All Passions Have a Past

Of all the things I enjoy doing, my favorite hobby is to create things. When I was a little kid, I would spend countless hours playing with little lego blocks creating all of the weird ideas popping into my head. Even though the sets came with instructions for pre-designed creations, I would leave them in the box and start to build wherever my imagination took me.
As I got older, my grandfather would take me into his woodshop and show me how all of his big machines worked. The same machines that buildt my parent's coffeetable and shelves in my room drived me to sneak into the woodshop without supervision and accidently cut my finger or hand. It was around this time that I knew I wanted to become an engineer when i was older.
In the 10th grade, I took a manufacturing class. This ended up being my favourite part of the day. I learned many things that I found really interesting in this class. From being a small kid who only saw brilliance in his colourful building blocks, to implementing various aspects of design into a 6" by 6" piece of aluminum steel. I have grown a lot, both physically and mentally. I only hope to keep doing so.
