My mind is full of fascinations that nobody could not
understand. I somehow see minor details which no one would
consistently consider as a significant matter, but I neglect main valuable things. For me the gratification of building is to view its design and structure. I am not able to realize when it is happened and why, but I have became ones who is addicted. My awareness of building houses and choosing selected materials came from renovation of my new house when I was 11 years old. Whilst my father started construction, I escaped from hard work and played outside with my peers. When I first glanced how my father intensively worked alone, my body automatically moved towards him why does it due to ? I don’t have answer. I initially measured the lengths of mold and utilized my analytical skills for creating appropriate basement for house. After I learned how to make mixture for filling the mold, using all my power to mix cement with water and sank. I believed that I will be exhausted; however, this time my prediction was wrong because I felt sense of persistence to work hard even under pressure. But one thing was weird to me, it is why we firstly filled mold form with glass of bottles, stones and after with the mixture-“I don’t know” I left with unanswered questions. As an unconscious child, I thought my power lies in my physical abilities because I was bigger and stronger than my peers, but my power hided more than just my strength. I realized it when began participating in arm-wrestling school tournaments. I had one strong opponent who is physical abilities was better than me. It wasn’t a trigger of giving up, and I sought the best possible way of winning. I began intensive training with heavy weights and ate many foods for gaining a weight, fully devoting myself. Despite all the efforts, I couldn’t go out my perceived limits. As I sat down, my mind entered the picture of winning and getting a reward. At this moment, I didn’t even clarified my visualization skills because winning was the main ambition. After visualizing, I got the power to continue and push myself to be better. What happened with tournament? I can just say I lost competition… I acquired main qualities like industriousness and leadership, teamwork as they are required and vital for my dream career. It happened when regional football tournament between senior grades started. As a versatile student who prepared to various competitions, I joined in a football team just for fun without any special goals. Our coach appointed me as a main defender because I have careful recognizing and immediate decision- making skills. In this tournament all went smoothly we reached a semi-final but at the beginning of this match our captain got injured, and whilst leaving the stadium, he handed over his captain armband to me. I glanced to my team, they were tired and did not have any emotions for conquer the competition. I got responsibility for results of matches, making immediate decisions and motivating the team whenever we fail completely, delegating duties when it is necessary. We didn’t ever give up, but I could not score a main goal and we got second place, it was awful even under pressure. My thoughts flied through my mind such a horrible nightmare but it wasn’t important cause my team was happy with this reward. My ambition formalized from the subjects that made my life marvelous. During the last 4 years my level in physics advanced in high degree level, making it an irreplaceable part of my daily routine. My personality and skills, subjects are devoted to be a part of life-changing progresses. My enthusiasm towards my aim is not just interest, it is the inspiration why I am happily looking forward to the future to be the best civil engineer.
