Introduction I would describe myself as an engineering enthusiast, and have wanted to create things ever since I can remember. While it’s really hard to pin-point exactly why I’ve always wanted to become an engineer. I love the engineers give a purpose to mathematics and science, and use them to create the tools of our world. I want to experience the intellectual challenges engineers face.

While I’ll concede that severe stress is very hard on the body, and thus health; the feeling of anxiety is what motivates a lot of people including me. The real challenge is not letting stress overwhelm, and that’s something I’ve gotten pretty good at. Whenever I feel overwhelmed with anxiety I’ll take a 10 to 15 minute break and eat an apple or banana. This is a technique I have used for a while now and it works every time without
