我是一名电气工程师，在一家咨询公司工作，这家公司通过实施节能技术来帮助全国各地的社区和公司节约能源。Eventually, I’d like to start my own company that helps bring electricity and renewable energy to impoverished areas around the world.
我不会拿我在莱克郡学院的前两年与任何四年制学院或大学交换。CLC让我可以自己完成转变——从一个没有职业目标的年轻学生变成一个有计划、能自给自足的成年人。通过参加学生组织，我结交了一群有趣的朋友，他们和我一样，致力于在CLC和其他学校取得成功。
No one ever told me that I had skills in math until I came to CLC, when I earned A grades in pre-calculus and calculus, and a professor complimented me.That started me thinking of doing something with applied math, and I later decided on a career in engineering.
Outside of the coursework, I was active in the Engineering Club.When an art professor requested energy efficient, LED lighting for his outdoor kiln, we divided our club into two competing design teams: one proposing solar power and the other favoring wind power. The exercise was really beneficial. Each team was given a budget and had to design its solution, write the proposal and present it in plain English to the art professor. The solar-powered lighting proposal won.
Being involved in the Men of Vision club also was extremely valuable.I served as the club’s public relations representative, and I helped organize projects such as the annual Man Up conference. I’m still in contact with many club members, who have since moved on to careers in companies such as Goldman Sachs, General Electric and Texas Instruments.
在CLC，我学到:不要只是告诉别人你的目标是什么。采取步骤来完成目标。选择一本与你的领域相关的杂志。为一项事业做志愿者或加入一个俱乐部。对日常活动以及它们如何引领你的未来更有激情。
