When I was younger, I used to watch 'Bob the Builder' and 'Handy Manny'. I was fascinated! I was inspired of how they can build and help people who are in need. That's when I decided what I wanted to be, a construction engineer.
My dream is when I become a construction engineer, I will focus on building bridges. The bridges I wanted to build range from small bridges like arched bridges and viaducts to colossal bridges like suspension bridges and truss bridges. I will make them sturdy and at the same time magnificent. I will use the latest computer technology to design the models and construct the miniatures.
But that's not all. My dream is bigger than that. Like Manny and Bob who helps people, I want my career to mean something and to contribute to society. You may be wondering how an engineer can possibly help the world right now, especially that engineers are responsible for the buildings of so many concrete in place on green areas. I want to change this negative perception by using my knowledge and skills for a better purpose. Instead of constructing buildings, I will construct bridges in the rural areas in Indonesia that are often neglected because of lack of supplies and basic needs. Bridges are not just physical connections, they are also a metaphor for reaching out to others and uniting people. I will build bridges in villages so students there can attend school safely and quickly without getting wet. I will build big bridges to connect rural areas to the developed city so that they could trade and become progressive. My bridges will look like architectural marvels so that they will become tourist attractions. The villages will develop faster with more tourists and it will give more jobs to the villagers so that they will earn money to support their families. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Dreams will become realities only when we work hard in it. For me the first step is to study hard, therefore my dream begins now.
