I was sitting in the school library starring at the fine contours and lines of the beautiful shape before me, beckoning me closer and closer to its fine soft texture. “Inspiration” announced my teacher or that’s all that my ears chose to understand. The attracting force was still holding my attention in lock and my eyes wandered around the shape admiring the refine metallic veneer. The sixty four gigabyte hard drive pushing forth a pleasant glare on the shimmering screen. The Mac Book Air’s cameras starred at me as I inspected its many define features. I didn’t care that it was a Mac I was only inspired by the harmony within its design. If this computer was made to catch attention its purpose is complete.
Things like the Mac Air inspire me to push myself to become a person of quality and even to guide myself to a possible career in design or architecture. I occasionally will remember what caught my attention and I will spend time contemplating how that item works and how to assemble it. Some classes, I find myself imagining how an engine from a car works and how the parts work together to build the best chain reaction to have efficient combustion to push the drive shaft to the wheels making are traveling time faster and relaxing. Like most guys I love cars and want to own and even build some in my hopefully near future. The beauty in the fine lines on a car inspires me to work hard so one day I can design such a piece of art that all can share.

Spending many of my younger years admiring the many obstacles in my way so I can understand them has made it possible for me to start small and build big. I spent many hours from when I was a child till now on small model kits and improving my skills as I pass on to the next level. Quality has always been a part of my work ethics from small details like a shovel that is thirty five times as small as the real example and painting wood grains to make the texture of the piece realistic, to large details like a tank that is only sixteen times as small as the real which makes it about the size of a microwave oven hasn’t stopped me from putting out my best work even if it takes me three years to complete. My inspiration from design has built passed the skill of model crafts to making my own furniture and many wood made products in my extra time. One of my most proud pieces of wood craft is a four by two by half foot gun box made of quarter sawed walnut with L gap connectors spiced up with some hard ware from Lee Valley. As I get older I am expanding my skills on craft and design so one day I can go into University with an Idea of a future of Engineering and Architecture.

I have a long road ahead of me before I can live up to my full potential but as long as life has its inspiring features within its journey to the top I will make myself proud. Maybe a good tip is to spot occasionally and admire life as it is and to look for the beauty withhold from those who believe it to be pointless to enjoy the little things.
