Contribution to Petroleum-based economy/I'm a geek;U Southern California(Engineering)

Hey,

Would love to get feedback on the following two essays. They're due today, so I really need to get them done as soon as possible. I would be happy to help back.

1) How do you plan to use your engineering degree to benefit society?

Coming from a country whose economy is petroleum-based, I want to employ my education in engineering to refine that wealth while also contributing to its development in other areas. I want to make Saudi Arabia less dependent on oil and explore other resources. By studying engineering at the University of Southern California, I can contribute in many of the newly-introduced industries in the country. I want to help the world, and my society is the place to start.

2) Some people categorize engineers as geeks or nerds. Are you a geek, nerd, or neither? Why?

From my perspective, the words "geek" and "nerd" are light-years away from one another. Nerd is used to describe a person who fails to maintain the proper balance between their academics and social life; putting their education as their top priority at all times. The result is usually a socially-awkward, highly-intelligent introvert. Geek, on the other hand, is used to describe a person who is holistic but has a passion for something peculiar. A geek is usually fairly balanced and socially-involved but still a bit quirky. They're the fun, more practical version of a nerd. Geeks have unusual interests or activities that distinguish them from their peers. They can be as ridiculous as wearing mismatched socks, or as common and run-of-the-mill as playing a first-person shooter. I, like most engineers, am a geek.

Dude you just described what nerd and geek is in the second essay instead of actually telling "why" you are one! Better cut down on their definitions and include why you are one of the two.

Hope you will look at my usc supplement too bro!!

On essay 1, add some specificities to your ideas. I feel like USC would be impressed if they perceived you already gave a lot of thought to your ideas for benefitting society. I like how you sort of focus your intentions on the place you've grown up. It gives it a lot of personality and substance

On essay 2, you have to answer the prompt =). Unfortunately, USC can look into a dictionary and find your essay. That's never good. Make it original, make it you. Give it some spunk!
