“The world championship is equaled. Lewis Hamilton wins the Turkish Grand Prix and is a seventh-time champion of the world.” or “It’s a really good ball, it’s Tshabalala! Goal Bafana Bafana, goal for South Africa, goal for whole Africa.” These are some of the moments that exuded literal chills as I affix myself to watching every sport unfold and just fantasize about being there. Be it football, cricket, Formula 1, swimming, golf, tennis. I am beady-eyed.
Obviously, I want to live my dream and be an athlete, but I’m also happy to watch it live on T.V or at least experience it in person once in my life because trust me watching people kick balls in a net and cars driving around in circles, sounds weird but it’s beer and skittles for me! But only because I have another itch as well that doesn’t seem to go away.
Looking up into the sky, people will see planes travelling from one place to another and think, yeah yeah, they ease transport, help people travel to fun places and tourism and stuff. Nahhh, I’m more interested in how they do it. How planes are built? Who thought about these ideas? Who indulged in physics and found out about all this? Do birds get caught in plane engines? No, not really, but apart from the last one.
So yeah, becoming an aeronautical engineer has been a dream since I was young and was always astonished by planes and had my search history mobbed with random plane conspiracy theories, but on the other hand, I also had it well stocked with “Football Skills 2016 HD-New Season-Highlights or “Insane F1 crashes of all time.” because one candy does not satisfy a child, does it?
Well, that’s the candy, I meant to dream, and I feel like I’m on the right path as joining the UWC family not only does it provide me with knowledge and like getting those degrees, becoming a nerd and blah blah. It helps me live both my dreams at the same time. As a sports addict and a science geek, I surmise it’s the perfect place to achieve success and to manifest what I have in store because with a platform, this powerful-the sky is not the limit.
Basically, connecting aerodynamics of physics to the bonding in chemistry plus the complex equations of math- together with balls of football or tennis -”that sounds a bit wrong but anyways” and yeah, that gives me the perfect formula to augment what I truly want. In simple words: learn science and play sports, all while making new friends and uniting them through my ideas.
“Don’t dream too big”, as people say. People may think that it’s going to be tough and stressful but who cares about others- as long as I believe I can- I am going to do it. Balancing things should be the key, and trust me, if I am doing it, then you can too. Maybe, one day- you might hear my name at an F1 race with the camera pointed towards me- “World famous aeronautical enginee-”. Okay, wake up, enough dreaming and time to put in the work. Catch you at the races on my newly constructed jet-get it
