Some people categorize engineers as geeks or nerds. Are you a geek, nerd, or neither? Why?
Geek.
The Oxford dictionary defines the word as "An unfashionable and socially inept person". But the literal definition is far from what society in general perceives of it. Geek is not wearing high waist pants with big horn-rimmed glasses. It is not burying your face in books; neither is it memorizing equations and formulas. It is something much more. It is about being passionate. It is about doing what you love, and loving what you do, irrespective of how others judge you. And I must confess; I am a geek.

Yes, I am studious. Yes, I have my own laboratory at home. I post on science forums instead of on Facebook. I make quad copters when I have spare time. I prefer documentaries to movies. But the only force that drives me into indulging in such activities is the passion I possess to know more. Passion for science, for computers, for robots. Passion that often gets me called bookworm. Passion that makes me who I proudly am: A geek.

You've just wasted computer resources - your reply is absolutely useless. You wouldn't like others to say something meaningless and unhelpful about your essay, would you...

And I must confess; I am a geek.

As you are going to write it at the end and where it should be you might consider not writing it here...

You didn't mention any word limit! If you don't have much then I guess whatever it's there now is okay! If there is even a little more then try to get some more feelings for engineering after the quad copter line. It's for a engineering essay after all, right?

If there is no word limit then I urge you to add as much as possible about your quad copters and the things you are always interested about, share some amazing facts on Robotics...

Show it in the essay that you are a real GEEK!
