My Dream
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
As a child, I would often play a game of pretending to be something I wanted to be. I would pretend to be a teacher, a doctor, a nurse, a pilot, a scientist, a veterinarian, would pretend to be an astronaut, and the list goes on, there was even a point in my childhood when I wanted to be a pirate. An engineer was never a part of the list of what I wanted to be. I don't know why it was not included; it just never was. You might wonder if I never did want to become an engineer as a child, then why do I want to become an engineer now? The answer is A twist of fate. Engineering was not really part of my plan. I wanted to pursue education. My first plan is to be like my mom to be a teacher, but deep down inside I know that's not what I want. And then I ask myself, what is really I want. Then that's when I realize my love for math and how I was always amaze about infrastructures and amazing buildings that are being made today. That when I realize that in the future, I wanted to also make infrastructures, buildings, houses and I also wanted to be the one to solve the flooding problem here in our country. This is why I am now pursuing to becoming an engineer. Time has flown. Things have changed. If you ask me before if I want to be an engineer, my instant answer would be a no. Now, I cannot imagine myself studying something else. Engineering has open up my world. It has made me realize that all the things around us are possible because of marvellous science and engineering. From transportation systems; building designs; electric, water and gas delivery technology; machines which produces our food and medicine and many more; our lives are made easier by engineers. Our modern world is composed of engineer's pursuit to help mankind to live better. Someday hope that would be the one contributing ideas on how to improve our world. Why do I want to be an engineer? It is simply because I want to be one of the world's creators.




Sometimes I ask myself if I was who I wanted to be, or will I be who I want to be but I believe that I can be whoever l'd like to be. My road to become an engineer may seem bumpy and my journey may be slow, but I do have faith that I would reach my destination in that given time.
