My name is Sean Fruman and I am a current junior at Cornell University studying Mechanical Engineering. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, I developed several interests and passions, music being one of them. I love singing and playing the guitar, drums, saxophone, and oboe. I also love surfing, biking, staying active, and delving into film, history, and tech.
Being a engineering student in Cornell gives me the opportunity to explore these interests to a much broader degree. I am actively applying what I'm studying to being a member of the Cornell Mars Rover project team, and I am continuing my musical pursuits by being the guitarist for the Cornell Bissett Quintet Jazz Combo. I look forward to what other pursuits I explore and what differences I can make in the future.
Creativity. Creativity allows me to express myself in a way that words alone can't. Whether it is playing music, organizing and planning events and projects, or designing components and systems for my project team, I make sure to add a touch of my own creativity to whatever I do, as it allows me to mark my signature on them.
Gratification. When exploring my options, interests, and opportunities, choosing the ones that give me a sense of gratification is important to me. To me, gratification grounds me and helps me feel like myself the most. Additionally, doing things that bring me peace and serenity, such as going on long journeys or watching sunsets, makes me feel gratified, fulfilled, and at ease.
Spontaneity. Spontaneity is a core value of mine that relates to how I like executing plans the most: doing them in the moment. Sometimes, unpredictability and chances give me a thrill, and I am good at adapting to circumstances that change rapidly.
Openness. Openness to me is about having a clear mind to allowing myself to try new things. Being open to options, people, and choices, and not being conceited to them, helps me expand my network and tools. This is especially important in an environment like Cornell, with a diverse set of people, clubs, teams, and experiences waiting to be explored.
Restorative. For me, this is being skilled at analyzing different problems and finding ways to solve them. This strength mostly resonates through collaborative efforts, such as teams or projects. In the context of my project team's design reviews, during a team member's presentation of their system I like to point out potential flaws that I see, which leads to a collaborative discussion about how to fix it.
Empathy. This strength is important to me because it allows me to form strong bonds with other people in the sense that I'm able to call fellow colleagues my friends. I am able to put myself in other peoples' shoes and become self-aware about how I act in different contexts and situations.
Adaptability. I am good at being flexible with variable changes in schedules, workflows, and other parameters. I'd characterize myself as being quick on my feet and adjusting well to spontaneity. In a music related context, I am good at adapting to chord changes in a song that I'm improvising over on guitar.
I'm striving to be a skilled mechanical engineer in whatever field I end up pursuing. Mechanical engineering has captured my interest since I was very young, and delving into how different mechanical systems works always brought me a sense of gratification and satisfaction. Hence, I want to discover which particular fields of mechanical engineering resonate the most with me through obtaining different experiences, such as internships. A summer internship would allow me to potentially see what a future career would look like while doing something that stimulates my interests and grows my abilities.
I also am striving to be a leader and to practice leadership whenever I can. By eventually running for executive boards for the clubs and teams I'm in, such as my fraternity, I can reach my goal of being an effective leader by helping others reach their goals.
Additionally, I would like to expand my network of people, colleagues, and friends that could help me in the long run, and would give me the ability to help them as well. Maintaining relationships throughout and beyond college is important for having a list of people you can depend on for different aspects of your career. I am currently making sure that the relationships I form throughout Cornell can last such that I could one day call them fruitful partnerships. Having a diverse network of people is very important for these reasons.
