When I was a in third or fourth grade, I remember the day when I was sitting in the backseat of my car and I realized I had a picture of a green class bowl that I Mom would serve dinner in often. It was a milestone for myself because I realized that I could view the bowl in its entirety. I rotated, flipped, and examined the bowl in my mind’s eye with ease. Ever since then, I take the world apart piece by piece examining, trying to understand how everything works.
I have built robots, hovercraft models, fixed cars, farm equipment, dabbled with welding and in the end have become an all around handyman. This is the reason why I want to become an engineer. I have grown up. As exciting as it is to explore the world around me, I am no longer curious only to understand what I see. I want to answer my what-if questions now. I want to create the world around me.
