When I was a freshman, I took an engineering class not knowing anything about engineering. My teacher, Mr. Chubb, was also a mentor. He asked us to research the different types of engineering to see which field interested us. When I read about biomedical engineering, I knew that was the type of engineering I'd like to do. It includes designing robotic prosthetics to help people with physical disabilities overcome their challenges. Mr. Chubb encouraged us to join our school's robotic team to design and compete with robots. Competing was fun and exciting. From then on, I knew engineering was for me.
