When did I know I wanted to be an Engineer?

Hey CCEFP, So when did I know I wanted to be an Engineer? That's a great question. It all started when I was younger and coming home from school I'd watch my grandfather work on cars. Occasionally I would lend a hand and watch him assemble parts, and modify items to get them to properly work. Over the years as my grandpa became unable to work on cars as much I slowly began to have an appreciation for everything he did. Watching him measure fluids and repairing a junk car was simply amazing. However it just wasn't my grandpa who I am thankful for getting me into Engineering. It's also been my brothers, whenever I needed something that required taking apart, they were always the first to bring out the saws, drills, manuals, and often time just rig something to work. I'll never forget a few days before the football season started I needed a saftey neck collar. I ordered one online and to my disappointment it didn't fit. My oldest brother Tony brought out screws, measuring tape, and staples to make it work. I was simply inspired by everyone. Finally I decided to pursue my dreams, and proud to say I am Engineering student, the first of my family. While the road hasn't been the easiest, it's been rewarding.
