I have not decided on a career path yet, but I know that the field I want to pursue is either mechanical engineering or naval architecture. My interest in the subject came from my uncle and my dad. My uncle has a degree in mechanical engineering and owns a business that makes medical devices. I went to his lab every once in a while to see what he was working on and it always piqued my curiosity. my dad has his major in computer science and he has been working at smaller tech companies. also being part of my local robotics program helped me to start learning about engineering. I decided that I wanted to do something engineering-related after looking at a few colleges and experiencing robotics competitions. 

So far I have taken calculus to get ahead in math and AP physics. These will allow me to get ahead with prior knowledge for engineering class which is this class. The Engineering program from the tech center will allow me to the certifications that will allow me to get ahead in college classes and prove that I am capable of to employers. Engineering class will allow me to get a lot better at the engineering process and design problems. With this, I will be able to excel in all future courses that are required for a future career. I have learned lots of different drafting and about different programs and electronics. 

For clubs and extracurricular activities, I am a part of my local Robotics team The RoboBees. The RoboBees compete on the world level in FRC and I also Compete in NHRL which is a Large-scale Combat robotics. I have made it to worlds in combat robotics. First, some schools will give scholarships for robotics and it is a program that will give you lots of design and networking experience. my first job was working at a Sailing summer camp. I learned from this camp that talking and advocating for yourself is very important.

Once I Graduate High school I plan to go to a four-year college. This will be mostly for engineering like mechanical or another type. Currently, my plan will not change unless I go to a different style of school. After college, I plan to try to find a job on base or as a contractor.

Once I have achieved my goals I will probably find my local FRC or Robotics teams and volunteer as a mentor. I will try to keep doing combat robotics if there is time for it. I wish to be able to grow other kids to be able to compete and help them achieve their dreams in engineering fields. Hopefully, I can join a group that will make some life-changing device that will either help people heal or solve a world problem. I want to make sure anything I do will have a positive impact on the world.
