I'm in college?

As a member of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at UPenn, there are many things I hope to learn in the upcoming four years. First of all, I would like to learn how to think and approach problems like an engineer. I have always been interested in mathematic and scientific principles; however, I would like to make the most of my opportunity here at Penn to really learn how to apply such knowledge to solve real-world problems and truly make a difference. I have always wanted to be a doctor and to be able to use advanced knowledge of science to help others. However, recently I have realized that doctors can only do so much. Yes, a doctor can give immediate care and cure much illness that currently is affecting our population, but changing medical procedures and developing new devices that can solve prevalent health issues will not only benefit the current generations residing on earth but also the future generations to come. I believe that changing medicine for the better is how I can really make an impact on this earth, and by studying bioengineering and practicing biomedical engineering, I truly believe that I can help the human race much past my lifetime. For this, I wish to learn to think abstractly and creatively to solve problems and address issues that have affected and will affect our population for years to come.
