 I'm a generous and easy-going person but when it comes to work I'm a competitive perfectionist. I'm
also an optimistic and outgoing person so I have many friends and other social relationships. I enjoy
reading, writing and doing math. I decided to become a Civil Engineer because I have always been
fascinated by bridges, buildings, and skyscrapers. A degree in Civil Engineering enables me to achieve
my goals and also gives me an opportunity to make a difference in the community.
Five years from now, I want to become a project manager of a construction project. As a project
manager, my primary goals are managing people, set budgets, and making decisions of all kinds. I also
want to speak English fluently so I can work with people from different countries.
