My passion is to discover new things.
The first time I started to have such passion for discovering new things was when I was nine. I dropped my dad's phone by accident, and it fell into pieces. He did not realize that I dropped it, so I tried putting all the pieces together. I found myself doing this over and over; something about how all those pieces fit together helped turn the phone on, which fascinated me. To this day, whenever something breaks I am the first one to help. I have passion for seeing how things work, making things, and discovering new ideas.
NYIT Career Discovery in Technology & Engineering sums up my passions all in one name. Attending this program will help me understand the things that I have been questioning for the past six years. Although I am very passionate about technology and engineering, coming to this program is also a way to question whether this field is something I am interested in studying in college.
"Seham caught my attention very early on in the school year because of her wonderful energy and diligence. Her honors essays, assignments that are given in addition to normal course work, are always well organized and superior in their arguments. Seham is charming and warm and constantly asks if she can help out or tutor other students. She is easily in the top 5% of students I've ever taught.
I believe the NYIT Career Discovery in Technology & Engineering program will empower Seham to interact with technology in a new, meaningful way. This opportunity will help Seham, and other girls like her, increase their interest in a field that is dominated by men. I feel that this will further build her confidence as a learner, woman, and student."
Attending NYIT's program this summer was an amazing and interesting experience. In the program, we did a series of hands-on experiments which included the 4 fields which are robotics , game development , hacking and electronic music. My favorite one of all was the robotics because it was more hands on then the rest and I liked the concept of putting in my own creativity into the robot we were building. Thank you for donating to send me to this great program.
I will be attending NYIT Career Discovery in Technology & Engineering this summer. First off, I would like to start off by thanking you for helping me on getting the opportunity to attend this program. My freshmen year in high school has been hectic and confusing. As I got to know my teachers better and interacted with everyone more, I got a better feel of the environment around me and my grades increased.
Coming to the program this summer will help me with my social skills the most. I lack the proper techniques needed to get myself out there in the public world. However, my goal this summer is to open up all possible opportunities that could help me grow as a person. In this program, we will be doing a variety of hands-on experiments in the technology and engineering field area. I chose this program because I've always had an interest in technology and engineering. It's also a way to see if I should keep taking these kind of courses outside this program and maybe even take it as a major in college. It's never too early to start preparing yourself for college, and my journey towards that begins this summer at NYIT Career Discovery in Technology & Engineering.
Hello, this is Ahmed Youssef. My daughter was a Wishbone candidate as well, and because I love this organization, I got into the habit of donating to young students just as others did for my daughter. I hope you enjoy your course and succeed in life. Good luck!
