• Common App: passion for making stuff. How engrossed I get in creating things (like my drone). How gratifying it is to be a teacher and a student of coding/robotics/electronics, both learning and sharing the knowledge. 

• Grandparents didn't have much educational support in India, so they had to self study and pursue it themselves. They showed me the value of education and risk taking. 

• Perseverance in making a drone and the drive to get it working and understand why it wasn't working. I was stuck for months until I got my first success. 

• Used coding skills to create a software for Kids Meals that optimized meal delivery to minimize stops, distance traveled, and gas. It felt good to contribute and leave a positive impact.

• The challenges faced after my house burned down. Everything I worked on was gone, but I saw it as a chance to make something new. I didn't dwell on the loss, and I came up with new projects that'd be cool to work on. 

• University programs that I was interested in because they combined programming with engineering. I want to apply concepts of code to tangible projects.
