=== Engineering Interest ===

My avid interest in engineering first began when I watched planes take off every weekend at a local airport with my dad. Every weekend, whether he it snowed or was nice out, he would take to watch planes take off and land. We had this book about planes that explained how planes worked in simple language. I would ask questions and my dad would patiently explain the science behind flight. Then we would go home and read books about NASA and flight.

Besides being infatuated with planes, I had many strong influences at home. My father introduced me early on to science fiction in all its various forms, especially those related to space exploration and discovery., My parents also believed in LEGOs, and I would build things for hours. We enjoyed the design and ingenuity aspects of the toy, and I feel that the toy truly helped us develop and refine creative skills, test our imagination, and learn the limitations of what could be built. These influences at home, learning about NASA’s successes, and the encouragement of my family lead me to a profession in engineering.
