What is Engineering?
Bonus Question for Later: What do the letters STEM stand for?
Wikipedia Defines Asthe application ofscientific,economic, social, and practical knowledge in order toinvent,design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials andprocesses.the application of science, mathematics, and knowledge in general to problem solving and all forms of creation.Which Basically Means

Knowledge is Power.
its alL worth it
Luck = preparation + Opportunity
A vaguely relevant timeline of Semi-Relevant eventsWent to Disney World. Was pretty great.Started Martial Arts. Best decision.Started playing video games. Worst decision.Got in to WY. New best decision.Dog died. Still hear him walking through the house.Lost some old friends.Gained some pretty awesome new ones.Got into K-Pop. New worst decision.Young Justice got canceled. Still mourning.Didnt fail chemistry.Finished Harry Potter series. Still emotionally compromised.Graduated. Still not real.Didnt fail first semester of college.Was born.Almost failed chemistry.
step 1: Prepare
Things You can do nowLearn. A lot. Anything you can.Think about the future.Explore the world around you.Found out what interests/inspires/drives you.Dont neglect other important skills.But dont forget about the core (math and science).Learn how to play nicely with others.Try your best in school.Ask questions.
Things You can do laterTake four years of math and science in high school.Dont forget about the English classes.Or the humanities.Or the arts.Just try a bunch of different things.Experience a bunch of different things.Do your research.Shop around.Take the initiative.
Step 2: Look out for opportunities
you don't have to be the smartest Person to change the world.You just have to work Towards it.
