and set out what I want to be in life. My ambitions are to obtain an athletic scholarship for football, to help pave the way to becoming a civil engineer. It will be a bumpy ride along the way, but I can propel myself to achieve anything. I anticipate though sports such as football, can fund for my schooling to become a civil engineer. If I have a phenomenal upcoming season I can hopefully get recognized by athletic scouts and receive a full ride scholarship to a university. Though

made a stereotype of the working engineer. This is a person who spends ten hours straight in front of his computer, making some strange graphs and calculations. He is afraid of sunlight and spends his free time inventing the time machine. When people try to start a conversation he says that he has a lot of work to do and tries to run away as fast as possible. This picture may be a little exaggerated, but it is how media and television draw it. But today, engineers need communication and writing skills
