I became interested in becoming an engineer at a very young age. I say this because whenever I was finished with my homework or just bored I would ask my dad if he had any spare woods that I could design and build stuff out of it. I have always thought engineering would be perfect for me.
Before I graduate as an engineer I will need to complete the four required years of college. Then earn a bachelor's degree, which takes about an additional two years of college. Me becoming an engineer is the perfect career for me because you need to be very good in the courses of math and science, and I am currently enrolled in honors math and science.
This scholarship would really help me complete my dream of becoming an engineer. I have always had a big interest in designing and building since I was a little boy. I enjoyed watching my dad build a shed in our backyard. Sometimes my dad would even help design and build small bird houses.
All in all, winning this scholarship would really help my family and I achieve my goal and dream of becoming an engineer.
