Ever since I was little, my ambitions made it hard for me to figure out what exactly I wanted to do. But there was always a pattern found in each of my dreams involving my future in a career, and it was that I was making some kind of impact on the world. I bounced around paleontology, political roles, and engineering. But then came a day when I saw something that changed my life after watching the movie Big Hero 6, and that was robotics. I saw how much a creative mind could change, and I was inspired. This led me to pursue any robotics activities I could. Inspiration has been a fundamental part of my journey in robotics since it is what has allowed me to learn, network, and create my own impact. One of my heroes who embodies this inspiration to me is Dean Kamen, who is a businessman, an inventor holding over 1,000 patents, and the creator of a program I hold dear, FIRST Robotics. What is inspiring to me about him is not all of the choices he made, but the things he invented and designed specifically to change the lives of many. He took the initiative to solve problems others wouldn't see potential or gain in to enable the disabled with the iBot wheelchair, hydrate those with limited access to safely drinkable water with the Slingshot water purification, and introduce convenient ways to travel with Segway electric scooters. Another inspiration of mine would be Hiro Hamada (yes the fictional character from Big Hero 6). He is a very talented robotics engineer but he had to learn where to use his intelligence. He faced struggles in his life that can make you steer from your path but ultimately, he chose to make choices for the better and meet new people who could help him along the way. He taught me how rewarding it is to overcome struggles, how inspiring it is to keep moving forward, and how cool robotics is all in one. A final inspiration of mine would be my parents. They always supported me and taught me things I needed to know to learn how to be an engineer, despite them not being official engineers. They taught me how to problem solve, work with a team, and always pushed me to pursue big things in my life. All in all, I wouldn't be where I am or have done what I have done without the work of my heroes. I thank them all.
