While a lot of people may regret not being able to do what they always wanted, I don't. I did at one point, but not anymore. Your perceptions, aims and goals in life change with time, and they did for me too. I had always wanted to become an engineer and my parents knew that right from the time I was a little girl. I would often break open my toys to have a closer look inside and study its mechanism or help my Dad mend little things around the house. As I grew up, I was more than determined to study engineering and so I did! I spent some of the most difficult four years of my life going to one of the best engineering universities and ended up becoming an Electronics Engineer . Well, not quite.
