ever since i was a little kid i remember always loving to play with electronics and some type of gadget or device. You would not see me playing with toy soldiers or mini Trex's; No i was the boy who wanted to learn how the remote to the television worked. I'm not sure what it was, but buttons, lights, just anything electric fascinated me.

Once i grew up a little and understood the basics of computers or any type of electronical equipment if we had a problem with one of them my mom would ask me to look at it first before calling a specialist. This was when i was only 10 so i really couldn't fix much, but i always tried my hardest and sometimes i even succeeded my mission.

I remember the first thing i ever fixed was my old school Brick of a gameboy. The screen would not turn on and i did not understand why. Normally you would put new batteries in it and if it did not work... well then you'd trash it, but no, i wanted to fix it. I took the whole thing apart and looked inside. my eyes lit up with joy as i saw the green board and all of its components. Of course i had no idea what i was doing so i just started touching everything trying to see if something was loose. i happened to find one tiny wire that was a little out of place; i snapped it back into what i thought was the right hole and put the gameboy back together. IT WORKED! the screen went on and everything was in perfect working order. Who knows if i really did anything to fix it, but at the age of 10 i was the happiest kid on the planet.

Nowadays i have bigger tasks. When something goes wrong with the television, computer, microwave, toaster, or anything you could think of i am there to try and figure out the problem. Ive been able to successfully fix basically anything that comes my way and i am always excited when i get new challenges.

For the past few years ive been thinking about college a lot and the one thing that sticks out in my mind is engineering. I know that the University of Arizona has an amazing engineering program, and that is my sole purpose of applying to this college. There were many others that i have looked into, but ive done more than enough research to find that this is definitely the best school for me. With the amazing weather and town who would not want to attend this college. I know that if i Go to UofA i will graduate in the top of the engineering field because i have always been very determined to be the best that i can be. My motto is go big or go home, and i never go home. I hope to be accepted into this college so i can attend it in the fall 09 semester.


here is a mock up i decided to write right now... its about 500 words and obvisouly needs some work but i think its a start.

definetly not a tear jerker like jayjay had said.... but it is somewhat interesting i think?

ANY type of help is appreciated.
