Wat i could be

So i used to think of this alot, but as i got into college it kinda moved to the back of my mind. I may be a mechanical engineer, i may be a person who wants to save the world one day with these skills...but there is always apart of me that wants somethings different. I rarely think of it, but theres like a 5% of me that thrives and wants to join the army or do something completely directed or organized. I sometimes think of how if i had joined after high school i would almost be done by now. There is just a part of me that would like nothing better then to stand on a line and say "your not getting past me" and thats it. Sitting here i like to think that the problems out there are being solved or the i can rely on other. But sometimes i think if i where there then things would be better. The world would be better. I know i can make better difference the path im taking, but sometimes it bothers me that im living such a life when i never get to see the results of my work. It could take 20-30 yrs to see my efforts ever come to ground. I am proud of my major. Engineering i think shapes everything around us. I just hope one day that without firing a gun i can prove my worth to those who want to save the world and say "i did my part and moved the cog of the wheels toward world salvation."
