When I was a kid, I was interested in becoming an investigator. I would watch shows such as Carmen SanDiego and Sally Bollywood. The idea of wanting to solve crime sounded fun and interesting, and my mother would buy me those unsolved crime puzzles. I am still interested in becoming an investigator, but not really. My reasoning is knowing how inhumane some crime scenes can look, the toll that it can take on a human being, and maybe also putting myself in danger. Asking questions about being an investigator helped me learn more about the role they play in the field. As I grew older, my curiosity changed about how much I wanted to learn. It got unsettling, so I started losing interest in it and stopped asking questions and wanting to know more. The role the educational system played in my curiosity was providing crime books or also inviting policemen and investigators to the school for some career showcases. Instead, now I’m more interested in the topic of architecture and building—how one can actually make a drawing of a building or something aesthetically pleasing to the eye just by learning how to even make a building stable to stand on or a shelter for someone who likes the way that I made it.
