Life Experiences - 2

When my father got fired form his job, he had to start as an entry level construction worker with minimum wages. He had to work as a labor for engineers who used to work with them in a same room. However he never told anything, I used to think that his only dream is seeing his first child as an engineer with a yellow helmet in an incomplete building, working with other engineers, and arranging the workers. I saw all his effort to bring money for my school and sending me to supplementary classes to be a good student. The only thing he wanted was having someone to be proud, a symbol of the life he used to have.

I was a brilliant student in high school, specifically in math and physics. I also loved literature and social studies, but when time came to choose the major in university I picked civil engineering. I scarified my dream of studying social science to make my dad’s untold dream true. I had passed the test and first semester started. Engineering is not all about math and physics. It is more about imagination and the power of drawing. When it comes to art, I am one of the untalented students in the world. I can not draw any 3-D object without having a model. Even with a model, my picture is more like a cartoon than a bridge or Skelton of a dome. It was third semester when our group advisor asked me in his office and noticed me about my rows of Fs.
