I have always been interested in how things work and the source of problems in designs. I'm kind of the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type of person and didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. But then, when high school came, I went part-time to the local public school and took several PLTW (Project Lead The Way) and other engineering classes. Now I realize that I want to use my skills to help people in any way I can. My family is just your average, middle-class family in a small town, but they are supportive of anything any of my siblings and I want to do (this is probably why they allow loud instruments at most times of the day). Platteville is an awesome city with just enough amenities to feel comfortable with the traffic of bigger ones. It has great schools and mountain bike trails, too. My goal is to do the best I can do in any situation I find myself in.
