My passion is architecture.
I began my interest for architecture when I was about ten. My dad, who was a painter, had a job at a business named Hayes Group. I would help him paint the interior of the building, so I got the chance to see the offices, equipment, and past projects. The way that the architects created detailed models was really amazing to me.
I hope to develop and explore my passion for architecture through UCLA Teen Archstudio Summer Institute. This program will allow me to grow as a person because I will be able to consider the needs of others in order to improve the living conditions of buildings. Essentially, this program would allow me to develop skills to become a contributing member of my community.
"Oscar is a good candidate for UCLA Teen Archstudio Summer Institute because he has consistently shown his ability to self-advocate for opportunities that he is passionate about. He has participated in multiple internships thus far and his commitment to developing as a soccer player shows this impressive discipline. This program combines two things that Oscar is passionate about, innovation and community service, and I know he will be an excellent fit. Through this program, Oscar will be able to continue to grow his leadership skills while learning more about his future career choice."
With all the various programs to choose from, I decided to pick UCLA so that I can explore my passion for architecture. I know that I wouldn't have this opportunity without the support of many of my friends and family. I look forward to getting to know the campus, meeting new people and, of course, being able to do something that I have always had a strong interest in doing.
Being able to go to UCLA this summer will help me develop life-long skills that I will need for college and after college. Being able to live at an actual college will give me a sense of what it really means to be able to live in college. This is something that I am really looking forward to because, this fall I'll be applying to college and this experience will allow to decide if I really want to potentially go to college in Southern California or if I prefer being near home.
Muchas suerte y que todas tus metas las alcances
