My love of science, technology, and innovation made going into engineering a natural choice. Concentrating on the sub-discipline of mechanical engineering was decided based on its broadness, versatility, and the variety of areas I could potentially be a part of. Last year, at the age of thirty-five, I enrolled into college for the first time; seventeen years had passed by since I walked the stage at my high school graduation. The dramatic lifestyle change I made was based on me looking to obtain…

The farmer had to keep the blade of the plow in the ground and had to be careful not to hit any large rocks, stumps or roots. Next, a harrow, a large rake-like object with rows of teeth, was pulled over the soil to break up the lumps and…

A few hours later and only a few lines to go before my cue, I head behind the curtain with the rest of rude mechanicals. Upon our entrance, the crowd laughs at Bottom preparing for his performance as the illustrious Pyramus from Pyramus and Thisbe. Since we speak in an invented language created specifically for the production, the audience understands the…
