Slavery took a hard hit in the 1830’s as Abolitionists began to harshly criticize the institution of slavery. There was also a few slave rebellions that ultimately failed that scared slave owners and other southerners. To combat this rough criticism and rebellion southern evangelicals interpreted the Bible as being literal and began to use certain verses to support slavery. “They pointed out, for example, that the patriarchs of Israel had owned slaves. Slavery had been practiced throughout the Roman world at the time of Christ, they noted, and the apostles had urged obedience to all secular laws, including those governing slavery.” (The American Journey Ch.11 Pg. 301) Ironically Northern evangelicals used the Bible to argue that slavery was…

“Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams” Donovan Bailey. This reminds me of what my great aunt would always say.

Lastly, the last and final thing I shall never in my life is have no future for myself. I refuse to be a nobody and have a life wasted on nothing. This is my life and I will most definitely live it to the fullest with an education. I want to be a somebody, be remembered for something I did. An education is how you can get absolutely everything in the palm of your fingers. Without an education you make things much harder on yourself. You’d also have to be…

And then my real challenge starts in high school, first year. I had problems, I failed in my Chinese subject that was funny because I didn't know that the school my mom enrolled me was a Chinese school here in Davao. That was really close because if I will not pass this subject I will be kick out from the school. By the time when I was in high school I dream of becoming a teacher, because I want to share what I know to people who are much unfortunate. But when I graduated, my parents decided that I will take Information Technology and it was tough. And now my time in college has come and I know this will be much more “hard work”to do everyday.…

"In this world, you either have an excuse or a story. I prefer to have a story" is the personal goal I have set for myself. This reinforces my belief in taking responsibility for the decisions of my life. Being the son of a scientist at DRDO, India, I have been fascinated about research and development since my early school days. I understand the importance of an accurate and precise instrument, no matter how small or big it is and also the worthlessness of the same in context of even a single human life. I achieved All India 25th rank in CIPEL Science and Mathematics Olympiad during high school life. I was awarded scholarship from my school for academic excellence and all round performance in co-curricular activities like quizzing, debating, singing et cetera from my 6th grade right up to 10th standard. I did a project on Analysis of various Indian Missiles in 8th Standard which gave me an insight into various propellant systems and thus got me interested into exploring the vast arenas of science and technology. In my senior secondary school at DAV Chandrasekharpur, I participated in a State Level Chemistry Exhibition and won the second prize. We had demonstrated manufacturing procedure of bio-diesel from used vegetable oil in a cost effective way. After passing out with 80% marks I chose Institute of Technical Education and Research, Bhubaneswar to pursue my undergraduate studies. Though I was adept in C++ programming in senior secondary level, I chose Applied Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering as my branch of studies to gain technical prowess in one of the most budding fields of research and development. I will, any day, rate practical skills far more important than theoretical know-how. Hence, as a fresher I was an active member of the college Robotics club and the Society of Automotive Engineers. As a sophomore, I represented my university at TECHFEST 2010 (IIT Bombay) and was awarded certificate of ‘Engineering Excellence’ in…
