My
entire life I have been pondering what I really wanted to do. I wanted to know what line of work
would truly make me happy for the rest of my life. I had been jostling over a few ideas but two always seemed
to reoccur in my thoughts. I was
always able to see myself doing those things for the rest of my life. One was an engineer; I had a particular
fascination with building things.
My blocks and Legos were undeniably my favorite of all toys. I loved to make things but hated to
take them apart. I would always
look at my creations and attempted to improve them anyway I could. For the majority of my life when a
person asked what I wanted to be when I grew up it was an engineer. I never knew what kind I wanted to be,
but an engineer I wanted to become.
By forth grade my mother even gave up on asking me what I wanted to be
she knew the answer was an engineer.
However, these aspirations would soon be shaken by the thought of
becoming a doctor. There were so
many great things about becoming a doctor. Helping people was always a good thing, it had a great
social aspect, and the money was not bad either. The problem with the doctor route was the massive amounts of
school, reading, and studying. I
was not a big fan of reading and I do not want to say I was smart but I never
had to study. I knew that that
long, studious journey would be exceedingly difficult for me. The event that shaped my career path
was discovering my aunt had multiple sclerosis.
