When I was little, I spent my afternoons imagining new cars, ships and all sorts of machines. I would then try to make it real by writing a detailed list of what the device would do and the materials I needed, drawing the shoes lingering in the back of my head, or digging into my art and K'Nex supplies to make a model of the ride I dreamt of. As I grew older, I realized that studying engineering would allow me to make a living by doing what I love.
