I have chosen to pursue mechanical engineering as my career. I have always been drawn to learning how things work and coming up with creative solutions for problems. Lastly, my love for golf and interest for golf club design has pushed me towards choosing this as a career. I have known that i want to be an engineer since i was a kid and i heard the stories about what my sister did in her engineering classes in Highschool. 

So far i have taken classes such as Intro to Engineering and design, PLTW classes, Computer science, and i am currently enrolled in the engineering program at the James A. Forest Career and Technology Center.  I chose the engineering program at the tech center to assist me in obtaining my dream to be a mechanical engineer. I have learned the engineering and design processes as well as how to sketch and prototype designs. I have also learned about the math involved with sketching and planning a design. 

I have participated in Highschool golf which has taught me important things about leadership and teamwork. During the past 2 seasons i have played varsity golf i have learned the importance of leadership and working towards goals. This past and current year, as one of the better skilled and experienced players on the team, it was important for me to lead by example. This included demonstrating proper etiquette and respect for others and the course. Golf has also taught me the importance of setting goals for yourself to work towards. Through each and every practice i work towards the next match, then the next one, and the next one.  And the season long goal is to qualify for the state tournament. 

I have worked at a golf course in Ocean City that taught me how to interact with customers and what good customer service is. I currently work for MWR and NRC Solomons as a rec aid. I have learned how to put on events and programs for people and families to enjoy. 

After i graduate high school i plan on attending a 4 year university to play collegiate golf and to study mechanical engineering.  It has been my life ling dream to play golf competitively in college and i enjoy engineering and want to learn more about it.  My plan may change with time depending on what i want to do with my life and where i want to go. 

After achieving my career goal i hope to solve issues in my community and improve the lives of many people. I hope to have a positive impact on society and to change it for the better. I hope to impact the world by showing others that they can achieve their dream if they put their mind to it. I will have a positive impact on the world and i hope that my contributions make a lasting difference.
