Profile Essay

Right now I am only a math major, but next year I am going to declare physics as another major so I will be double-majoring.  I'm not majoring in math because I enjoy it.  The only reason I am still taking math is so I can do the complex math that is required when I get to the upper-level physics courses.  My dream job would be to work at NASA.  A lot of people think we know a lot about space, but we really don't know much of anything.  Space is full of surprises.  It is always changing and thinking of more ways to confuse us.  I just want to be the one to finally solve the mysteries.
Some people I would enjoy writing a profile essay about are Michio Kaku, Brian Greene, Stephen Hawking, and Albert Einstein.  All of these people had the same goal as me which was to finally figure out the way things really are out there.  Michio Kaku is a very well known physicist who wrote many books on string theory, parallel worlds and other controversial topics.  Brian Greene is a professor of physics who wrote the best-seller The Elegant Universe.  Stephen Hawking, whether crazy or just a genius, has inspired many people with his wild theories about space.  Albert Einstein forever changed the way we think about space.  His famous equation is still the most one of the greatest advancements of all time. 
Aside from the topic of space, I am also a big reader.  I would also like to do a profile essay on the writer Mark Danielewski, who wrote the book House of Leaves.  My friend had been telling me about this book for a long time, but I never had time to read it.  Recently though, I finished this book and was inspired by it.  House of Leaves was by far the best, most bizarre book I ahve ever read.  There is not a single sentence in that book that Danielewski did not pick carefully and that does not have a bigger meaning.  Just to give an idea of how weird this book is, it was published in 2000 and there are still active forums today that have thousands of postings talking about what specific parts of the book meant and in general what the book was about.
