About (request update)

I enjoy learning new things, and I believe in hard work. I like giving my best in everything that I do because of the distastefulness of mediocrity. I am an older brother of two siblings, and I believe in setting a good example for my brothers. I prefer to be seen and judged more so by my actions than by my words.

Current Whereabouts:

AutoCAD, poetry, and volunteering

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I want to be a nanotechnologist. My goal is to receive my Bachelors of Science degree and my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Nanotechnology. Afterwards, I want to receive my Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Bionanotechnology. Ultimately, I would like to own my own engineering company and then retire as a college professor.
