Why did I do it? 

In my 6th grade year my teacher had told us "If you want to pass this class you will have to learn how to salsa dance". I did not want to do it at all. I was super anxious to do it.  But, surprisingly I manage to pick myself up and did it. I was really glad that I did it because I noticed that I had a lot of fun, even though I was nervous doing it. After awhile though I started to loosen up and feel more relaxed . I realized it was really fun and I had lots of fun!  I was really glad I did it. I'm not so sure what made me go up and start doing the salsa, but I'm glad I did.

The career that I pursue is one day that I hope to be an engineer some day. I want to become an engineer because I think that my skills will show best in that area. Also people seem like they enjoy their jobs in the engineering department. But there are certain things that we have to worry about as being an engineer. For example u can get injured during certain things while working.

The minimum requirements to becoming an engineer requires a bachelor's degree from a university accredited  engineering program. Engineering  also requires a bit of math involved with most engineering programs or similar  degrees. If you are trying to be an engineer expect to take the following courses; algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. you will also be expected to take a large variety of science coursework. University engineering programs require students to complete two years of high school algebra and one year of trigonometry for admissions.

The experiences that I can gain now to have more chances is I would have to focus more during classes and work harder for my goals. Also take more math classes and science classes. Ask people that have done this before. I can join math clubs to gain more math skills. Try to get some hands on experience.
