10 years ago, I was 9. I was a shy, quiet kid who loved to read and thought science was the coolest thing in the world. I was probably happier than I will ever be due to the simplicity of my mind and life back then. I think I was 9 when I first saw Apollo 13, the movie that changed my life. I also got a beautiful beagle as my 9th birthday present. Volley is alive and well to this day.
5 years ago, I was 14. I still loved math and science, and I was beginning to see that a career in the field might be a lot of fun. I was recovering from being completely ignored by my first love, a skill that would come to great use throughout high school and engineering school.
5 years from now, I hope to be finishing up graduate school. Not sure where exactly...hopefully some place exciting like UC Berkeley or MIT...just have to keep the grades up. I'll be looking for a job and praying that outsourcing won't leave me on the streets.
10 years from now, I hope to be in an extraordinarily fun and rewarding job as an aircraft systems engineer, a biomedical engineer, or an audio engineer. I would like to be married or courting a beautiful young lady, although I feel my chances are rather slim.
Great thread, BigBen!
