    During the summer of my Sophomore year of High school I worked to earn money for a car and to pay for gas. Cars aren’t cheap and I worked hard for it and there were many bumps in that road. But me personally I love puzzles and thangs that make you think outside the box so naturally I have a different perspective of an initial problem. To have experience is also a great thing to have also if you run into a problem that happened a while back. Ways that help me solve these predicaments is to piece it out if possible and to conquer it. But, if there isn’t any way to break it down than that means it’s common sense. The issue with common sense among people is that it’s different throughout everyone and they’re experience’s. The good part is that we learn from them. One thing that got me was how to put a small engine back together with all the bolts, washers, locking rings, gaskets, ETC. That’s where I learned piecing it out is the most effective. To break a big bite into manageable bits. This way of thinking alone has saved me from making big mistakes and to solve it through trial and error. If I had money to help me get the right tools and parts for things that would take a huge chunk out of everyday problems. To narrow that down, robots will give you a headache if you don’t know how to code or are just learning. This being said the lack of knowledge about something can cause you problems. To use that money to educate myself on how to do advanced things. Someone who runs into this issue knows there is someone who has an idea of how to piece this together. With all of the systems in manufacturing these days it’s hard to not have something go wrong and cause a headache. All we can do is make it a more efficient process. To live life without a challenge wouldn’t be called “life” at all in the negative tone it’s known as. Without a challenge we have no reason to innovate or to fix anything. Challenges is what gives people jobs, it’s just whether you’re smart enough to accept it and conquer it that makes it great. In my family we call it “jerry rigging” or “ MacGyver “ when you make something totally unconventional work to your advantage. Let’s say the hood on your car won’t latch. I’ll stick some bailing wire down there and make it latch. Innovation with just anything can turn into something that benefits you. It always gives me ideas and things that I could possibly invent.
