Successful people try new things and take risks rather than only doing what they know how to do well.. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement.
It was late 2017. I was a high school senior. Four of us from the science club developed a raw working model of a Jet Engine for a science fair. While the other members of the group involved primarily on its fabrication, my role, given my penchant for physics, was specifically to research and build the theoretical model of the engine, and then make analytical assessment of its thrust, which I, in the hindsight, did exceptionally well for a high school student. I also served as the lead presenter in the fair. We won the People’s Choice Award, and my interest in Aerospace Engineering got cemented. At early 2018, I became the National Champion in Nepal Physics Olympiad, and it hugely boosted my confidence to succeed in a demanding undergraduate aerospace curriculum.
