"Every circuit is just a smoke machine waiting to be activated" -Jim SimonsI am currently an ambitious Electrical Engineering student who can't stop making mistakes. I keep failing (not my classes) and I will continue to fail as I try new things. But every time I fall short I learn from it, so that when I next fail, I will do so in a completely different way. This is what makes me stand out; when others are too scared to fail and aren't stubborn enough to face unsolvable problems, I will be actively bashing my head into that wall until the bricks collapse. I truly enjoy the information I am learning in college, and I can't wait to learn more! I come from a military family, and I'm so proud of my brother who recently graduated from the Air Force Academy. My dream is to one day work as an electrical engineer for the weapons and defense industry, so that I may have the chance to work along-side him. I don't just want to change the world with what I create; I want to change the lives of those around me for the better.I have been given too many gifts, both God-given and by those around me, to be satisfied with mediocrity. I know I am destined for great things.In terms of hobbies, I have tons of interests! I did varsity wrestling, volleyball, and tennis in high school, and I still love playing beach volleyball these days. I enjoy playing video games, reading, and I love painting Warhammer miniatures! Of course I also enjoy circuitry, and I love building funny projects, such as a recent bracelet that shocks you if you fall asleep in class! I'm an avid LEGO enthusiast, and I love to create media. If I had to summarize my hobbies, I'd say I love to tinker, and I love to create.
