He believes he is a person who gets satisfaction from being able to solve, predict, and prevent problems. Isaac enjoys coming up with logical solutions and ideas. His strengths are in making strong social connections with various people. Isaac really does enjoy challenging situations or scenarios. He is a strong believer in God and he challenges his faith every day by engaging with those who don’t believe. He also believes that faith that is not tested frequently is useless and does affirm one’s belief. The reason why he chose Electrical Engineering is because of its ever-changing structure as technology, electrical and electronic components are modified, invented, and reinvented every day, so one can never get tired of what they’re doing. When you know how stuff works, what usually malfunctions, and what are the basic rules of Electrical Engineering, you can make your own stuff, instead of searching for it and buying it. Electrical Engineering has the immense advantage of covering tens of specializations, making it very flexible and offers me a great chance of simply throwing a dart at a list and trying on different areas.
