A large portion of who I am today comes from my brother. My brother indirect has
taught me many skills and perspectives to see the world. My brother is a hard-working
individual, despite him always being in the collective group of people. My brother, like most, did
not learn how to independent, he had to learn through someway. Oren, my brother was not
responsible in his middle school years, which means his grades plummeted. My parents tried and
tried to get him to be responsible and do his job as student, but he didn’t, so he was punished. I
observed my brother was forced to break his toys. My brother is not the type to simply like his
toys, he loves them. He distorted his world, lived a fantasy to better play, dedicated time and
effort to know more about them, so breaking them was a huge impact. Think of it like having to
destroy your source of happiness and comfort. I watched as my brother was forced to smash the
things he loved because of his actions. My brother, one who seemed untouchable, in absolute
destress, panic, a awful flurry of emotion. I watched my brother finally crumble out of his own
doing. I observed the workings of punishment. I watched carrot or whip occur. Change was a
requirement but reward the good was not working. I saw the human machine altered and changed
This taught me a powerful lesson, the worse you do, the worse punishment. This detailed
to me many lessons, those who do not succeed, lose what they want, no one is invincible, and I

world does not care that I have feelings, it cares on results and efficiency. The world cares not
for the strengths of one, just their vulnerabilities. I must use the strengths I have. I can observe
what is happening or what can happen, I can change what is happening, in order to derive
happiness. My brother has educated me to see the world and made me have a goal-oriented mind
I chose to go into bioengineering because of I found the idea of working with people and
machines amazing. People work like machines, so I thought I can apply what I learned about
people to machines and vice versa. If I derive happiness from my career, I will never let it go, I
will always work to keep it. I must know more because if I can be better than the competition,
then I nigh guarantee my position in this career. My mentorship allows me to see the career I
want to go into, which is critical for me. If I do not maintain such passion for my career I will
slowly descend into collapse. I was taught to do my best and more. I must never allow myself to
lose what I enjoy. I have learned to observe from my family, so I may be critical of what I see.
needs creativity and logic, so observing many examples or creations and then applying them with
engineering logic allows me to succeed. I can ensure my happiness with my bioengineering from
this field and confirmed my bias. I chose bioengineering because I can dedicate myself to
making one task perfect, applying observed tactics, and achieving happiness from my interest in
the field.
