      Hey,
      I don’t really know to be honest. Ive always enjoyed designing and making things. I think it’s cool that its possible to make things they can – think about it.. We can now send images and videos through the air instantly and for free. We can go into space. We can build things that are intelligent, but not have any basis in biology – this is like making a new type of life. We can make people who are paralysed walk again. We can make people who are blind see things again. All of this is crazy!! And if u decide to be an engineer these are things you can work on. Every day you can work on something new and cool and exciting that will make a real difference. It’s also possible for you to know really useful things nobody else knows.
      Or I could have become an accountant? Or banker? Spend my life in an office crunching numbers and typing into spreadsheets. What sounds better?
