Logan
"I am by no means perfect, or even close. However, I possess qualities that pertain to my own interests and ideas. Problem solving is one of my greatest strengths and the most auspicious facet of my character. No matter how complex the problem is, I can always figure out a way to solve it or at least find an alternative to the solution. I am extremely inclined to challenges or difficulties that put my abilities and potential to the test in hopes that I will learn and expand my knowledge. For a successful prospective student and entrepreneur in the field of technology, these traits are highly desirable.
"Ever since childhood, I was surrounded by computational electronics since my parents were both devout engineers. Great thinkers of the past like John Locke believed that environment is key to the development of the individual and my life is a great example. I gradually developed interest in computer technology as the electronic industry soared, all under the influence of my parents' passions for their careers.
"I plan on attending a technologically oriented university where I can focus my interests and expand my knowledge base and pursue a career in the technology industry."
Being involved with the Sterling Scholar program has enabled me to learn more about the abilities and goals of others from whom I can acquire knowledge about myself in context of the real world, where the real journey lies."
