Hello, my name is Jessica and I find the engineering field interesting. I would like to know what were some hard obstacles you had to face to become who you are now, was it an easy or hard task?

Hello Jessica. A difficult obstacle I faced was not being Calculus ready when I started college because I attended a small, rural school. It took a couple of semesters to take Trigonometry and Algebra II, but I needed to know the details of these courses to be able to be Calculus ready. With the required math for engineers, the math courses build on each other.

If I wanted to be an engineer, then I had to work hard at my math classes. I connected with tutors and ask questions of the instructors during office hours. When I was a junior, there were two of my classmates who took courses with me and we created a study group. That was the most helpful and I'm very good friends with one of my classmates today!
