Letting the warm evening sun shine on my face I am sitting at the foot of an old tree. Leaning against its trunk I can feel how the bark is pressing against my back. Though some people may find this inconvenient I am already used to it and find it rather supporting. I am looking down at the houses of my family members and at the row of mountains which are surrounding our valley. A small breeze is moving the trees in the wood behind me and I have to wipe a string of hair out of my face.

This is also the time which shaped me and where I got most of my current skills from. In a class with 31 boys I was not only able to learn the basics of electrical engineering like Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s circuit laws but also fundamentals in high-frequency technology and computer science. In addition to all the theoretical classes I really liked the great variety of practical ones.

Moreover, the workshop lessons where always practically oriented and presented us with work like plumbing trade where we had to install a variety of light bulbs and switches in different scenarios. In another workshop lesson we had to configure a network system with routers, switches and some clients. And in a different lesson we even had to create electric circuit boards beginning with the design of the board over the laminating and exposure of the raw circuit board to the final stage where we had to equip the board with the appropriate components. Beside this practical and technology oriented classes I really enjoyed our non-technical lessons like economics and project management. As our teacher gave us the chance to take the EBCL (European Business Competence License) I decided to take both level A and B as I really wanted to get to know the subject

    The current world record for solving a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube is 4.59 seconds. While it is possible for people to solve them quickly, only a few can because they know the tips and tricks to the puzzle; they have the upperhand. Even though it seems easy to solve, most people try to solve it for hours, only to give up. This is similar to the American Dream, which states that through hard work, people are able to get wherever they want in life. While the Dream promotes this idea that anyone can achieve their goals, only those with the upperhand can get through all of the challenges that come with trying to reach the end goal.

    The cool, upland air, flooding through the everlasting branches of the lively tree, as it casts a vague shadow onto the grasses ' fine green. Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like.
