Career goals
I would like to advance the development of space technologies.
Pushing the boundaries of human space exploration is on my list. It is a great way to unite countries that share the same goal even if they differ politically. Engineering and inventing technologies in developing countries is a must if we are to reach our full potential as human beings. If the world can see that we are just one people and come together, we will go interstellar.

My only advice for any student starting in engineering would be to choose your discipline with passion. If your work stems from the heart you are bound to succeed. The future is yours.
