Meet Marisela

I expect to be within a thriving community where I can learn from others and express my ideas. Being a part of the Noblitt Scholars program will provide me with insight to reach my future aspirations. I expect to gain valuable opportunities, which will guide me to realize my own goals. I hope to see my ideas broadened and influenced by a strongly ambitious environment. All the while, I hope to build upon my questions and make diverse connections.

During my free time, I am drawn to learning different languages. I enjoy working on improving the three languages I have learned. While grammar rules are delicate in any language, I enjoy stumbling upon my different mistakes and being able to correct flaws on my own. I have found beauty in language. The way different permutations are able to be pieced together to formulate original ideas fascinates me. Through language, I have grown immensely, and I am always working on growing further.

I often find myself reading about different mobile applications. I gather information from already invented programs to understand the fast-developing processes of mobile application designs. I find inspiration within daily activities to create corresponding applications. Though I have only made app prototypes on my computer, my now-hidden hobby may help others in the future.

I hope for the knowledge I gain from Rose-Hulman to lead me to reach my own entrepreneurial goals. With the opportunities from Rose-Hulman, I will be guided toward making innovative discoveries. I hope to become a leading mechanical engineer who reliably finds the most potent solutions for the community. The knowledge I gain will allow me to properly take into consideration the needs of the people and the environment. I hope to create durable technologies for modern issues while helping protect the environment. Within any invention I create, I hope to not only address a community's technological needs but to better the environment anytime my inventions are used. I hope to gather visionary ideas to work toward a satisfied community and against pollution and climate change.

I knew Rose-Hulman was for me the second I heard about the school's mission. Rose-Hulman's emphasis on broad study experiences and leadership development assured me I would form valuable skills and connections. The educational efforts and highly qualified staff stood out to me, unlike any other school. I knew Rose-Hulman's focus on inclusiveness would allow me to feel welcomed and to form diverse relationships. I instantly knew Rose-Hulman's mission for students was to guide towards ambitious success. In a place where everyone possesses high determination, I knew I would fit right in.
