 Why I want to an Engineer? This question might be easy to answer, but for me I do not even
know why I am currently taking an engineering degree. Maybe, the reason I am here is because of my
father’s influence. When I was a young boy, my father told me that if he can go back to past he would go
to college and be a successful civil engineer today; but extreme poverty prevented it. So as return for
raising me, I told myself that I should be a civil engineer in the future so that my father would be proud
of me. As I wrote this, I remembered I used to play a mini game on a keypad phone on which it stacks a
block to a form a building. I was fascinated on that game that I wanted to know how or what are the
processes to build a high-rise building. As I grow up, I continued to hone my mathematical skill because
my uncles, primarily worked as a construction worker, told me that to be an engineer you need a good
foundation in math. I recalled that it is because I want to be my uncles’ boss, I dreamt of becoming a civil
engineer. Unluckily, I really sucked at English and greatly affected my PUPCET score, hence, I was not
able to be a CE student. Even though I currently a Railway Engineering student I am still yearning to be a
successful Civil Engineer. In conclusion, I think I now know why I want to be an engineer; it is my
curiosity on how the structures were made and I feel like my heart really belongs to the construction
industry.
