=== Engineering Interest ===
I chose Mechanical Engineering because it is the background of many astronauts and space professionals, I enjoy the intricacies and applications of machinery, and I like design.
I consider myself fortunate to be interested in science and engineering, but that is only because of my family, friends, teachers, and co-workers who have helped show me the full potential of these fields. Sadly, many children growing up in the US have no idea of the true meaning and importance of science and engineering. This is especially true for many of the girls because they don’t get encourages enough to go into STEM careers since they are mainly for boys. As a result, one of my favorite things is being a part of Society of Women Engineers to help young girls realize STEM fields are not just for men. Also, the Society of Women Engineers creates a good support system for all the girls studying to be engineers and create many opportunities to succeed in the industry.
