My Future Career.

In this essay, I would like to describe my thought process leading to my future career choice. I want to be a biorobotics engineer. The decision to choose biorobotics as a career was not made overnight, but months of contemplating on key points, ultimately helping me conclude that this is the profession I want to dedicate my life to. These points include my interests in robotics and biology as I developed into a young adult, the definition of biorobotics and key area that attracted me to the field, and the unlimited opportunity in what I hope to achieve in a career as a biorobotics engineer. First, growing up, I was fascinated by robots. My father, an electrical engineer, bought me toys such Transformers, and immersed me in books about robots such as the Maxx Steele series; my affection for robots continued as a teenager with mecha-based Japanese anime, such as the series Evangelion . From elementary to highschool, I was also very interested in biology, I loved the study of ba...

The Cafe.

I'm sitting at Starbucks on Robson and Thurlow as I write this blog. Days when I need to unwind I make the trek downtown to this particular spot. It's the perfect place to people watch. It's got a certain vibrancy not found anywhere else in Vancouver. People of all ethnicities gather here on a daily basis. Families, friends, business folk and more. Conversations are often spoken in mother tongues, like Mandarin, leaving me envious to eavesdrop in their stories, gossip, or business transactions. This place, it resonates a particular atmosphere; the smell of exotic coffee, the small bursts of steam from cappuccino machines, the dim lights, the lethargic shoppers, and the curious, talkative, foreign exchange students. It's this atmosphere that draws me here on a near weekly basis. It's this atmosphere that puts me at ease. My sanctuary, placed right in the hub of busyness - the core of downtown - no less. This cafe, I'd say is a concoction of contradictions. It...

Engineers.

I'm fascinated by engineers. Growing up I've always been surrounded by them. My dad, an electrical engineer, my brother a budding power engineer, and my uncles - ranging from civil to mechanical engineers. I'll admit, I've never had an interest in a career as an engineer (its only now that I've found merit in the discipline), but I've always loved technology. I just never pictured myself developing it. That's now changed. I'm loving science, and I'm loving the idea of being able to create something useful out of nothing, based on the laws of the universe and current tools and community accepted, applied scientific theories. Engineering blood flows through my veins, I've just never fully tapped into my abilities. Granted, problem solving comes easy to me. For years I've applied that gift to the Arts, I think its time I gave Applied Science a bit of love too. I suppose my transformation has largely to do with helping people. As I've g...
