My passion is architecture.
I describe Architecture in just 2 words, fantastic and wonderful. Like many high school students, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do once I graduated from high school. My passion started when I discovered that Architecture included my favorite subjects such as geometry and design. Then I took the SDS SELF-DIRECTED SEARCH and what surprised me is that I got some careers that involved Architecture. I did some research to understand more about Architecture and as I described it's just fantastic and wonderful.
Last year was my first year being Jorge's counselor and right away I was able to see Jorge's motivation to want to got to college. Due to Jorge coming from another country he had many questions about college. Jorge will ask me a lot of question about college and different programs that will help him get to college. Once I asked Jorge what college he would like to attend, he responded saying, I am going to go to UC Berkeley or Cal Poly I guarantee that I will attend one of those colleges. Knowing that a lot of students want to attend these colleges I told Jorge it is very competitive and it will take a lot of work to get there. He was very aware and guaranteed that he will work hard to reach this goal. Since that time Jorge has shown to be one of my hardest working students, pushing himself to reach higher academic success by taking AP course, doing excellent, and taking any opportunity to help him explore careers and college.
Thank you all for giving me the chance to embark this intense and rigorous 4-week program full of excitement and lasting memories. After attending to embARC, I was able to learn different aspects of architecture, mainly sustainable planning and urban design. The assignments were challenging, but at the same time entertaining. My favorite part was to create a pavilion from scratch and think ideas of concept models that could benefit the community. In conclusion, I enjoyed attending this program, but I don't see myself being an architect in the future. Instead, I decided that I want to become a mechanical engineer. Thank you again for lending me this opportunity to discover where my passion really is.
I am very excited that I'll be attending embARC this summer. Thank you all for helping me dig into this amazing discipline. I'll finally be able to explore more in detail my passion in architecture. Especially, I am looking forward to make this program a lasting memory full of awesome experiences.
Hope this helps you follow your dreams man.

Jorge, you absolutely deserve this opportunity! I hope that you learn a lot, and most importantly, enjoy every moment of it. I had the chance to learn about biophilic design a couple years ago, and have personally observed the impact that architectural design in a healthcare setting can have on patients' health and wellness. It is both "fantastic" and "wonderful," as you say! You will have so many opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways through your future work. We are so excited for you.

Jorge, I took mechanical drawing in my senior year and loved it. I'm not an artistic person so it gave me a chance to draw and create something nice. Even though I didn't become an architect, what I learned helped me with my career and future endeavors. There is no limit for you. Go after your dreams! God Bless.
