I had a great time this week being on a panel of engineers answering questions about life here at USC for a special group of socioeconomically disadvantaged high school sophomores who want to learn what life as an engineering student.
All of them laughed at me when I told them of my experience of taking a ballroom dance class with some of my friends last semester and how due to my horrible dancing skills I accidentally dropped my partner. But honestly it was a pretty good analogy for studying engineering, when you start your going to be really bad. Probably not as bad as me as a dancer, but still there’s gonna be times where you stumble. But overtime you keep working at it and through a lot of practice at hackathons and with homework assignments.
