      In secondary school in the 1980’s, I often thought of being a pilot as I had never been on an airplane before, and I thought it would lead me to lots of adventures. Then later, I started liking mathematical and technical subjects especially opening my computer to see what was inside and learning about what makes it work. That curiosity eventually led me to choosing electronic engineering as a subject I wanted to learn more about. After talking to some more people, and completing my first year at college, I knew this was the track for me rather than being a pilot.
