    I chose my career path and interest in the Auto industry because I have always had an interest in cars, and anything that has to do with physical labor. I believe that this is one of the most critical aspects and parts of the world and how we function on a day to day basis. I chose UTI because their program really intrigued me and financially supported me due to the low tuition and what it had to offer in general, based off of classes and career paths. Not only was it the variety of paths that intrigued me but the way everything was set up and laid out was especially impressive with plenty of space and plenty of good vibes in the atmosphere. It is very eye appealing and impressive. I believe that my biggest influence came from my brother in law. He also pursued the same career and went through the BMW promise program where they gave him a job at a BMW dealership. Not only did he do well but he got offered a position at porsche and ever since his move to Porsche I have seen how much he was helped my sister and their family. It is very impressive and a great image to follow which I intend to pursue in hopes to reach the same ability and success as he has. I also have a car that I wish to modify. I have a Mazda 3 2009 2.0 liter, although it only has 4 cylinders, it is a super cool car especially considering how light it is and how agile it is. I want to add a turbocharge to it as well as add a new pipe for the exhaust. Even though it has 200,000 miles on it, it is a great car and a great experience overall driving it on a day to day basis. I also would like to modify the exterior as well the interior. I want to make it wider giving it fenders and skirts, I want to add a black lip to the front and a small spoiler on the back. I also would like to repaint the car itself as its color doesn't shine like it use to. For the interior I plan to change the steering wheel to a more sleek and pristine look. I would also like to add lighting inside the car and possibly change the radio to a touch screen. These are just some of my ideas for my car and any future car that I may receive. I appreciate everything I receive and try to make it 10 times better.

    I believe that we can improve the effects of DUI with multiple factors. For starters I believe that Bars should have access to peoples keys in a certain compartment where it can be kept safe. Any last call for alcohol should be accounted for and should have their customers wait at least an hour and thirty minutes after last call so there may be a better chance of them being sober. Police should be more spread around bar areas in case of a drunk driver as well, I believe having more police out near bars can help spot danger before the danger cannot be stopped. I also had an experience where some Friend of mine had a similar experience with their relatives or someone being involved in a DUI crash. I believe that alcohol should not be sold after a certain time for all places and not just bars. Limiting the time of when someone can get an alcoholic beverage at a earlier time will most likely decrease the risk of there being drunk drivers out at night.
