         the coming Summer, I stumbled across RSI. First from my science teacher, then my research sponsor, and finally from
         my own Google feed, RSI was everywhere I looked. The more I researched, the more I realized that RSI was the perfect fit for me.

+        For the past year and a half, my passion has been in the field of signal processing, machine learning, and 
+        autonomous robotics. My research on Parkinson's disease and robotics team
+         have opened my eyes to the potential of these fields, and RSI allows me to connect with world-class mentors
+        who can help me push the boundaries of my knowledge. For example, Professor Lizhong Zheng's recent publication 
+        on ``Configuring RNN Weights'' closely aligns with my own research on signal processing for 
+        Parkinson's disease. Dr. Zheng's signal processing-based approach to to configure RNN weights 
+        mirrors my own research in making biLSTM attention blocks biologically relevant.
+        By joining RSI, I am eager to learn from the expertise of Dr. Zheng and other domain-experts that 
+        share the same passion I do for the fields of signal processing and machine learning.
+        When I saw that RSI provided this opportunity for me to advance my own research with domain experts,
+        I knew that I had to apply. Robotics, AI, and signal processing are the thoughts that keep me 
+        awake at night — RSI is where I can finally pursue them.\\\\
