The great Chinese philosopher Confucius
once said that “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in
your life”. In order for this to be possible, career must align perfectly with
personality.
I come from a hard-working family; my
father is a mechanic/fabricator, which is where my complete and utter
exuberance for the field came to be. I had watched him with great admiration
since I was very young, which had a great influence on my personality. Watching
attentively to every little thing he did, I developed a fascination to learn.
This world is so big and has so many different things to learn, how could you
not look upon it with reverence? Specifically, I loved to do anything in which
I could work with my hands, and it seems that through the course of my young
years it has rooted into somewhat of an obsession, which has benefitted me
greatly in obtaining the skills of the trade. Finally, I developed a keen
vision of how things are put together, how they move, and so on and so forth.
In choosing my career it was
essential that all of my personality and skills be satisfied. That is why I
decided to become a Mechanical Engineer: a field of work that will allow me to
work with my hands on a daily basis, develop new ideas, and challenge my mind
in such a way that will guarantee continuous opportunities for learning. The
high school classes I have taken that have to do with this field (i.e.
Calculus, welding technology) have confirmed this decision and allow me to wake
up every day, excited about my future.
