Scholarship Essay Entry – Cristian C.

We live in a society that moulds us from the second we awake into the consciousness of life. It is able to create dreams and desires that are truly immaterial to our inner selves as human beings. Desires that are often too self-contained that we lose the love and touch that we truly desire in the end. The well-being of others and a community's capacity to provide for themselves, help themselves and resolve problems for themselves is an essential necessity for humans.

Right now in order for human beings to continue to evolve would require another enlightenment period, another re-evaluation of ethical questions which have significantly changed over the past century, and even the last 50 years. With all this in our regard, I also firmly believe there are certain technological advances that would be important for making everyone's lives easier and for equating everyone's standard of living. For this reason, I am currently entering my fourth year of Engineering Physics, Nanotechnology Option -  a program which works in developing the latest technological advances. I hope to bring to this world something revolutionary, something that will truly change everything. Perhaps it will be a new renewable, cheap source of energy that anyone can harness for themselves, perhaps it wont. It will be this new spiritual and technological revolution that I will try to create. The world needs this change to happen, and I know many people that want to help out but they don't know how. I will try and help pave the way with a totally open mind for new ideas, and along with the help from others we will make this work. This is how I will change the world.
