Ever since I was young and saw many amazing cars, I’ve always had a deep passion for them. I looked at car and engine related research all day and every day. While I do love cars, I really love a specific part of them… the engine. I’ve always looked at the engine as a work of art and think it’s amazing how they perform. Once I started getting more serious about cars, I bought one. I didn’t just buy a car that was perfect, I bought a vehicle that I could work on. I put in many hours of research on my car, how to make it look amazing and the best it could be. Then, I took that research and put it into reality. I’ve worked on this car which started out to be just okay and now I have made it into something that I am really proud of. It looks amazing and drives better than I ever thought. By working on my own car, it makes me feel honored to say that it is my work and time that I put into this vehicle. I have never felt so passionate and dedicated to something in my entire life. I feel like if I concentrate on my studies and achieve a high GPA I will understand the material and excel in my field.

I tried to excel with high honors even in my extracurricular activities. In the community, I lead by teaching young and old students of martial arts after school. I lead the class and teach them what they need to know so they can succeed in their martial arts career. It’s important to have good leadership skills in order to earn a 4th degree black belt. I began when I was 6 and have continued 11 years to achieve this. To be able to have such an achievement, you must have many good traits like dedication, courage, and discipline, but it’s most important to stand out from the crowd and be you. One doesn’t have to lead anything to be known as a leader. If they don’t follow the crowd and make decisions on their own, then that would make a person a leader. I don’t decide something just because someone else did. I look at what is best for me. If I know I made the right decision in my mind, then that is what I’ll stick to.

I have many career goals for my life. I hope to graduate from Pennsylvania College of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in automotive technology and business management. Then, I hope to get to work at a mechanic shop or automotive performance shop. I hope to work myself up to a good position. I will try very hard to make a good name for myself in the community. After getting a lot of experience and additional knowledge in my field, I plan to open my own performance engine/vehicle workshop where I will manage my business and make it a place where customers can expect honest and great work.
