I am the kind of person that is always seeking knowledge, a slave to my own curiosity and a scrounger for something new. I have found this to be both a benefit and a hindrance in my life but have taken the positive outlook, growth. When I was a child curiosity got me into trouble, but, it also taught me lessons. I have taken those lessons and have built a life on them, but I have never stopped trying to improve upon them. Throughout my research and struggle to find the best way to reach my goal I have looked at many degrees, universities, and corporations. As previously stated I have decided to work towards a degree in environmental engineering. I have chosen North Carolina State University to be my optimal choice of education provider. However due to expenses and the lack of wealth in my family I have decided to play my cards the best I can. I am currently working to acquire my associates of science degree and then transfer to NC State.

As I aged I showed interest in multiple different areas, but I eventually found that engineering came easy to me. After taking the basic engineering courses my school provided I found that specifically mechanical engineering is the one that intrigued and excited me the most. While taking these courses the one thing that let me know that this career field is the one I was meant to pursue is seeing the engineer's mindset. Most of the other students that did not move on to the next course seemed to not think the same way as I did; this is even more evident in all of my other classes. This has become solidified further in my internship at Oseco; when working with the non-engineers it’s as if I were with an entirely different culture than when I go and work with the engineers on that site.
