not sure when I decided but I have always wanted to major in mechanical engineering. I knew I wanted to take up engineering for a long time, I took a drafting class in hs and really liked it. I was always fairly strong in science and math, plus I like hands on work and creative thingking. how I got mechanical engineering I am not sure, I do remeber thinking everyone is doing something with computers so why not do this and be different, or soemthing like that
I did have my doubts last year as i struggled with classes and some personal stuff. I thought about what I would do if I wasn't an engineer and I had thoughts about music or business or something I realized they wern't for me and that engineering was the only thing for me
I do beleive that alot of this is because of my father. He is a machinist and i have spent alot of time at home helping him. Also his love for cars and my want to help out has put me were I am today. So if a child is to except the chance to do better then their parents, which parents often work and hope for, being an engineer would be a good move for me, and it is proving to be a good choice
