“The main reason I want to do engineering, no matter how corny it sounds, is because I actually want to make a contribution to society; to make a difference.
In the first week of uni I started to wonder if I had made the right choice, until we heard from the guest speaker from Engineers Without Borders. It was the first time in my life that I actually thought, this is what I want to do with the rest of my life.
