The Dinner of My Dreams by Adam

The Dinner of My Dreams by Adam - February 2016 Scholarship Essay

If I could sit down and have dinner with any historical figure to ever live, I would most certainly choose Albert Einstein. Einstein is one of the smartest people to ever live, and that inspires me to always be my best whether it comes to school or just daily decision making. Einstein was filled with many revolutionary ideas and theories. His brilliance in math and science is so motivating because those are my greatest subjects whenever it comes to school. I plan on going to college to study aerospace engineering, and I am sure I will cross paths with a few of his theories along the way.
Einstein is a highly regarded figure in the world of physics. He came up with a special theory of relativity. I would love to sit down with him, and talk to him about his impact he had on science today. I would like to ask him more about his personal life, and his refugee status that he had because of where he came from. I would like to know what life was like back then, and how he feels that he contributed to the world as a whole with his theories.
Ironically, Einstein’s theory of relativity was just completely proven yesterday. The very last piece of that theory was just proven true. I’m sure he would love to hear how he was right about everything all along regardless of the numerous people that doubted him for so long. I would like to hear what is was like to receive a nobel prize. That must have been such a unique experience to accomplish. I would talk to Einstein about what his school life was like when he was growing up. I wonder what it would be like to be such a standout like that.
Most importantly, I would love to sit there and talk to him about what I can do with my life in order to strive to be intelligent like that. No one will ever be as intelligent as him, but I would love to feel accomplished in life just like he was. With the degree that I will be chasing, I am going to have to have a lot of the same knowledge that he had when it comes to physics and mathematics. I want to be able to apply that knowledge to my life, and be able to figure out theories like he did. What steps do I need to begin to take with my life in order to try to be more like him whenever I get older. The numerous honors and achievements that he was able to accomplish are the things in life that students can only dream of. I would love to die a widely known and respected man like Albert Einstein was.
