In the years leading up to high school, my exposure to the field of civil engineering

had been quite minimal. Throughout that phase of my life, my dreams and ambitions were
predominantly centered around nurturing a career as a compassionate veterinarian, dedicated
to the well-being of animals, or alternatively, pursuing a path as an educator, shaping young
minds and contributing to the growth of future generations.
As my growing curiosity began to take root within me. I became increasingly
intrigued by the complicated process behind the creation of roads, buildings, and
infrastructure that formed the backbone of our community. This curiosity ultimately led me to
discover the area of civil engineering, the discipline responsible for shaping the physical and
functional aspects of the world around us.
It was a conscious decision to choose to study civil engineering because I had a strong
desire to contribute to a group of people committed to actually changing the world. This
desire was born out of a deep-seated desire to contribute significantly to the building of not
only homes and roads, but also a sense of safety and fortitude that protected people from the
unforeseen forces of disasters. I wanted to actively contribute to the development of places
where people felt safe and protected.
Acing a quiz or exam is undoubtedly a challenging endeavour, yet I am
wholeheartedly committed to giving my utmost effort to achieve exceptional results in both
weekly and daily assessments. Firstly, I will actively take notes during our lectures it will
help me improve my understanding to the subject it will be helpful on taking quizzes and
exams. Secondly, I will dedicated myself fully in the subject and I understand that genuine
engagement is essential for a profound comprehension of the topics that we will encounter.
Furthermore, to balance my study and my life outside school, I will keep maintaining a well
structured schedule. Effective time management will enable me to balance my academic
commitments with the various aspects of my life beyond school.
Interactions with my peers, my cognitive limits, and my fear of acknowledging my
own weaknesses are the three things that have the potential to divert my attention from my
studies. One of them happened to me in high school when I was intensely interested in the
subject, listening to lectures constantly, and actively participating in recitations. But despite
all, I didn't receive the grade I deserved. It made me wonder whether the reason the teacher
did not give me the grade I deserve was due to my deficiencies in the subject, that made me
question my intelligence as a consistent honor student. Now that I'm in college, I want to
make redeem myself by not allowing these distractions to interfere with my studies.
