For about as long as I can remember I have been interested in skyscrapers and the people who make them. Just the thought of a man made building being so massive fascinates me. So, I just had to know who was behind the creation of such a thing. Know I know that the mastermind of the operation is known as a Structural Engineer. I hope to someday find out as much as I can about these engineers so that I can become one of them. There is still a lot about them that puzzles me though even at the age of fifteen. I still don’t know who they know where to start construction and how high they can build. In the future I want to feel what it is like to be at the peek of my career and look down at the rest of the world with the rest of my life ahead of me. I hope that the experience of being an engineer will be enjoyable. When I think of life as an engineer I think of fast cars, big houses, and the most important thing, lots of money. I think that if I try hard enough I could be as rich as Donald Trump if not richer. And because my mom is a real estate agent I could design the schematics for the houses she sells. I want to be a better money manager so that I can support my family a long time after my retirement. I want to live a life free from the hassle of bill collectors. I also want to be so rich that I can put all of my children through college without help from corporate sponsors looking to put me in debt. I know that these are big dreams but I feel like they are within my grasp even today. The future is not easily shaped. The first step in creating a better overall future is getting into a good college, that’s where the search begins. The hardest part about finding a good college is finding a good website to tell you about it. Sure they tell you about the sports programs but, the real hassle is in getting information about the courses you need to take to get a master’s degree in your particular field of work. If you think that finding a good college education is a walk in the park then your standards aren’t very high. Because I am determined to have nothing but the best, my search is much harder than others. The search is ultimately harder because I want to find every bit of information that I can about the college before I even apply for it. It would have taken me hours or maybe even to collect the info I have but thanks to my teacher it only took me a few minutes to find what I was looking for in a college. She gave me an entire chart of what to look for specifically so that my search would be more tolerable. She is like my guardian angle, being there for me every step of the way making sure that I reach my goal.  Every night I go to sleep with the thought of my future in engineering. Then, I wake up the next morning excited that the future is almost within my reach. There’s no way I can fail with the help from so many people especially my teachers, their giving me all the tools I need. The work of a structural engineer could be tiring or very easy. I like it because it is something I am good at and a well paying job that could allow me to live the life only few could ever dream about. In order to be the best engineer I can, I will have to get the proper training and a master’s degree in this line of work. From there it is my job to find the best pair of hands (construction workers) money can buy. The environment of this job can be either one of two; I can work from behind my desk, or I can go out into the field to insure that my workers get the job done properly. From m perspective this job is perfect and plays to all of my advantages as a worker. I don’t mind getting my own hands dirty at time so I can go and help speed up the process and I don’t mind doing paper work. Either way I am going to get my money.  The colleges that I would love to be enrolled into would be either USC or LSU. I wouldn’t mind going to them because they both have extremely talented college football teams and exceptional on campus dorms. Also because I’ll have a room on campus I can make my way to class without driving my car hundreds of miles because I hate early morning commuting. Although there is no percentage of undergrads for girls and boys there is a total number for the overall students attending LSU which is twenty three thousand three hundred and ninety three. The two thousand seven fall acceptance rate for LSU did have a percentage however, and it is seventy two point eight percent. The cost to enroll into LSU is around thirteen thousand eight hundred dollars and just the application alone costs forty dollars.  Know that all of my questions have been answered I have a newly found confidence about myself. Now I am even more excited about the career and I don’t even care how much I get paid because I am certain that this is something I don’t mind doing and it allows me to be closer to my mom. In the end family is all I need in this world. I can see it now I can have it made and she can have it sold. What surprised me was how much more interesting this career was when I researched it. Not only are the engineers behind the planning process of buildings but they also come up with the plans for the sewer systems and even streets that we live on. If I am ever apart of a project that big I will name a street for everyone I know. I feel good when I think about the possibilities this world has to offer. After this experience I would have to be crazy not to want this career. It has everything that I am looking for as far as family orientation, interest, friends, and even though it doesn’t matter much the pay. Going into the rest of the year knowing what I know now, I feel like the man with the plan. All I have to do is fight my way through the years, learn as much as I can, and get my master’s degree in college.
