First Post!

So I am basically testing out how to make posts on this thing and I thought that I would post about my header because I could write it in 5 minutes then work on classes that I have tests for on Friday. I really hope that a lot of you are able to recognize the flying blue phone box on my header, but in the event that you don’t, the box is called the TARDIS. It’s off of my favorite scifi show, Doctor Who. There are many reasons to why I have it as my header. For one, who wouldn’t want a picture of a ship that moves through both time and space?! There’s also the fact that I’m obsessed with DW (Doctor Who) and the fact that it has an awesome picture of space in the background. However the main reason that I wanted to share with everyone is that it inspires me.

I know this may sound a little nerdy, but things like DW and other forms of scifi have always inspired me. My main goal in life is to be a great engineer and I sometimes wonder how I would have turned out if I hadn’t always been so attracted to scifi. What if I had been more into “girly” things like fashion? Would I be at a different school learning about fashion design? What if I had been more into crime dramas? Would I be studying law right now?

At any rate, I fell in love with scifi and I honestly believe that if I hadn’t I wouldn’t be as happy with my current choice in life as I am. When ever I see any futuristic devices I wonder how they work. I wonder how close we are to making these beeping, blinking, magical things and wonder if the work I want to do in the future will help make it possible. I believe one day we will have hover-boards, amazing mech suits, force fields, teleports, and maybe even lightsabers. I just hope I will be able to contribute to making a sonic screwdriver.
