SOP: Statement of Purpose

I am Andrew Soebagio, from Indonesia. I’ve been a student at North for about a year and a half now. I’m planning to graduate from North this upcoming fall, with an AS degree. A major that I have in mind is Petroleum Engineering; hopefully this plan will stick with me till I graduate.

Reading after the poetry “Be The Rain” by Neil Young, and “Young People” by David Suzuki. Two author want to show the point is to remind readers must change our ways in order to save the environment. And the most important for saving the environment is to change people’s thought, make people accept the way to saving the environment. In poetry “Be The Rain” by Neil Young, author wants to tell readers even most of people are destroying the environment, the government don’t care about the environment.

Everyone in my generation has probably grown up seeing ads or watching videos about pollution or about the environment in general, so much, to the point that these constant reminders about protecting our planet are already part of the norm for us. While these reminders have had positive effects, like how more and more people have become informed of the Earth’s condition, many people, myself included, still remain indifferent to the threats our environment faces. I won’t lie; I’m no saint or crusader for the cause, but every now and then certain videos or articles strike a chord within me and makes me reflect on the way how I’ve been living affects the environment. One such article was the one we read last week in class, “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert in the Upfront magazine.

I am privileged to return to the work environment at Northwell Health to further broaden my knowledge of the emergency room as well as the complexities involving a hospital system. Prior to my job as an Academic Associate, I had no exposure to administrative tasks, and simply assumed I lacked the aptitude to complete the necessary duties. Yet, from working with physicians to plan continuing medical education conferences and grand round series, I see how I am able to incorporate my interpersonal and organizational skills to coordinate these conferences.

It is a fact that people in different parts of the world have already experienced and realized the detrimental effects of their activities where they live. As much as people do not like to live in a dirty city, they are concerned to cut down all the forests and to poison the entire potable water. The governments of different countries together with businesses are ready to implement and fund programs to restore and preserve the environment, but the difficulty lies in the fact that different countries, like people, have different levels of understanding and implementation of these actions. Mahatma Gandhi said: “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” It is not difficult to understand, that the main geneses

At first, I was taking the environment for granted. Now, I am able to talk to people in my community on conserving and sustaining the environment like, proper ways of managing waste, following sustainable agriculture, avoiding clearing forest and avoid poaching to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem.

Along with my love for the environment came a pain in watching it suffer around the world as human development encroached onto once untouched regions. I felt powerless and desperate to somehow use my individual influence, no matter how small, to slow the damage to the planet and lessen the impact a growing population was having as we dive deeper for resources.

To pursue for my career goal, I focused on science subjects in high school. Unfortunately when I finish high

The speaker demonstrated his endearment for the environment, desiring for his readers to develop awareness and consideration for the endangerment of the environment. The speaker wanted his message to be heard around the world, as he continued to work on awakening the consciousness of his reader’s minds to the prevention of the deforestation from spreading to other areas in our

The American government is not only well-established but ensures that strict and proper laws that it writes will be practised by all the citizens. In other hands, Nepali government is struggling to practice strict rules and regulations and is still in the rug-rat phase. In like manner, pollution is often checked annually and regulated in America along with vehicle safety in most of the states. Unfortunately, in Nepal, an unplanned look at Nepal’s surroundings show a carefree attitude of citizens and the government of the country towards environment conservation and

Environmental issues are not restricted to specific regions, but are global and this makes tackling them even more difficult. Problems such as rising pollution levels, climate change phenomena and resource depletion threaten to ruin our future if unchecked. Water, soil and air pollution have been responsible for many illnesses and fatalities all over the world. It has been estimated that approximately 12.6 million people died as a result of living or working in unhealthy environments. Access to safe and clean energy is another challenge the world is facing today. Many rural regions in India and many other countries still lack access to usable energy. Since my early days in college, I have made an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of these problems. My love and passion for the environment grew as I kept learning and as a student of engineering, I was determined to come up with solutions to these environmental challenges. This is what drove me towards the field of Environmental Engineering.

" A girl wading through mountains of trash; a boy up to his neck in toxic waters…." Delhi is a place in India and is currently suffering from pollution. Children aged 5 and under are dying from the pollution In Delhi. I am very appreciated by our country we live in because compared to Delhi they have piles of rubbish everywhere you walk, it's not nice to walk somewhere and all you see is rubbish; with all the rubbish it makes the air more polluted, which then leads to diseases. There is not a lot health care and they don't have money to help the sick and wounded so more likely to get and infections or diseases. With all the pollution in the air it does not help because it only makes it worse with not a clean city/country. India "…is estimated to be the world's most polluted city." Which made me feel sad because people at the age of 5 and under are dying from the pollution around them, children are being born around the polluted city and not having the full start to a healthy life. When I was reading this article off National Geographic it made me realise how grateful I am to be in New Zealand and not have to suffer from pollution everywhere I go. Delhi people not just suffering from pollution but also the deficiency of water which shows me that their city is in a very bad situation and that makes me heartbroken because everyone should have a good life to live and not have to start their life in a bad situation. Our society is thinking that just because our country is

This essay will review two significant environmental experiences I have encountered exploring the influences of these my life and how these have altered my view on what is environmental sustainability. An examination into these two experiences will follow into reviewing my perspectives on environmental sustainability and how these two experiences influenced this. To conclude a discussion on my role as a teacher and how this will impact myself when in the classroom.

Environmental problems are something which belongs to nature or known as “Mother Earth” [13]. Nature was created to help people survive from gathering foods until build a house. This phenomenon happens continuously without thinking how much damage that nature has because human’s fault. Nature gradually becomes worse and animal’s life in danger. People who are aware of the importance of nature react. Those people do several ways to save the environment. Although these efforts can return back the environment, these efforts only can be hold temporarily. This problem happens because those people who are aware of the environment only slightly; for remaining, there are people either do not know or do not care about the nature. People’s efforts
