Hey there
Have you guys decided your major? If not there are counselors and faculty members that can help you figure out that. 🙂
Today I am going to talk about how I decided that I want to become an Aerospace Engineer.
First of all, I need to tell you that I have many relatives in my family that are officials of the Brazilian Air Force. So basically since I was born I had some form of contact related to airplanes.
In Brazil, there is an Air Force high school (EPCAr), so the students later become officials after graduating. So I wanted to go to that school, but they are very strict, so you cannot have any problems with your body.
I was born with a kidney problem, so one of the two almost does not work. So that was a barrier to follow my dream and become a jet pilot.
I still wanted to work with airplanes, because they are so cool to me. That was when I learned about the Aerospace Engineering, because I could still have contact with these amazing flying machines.
After setting my goal to become an Aerospace Engineer, I decided to come to the United States, because of the better education and better life that I would have in Brazil.
