I live on a floor with some absolutely amazing people;
everyone is friendly, funny and overall just awesome. However, one of the
things that I think that makes us special is how ambitious we all are… So I
started asking people on my floor in residence a question we have all been
asked many times;
“What do you want to
be when you grow up?”
I have to say that the answers I received made me love this
group of people even more…
“With mechatronics it is on the forefront of technology so
that’s pretty exciting, defense systems or hardware development (wearable
technology) would be an exciting career choice.” - Mechatronics Engineering
“I want to be happy; wait I don’t want my answer to be
that…” - Honors Biology
“I want money, that’s shallow but it’s the truth” - Honors Math
(actuarial science)
“Oh I don’t have an answer… I have backup plans and I will
not be a failure. They may cost more money but they will work out… hopefully.”
– Kinesiology
“I want to be an
actuary, and if not I am going into to go into mathematical economics because
it is the second best thing, and if I can’t do that then I am going to stay in
honours math for the rest of my life” - Honors Math
“A forensic chemist” - Honors Chemistry

“An audiologist”- Health promotion
“I don’t know… probably a CEO of a petrochemical company or
something… I don’t know… hopefully that.” - Chemical Engineering
