The reason I chose the field of Mechanical Engineering

As a university student in Kyoto, I major in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
Today's topic is, "Why have I chosen to step into the world of mechanics?"
Looking back the way of interest I had in the past, I noticed that it seems obvious that I took this way.

First, I was a child who liked to know how things work. In my mind, I always had these types of questions, how do cars move? How does airplane fly? Why doesn's a ship sink? As I got through my steps of education, I started to recognize the fundamental of mechanics, and found myself that these are the questions that I wanted to take a step further with.

The second reason is that because I thought I had the mind of creation. The understanding of fundamental mechanics is one thing, but I also had the intention to design my own product. Historical discoveries can't be cut off with the history of invention. What motivates me is that by inventing new things, it may change how the world looks.

The third reason is simply because I prefered studiying mathematical subjects more than those related to arts, literature, history and so on. What was important to me was not only remembering the facts, but to understand how things work as a system. Here, the nature always follow the basic rules of mathematics, hence it was important to me to master the basic skills of mathematics and physics.

Thinking about these factors, I belive that these recognition have made myself turn my mind toward the field of mechanica engineering.
