Life With a Glass of Lemonade “When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.” This is a common saying because in life people have situations that come up and they just have to get through it the best that they can. To add to this saying, some try asking themselves, “What has gotten me to where I am today?” When someone begins to make decisions for themselves in life, they tend to find out what traits impact their life the most. My decisions in life have been greatly impacted by my passion and drive towards everything I do. My passion has taught me to appreciate all that has been done for me, be proud of everything I’ve done for myself, and most importantly, to never look back on mistakes made in the past. Those are the moments and times in ones life that lead them to where they will be and what they wish to do in their life. Some of the things that I’ve been through in life that have “shaped” some of my decisions in life go back to Elementary school. My teachers there helped me find that I loved math and dealing with mathematic problems.
Therefore, I’ve decided to continue my enjoyment of mathematics and great creativity skills in the engineering field. I hope to build and/or create something or many things that will help others in the world. My father once asked me what I wanted to do when I was older and I had never thought about it until he brought it up. I just thought to myself, “Hmm... what would I love to do in 30 years?” That’s when I realized how much I enjoyed math and I’m also pretty good at drawing, so designing was where I went from there. In my life there are many people who have driven my innovation, but by far, the person the drive my innovation the most is my dad. He has helped through any situation I have run into in life. Although he may not have the greatest advice sometimes, just talking to him about it helps me see around the problem or fix it or even how to flat out ignore it.
