Essay/Term paper: Moment in life

Essay, term paper, research paper:  College Papers

I was born on 6 September 1980 in Bangkok, Thailand. The first two
people that can describe me the best are my father and my mother. They
told me that the first time they saw me they had the happiest time in
their lives because I am the first son of them. They said that I was a
curious and mischievous boy.
When I was six years old, I entered Chulalongkorn University
Demonstration school. In this school I was taught to be polite,
responsible and loved in learning. I have made many friends in this
school and I have had many experiences in this school, too. I was in a
student council where I learnt how to work in a group in a democratic
way. I was in a volleyball team. I got the certificate of merit from
this school from 1992 to 1996. When I was in grade 11, I decided to go
to study aboard because I think that now we live in a globalization and
we all need to know other people in other countries in different culture
so that we can help one another in the future. My mother and my father
agree with me so they asked my aunt that which school in the United
States is appropriate for me. My aunt told me that Cranbrook school is a
good school in Michigan then I applied for Cranbrook. When I was
accepted I am so glad because I can be near and take care of my sister
who is now studying civil engineering in the University of Michigan
attaining her Ph.D. Before I came here, I promise my mother and my
father that I will never make them disappointed. Now I am in Cranbrook
school, I have made many friends and I gained more experiences. I am the
Residential Advisor of the dorm and also one of the leader in World
Club. I am so happy to be here. In the future I want to be an engineer
like my father and my sister so that I can help my father in his
engineering company.
I want to be a civil engineer because I like Calculus, Physic,
Environmental Science, drawing and when I was young I always saw my
father, working on his table, calculating his plan which was my first
impression with engineering. Now it is time for me to go for a higher
education. I choose to apply for University of Michigan because I think
that it is the most appropriated school for me; I can take care of my
sister and she can help teaching me when I do not understand something
in the class. I know that U of M is a terrific school of engineering. My
sister tells me that U of M is a wonderful school for her and she is so
proud of being a student in U of M. Now it is time for me to get that
pride and feel it in the same way as my sister does. If I compared
myself now, I would be like a boat that is near the shore waiting for
someone to pull me up. And I know for sure that one should be the
University of Michigan.
