I'm Fiona, a Sophomore at Wellesley College. I am from a small town on the coast of Maine. My plan is to major in political science and minor in music (I play violin). I am interested in a variety of subjects within these disciplines, including human rights & environmental justice. I am currently toying with the idea of becoming a speechwriter. However, my idea of what I want to be when I "grow up" changes every day, so stay tuned!
I am thrilled to be taking Making a Difference through Engineering! I have never taken a class that combines design with math, with construction. My strengths are in the more artistic part of the process of engineering a product. I am insecure about my math skills, so I hope to be able to improve my self-confidence in this area. In taking this class, I hope to strengthen my quantitative skills and my ability to construct things effectively. I am excited, and nervous, to be pushed out of my comfort zone in this class. Beyond the obvious personal benefits, I hope I will be able to make a small difference in the lives of people in underserved communities.
I will be posting regularly to this blog throughout the semester, so come back and visit!
Sincerely, Newbie
Very glad to have you in class and those goals sound like a good fit!
