue growth through 2020 [3], [4], [5].…
