Writing the Educative narrative was a really nice experience as I got to reflect on my own personal experiences and not just think about it. This my first time in a long time that I was able to really reflect on the events in my life that really molded me into the person I am today. It was really fun looking back at old memories and recognizing that some events, although small, really just changed my entire trajectory in life. Moments like just using graphing paper to draw model buildings and also just how influential my father was in my career and program choices was something that I never really stopped to think about. I think the most important thing I can really take away from this essay is that, Although there were people who may have helped guide me through this process of getting to college and pursuing a career that I really enjoy doing, I like to think that I was able to put in the work to also do things myself and stand out amongst my classmates.
