I’m an engineer.
Not the kind who builds giant bridges or tall buildings.
I engineer my life every single day.
Every morning I wake up and try to fix small problems around me. Sometimes the problem is money. Sometimes it is stress. Sometimes it is my own fear. I think carefully, make a plan, fail, and start again.
When I was younger, I thought engineers were people with helmets and big machines. But now I think an engineer is anyone who keeps solving problems without giving up.
My mother is an engineer in the kitchen. She can create a full meal from almost nothing. My father is an engineer of patience. He stays calm even when life becomes difficult.
And me?
Maybe I am still learning.
I build dreams in my mind. I repair broken confidence. I try to design a better future for myself. Some days my plans collapse like weak buildings. Other days I feel strong enough to build an entire city.
People think engineering is only about math and machines. But life itself is engineering. Every choice changes the structure of our future.
So yes, I’m an engineer.
Not perfect.
Still under construction.
