      I think I was about 12 or 13. I was in secondary school, and had started a subject we called Design Technology. As part of this, we would make things out of wood (I made a toy boat), and also make electronics (I made a sensor to measure if my Christmas tree should be watered), and also design things on the computer!

      It was by far my favourite subject, and the job most like it was engineering! So, I became an engineer.
