I have always been passionate about environmental sustainability and am interested in pursuing a career in environmental engineering. Specifically, I would like to specialize in water resource management. I believe this field is critical in addressing important global issues such as water scarcity and pollution.

To best prepare for this field and my career goals, I plan to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering. I will also seek out internships and research opportunities to gain practical experience in water resource management. Additionally, obtaining certifications in areas such as sustainable design and environmental impact assessment will be beneficial in advancing my career.

In terms of funding my education, I plan to apply for scholarships, grants, and bursaries to help cover tuition costs. I will also work part-time during my studies to cover daily expenses and potentially reduce the amount of student loans I may have to take out. However, I am willing to take on a reasonable amount of student loans to invest in my education and future career prospects. I believe the potential long-term benefits of pursuing a fulfilling career in environmental engineering outweigh the short-term financial burden of student loans.
