This is only about half done, but i would like criticism before i go on. Just incase i'm going down the wrong path for this essay. I also have yet to think of a title.

At a young age, my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. Jokingly, I asked back, "What makes the most money?" Laughing, she answered back, "Engineers." That was when I was 6. To this day I realize that at that moment I, unknowingly, devoted my life to becoming an engineer. Not for the money, but for the reason my mom led me into engineering.
"Moms know best" is a phrase often used to express the wisdom and understanding that mothers have for their children. My mom knew to lead me on as an engineer by the way I dealt with new technologies, problems, and solutions to those problems. These small, insignificant, details of my life were on close watch by my mother. She would see me taking apart electrical circuits and I would ask how it all worked. She had no clue, so I tried my best to research at the library or ask anyone who has some knowledge.
As this dream grew, so did my knowledge as I moved up into high school. Freshman year; first period: Electronics I. This class was the basis of all electronics and the guide to my future as an electrical engineer. I was learning about things I had never heard of and it fascinated me. Resistors, transistors, transformers, IC chips, diodes; these were all components that worked together in harmony, when assembled right. It was a whole new world that I was comfortable with, where everything made sense. There were even laws that applied to all of electronics including Ohm's law (V=IR). But even though I assembled the circuits and received an expected output, I wanted to know more behind the theory of how all circuitry works.
