When I started high school, I also started dreaming of becoming an Engineer just like my father. He serves as an inspiration to me in becoming an Engineer and of course my whole family, friends and the love of my life are always there to support me in my dreams.  I am positive that I can and I will pursue my dream and achieve it and soon it will be my future. I am doing this not just because of myself but also for my family, for always being there and I will do my best to achieve the future that I'm dreaming of.

We can lead change and make our world a better place if we start with ourselves. Learning to become a better spouse, parent, businessperson, leader, salesperson, philanthropist, coach and volunteer will enable me to contribute more to my family, my community, and my industry. By inviting positive change into my life, by initiating change, I might be able to positively influence ot...
