This summer I went to The Engineering Possibilities In College (EPIC) Program at Cal Poly SLO. This was a really important event in my life.I will never forget this experience it helped me narrow down the majors I am interested in to two options: Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science. The hands on experience I had at the program made it really clear which fields interested me the most. I got to know what is like to be on the Cal Poly Campus and became more familiar with the college application process. This program also helped me learn a little about myself and challenged me to interact with people from other backgrounds and taught me how to be a better leader. There are many skills that I developed at this camp, and I could've never done this without your support. You changed my life by setting me on the right track and opening up so many doors. I can't thank you enough; my gratitude will be with you forever. I loved the experience of meeting all these new people. One day I'm striving to be one of you who are willing to youth grow by opening up opportunities for them. Now I have been inspired to never give up because I know there are still good people out there who are rooting for me and my peers to succeed. Thank you!

I want to thank you for supporting me on this dream. This is a really important and exciting program. I aspire to become a Civil Engineer or Technology Engineer and this program is a head start. By doing hands on projects, I can experience and decide what field of engineering I might be interested in. This is the best opportunity given to me and I will take as much advantage of the program as possible.
