Colter Miest
Personal Statement
“Don't let what other people think stop you from doing what you love.” by an unknown author. The reason I want to go into mechanics is because my brothers and dad inspired me by working on things. When they were fixing engines, I was always asking questions and interested in what they were doing by helping them with tools. I was also intrigued by the grease on my hands, and fixing things that were once broken and making it work and run like new. Now, with my oldest brother going into diesel mechanics, and my middle brother going into mechatronics, mechanics pretty much runs in the family. My dad has inspired me by helping me with my own engines and teaching me what I know now. I also helped my dad fix a wrecked

    Mark Twain said, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” Twain had the belief that people need to surround themselves with others who will encourage them to be their best. Those who belittle others who are in pursuit of something ambitious are not the kind of people who are pursuing their own passions and desires. Those are people that may never have received words of encouragement to set their feet down and run. Also, those who belittle others ambitions have not had someone to walk alongside them in life and speak greatness to them. They have not been around the great ones themselves. The small are missing something that they cannot see. The influence of people around us can encourage us to greatness or easily help us to believe we are inept at achieving something bigger than what we know.…

    My father always told me that nothing worth having comes easy. I carry these words close to my heart and they have driven me to challenge myself through life, especially in my STEM career. My major in the science field has been similar to riding a roller-coaster, but I have learned to overcome most of the obstacles I have faced along the way. No matter what situation brought me down, I remained positive and tried to think of solutions rather than giving up. Finally, in the last few months, many of my peers would mention that I am the type of person who is able to withstand obstacles and recover quickly.…
