LOOKING AHEAD FROM BEHIND

A CALL TO ADVENTURE

Today I have received an email regarding a question that only I could figure out, "The same man who first envisioned the helicopter also created very precise anatomical drawings, scissors, and the very first robot in history. He was a master student, learning everything he could about how devices work. Today, when people hear his name, they think of art. Who was this man? Describe his life and creations." Below are some of my ideas/questions that first came up to me when reading the question.

 As I was reading the question above given to me by Dr.Preston, I was asking myself who in the world can this possibly be, I know that he was an engineer, which of course one needs to be a master student, he apparently did art so he had to be some type of famous artist. I started to search up for people that created very precise anatomical drawings and scissors and I found the inventor “Leonardo da Vinci”, then I remembered hearing about him before, all I could recall was the word “Art”. I realized it had to be him, then I asked Dr.Preston for confirmation and it was, my mystery guy. I used yahoo to search up questions, I don’t really trust yahoo, the reason is because I don’t use it, I normally use google which by far is the only site I trust for useful information. Some search words that I use would be "Who", "When", and "How", I know that the information is accurate because the information that I got from Leonard da Vinci was from an actual autobiography website about him.

The man who first envisioned the helicopter, created anatomical drawings, scissors, and the very first robot in history was Leonardo da Vinci. When people think of him including me, I think of art, he was a master student, learning everything he could about how devices work. Leonard da Vinci is known for his paintings like " The last supper" and "Mona Lisa" and of course the "flying machine", he was born in a farmhouse outside the village of Anchiano in Tuscany, Italy on April 15, 1452. Leonard da Vinci was one out of 12 siblings, which of 9 of them were males and 3 were females. He passed away on May 2, 1519 due to a stroke, Leonardo da Vinci came from a poor household in which his mother was a peasant from the town Vinci, only the rich had the opportunity to read books and peruse an education.

Learning Feedback

 The most valuable feedback that I received on my Weekends post was by Gabriela Mendoza, she stated she got a good sense of how I was influenced and because of that now I want to study mechanical engineering which is what I wanted the readers to capture. My childhood memory about seeing my dad repair and exchange the oil to our car, as well as seeing the parts under the hood sparked a interest in me which made me get into the concept of cars and of course mechanical engineering. Gabriela mentioned my Weekends post was overall good and easy to understand, this feedback matters to me because it lets me know my writing is good and thorough.

    The most valuable feedback that I gave was to Gitzel Rodriguez, I mentioned I was glad she was trying to learn sign language, because there's often occasions where deaf kids and adults try to communicate but a lot of us don't know sign language so its difficult for them to get their message through. I tried once to learn a new language to talk to my friends, I tried to learn Arabic,but it was too difficult so I had stopped.

Weekend's Post

     I'm really passionate on learning Mechanical Engineering, I love the whole concept on learning how to repair and rebuild things for example cars. When I was a little kid, my dad would go to the garage or front parking lot and he would change the oil of our car, I would be there looking at him wondering what he was doing under the car and trying to repair. I remember when I was a little kid, my dad would pop open the hood while the car was turned on and I would be fascinated by how many things where inside and I was really curios on how each part worked. One of my PPC that can help as information for this specific career would be geometry because mathematics is a big part in mechanical engineering. After completing High School, I want to go off to college and get more into mechanical engineering because I know that there's more to it than meets the eye, and it will not be an easy task but going to college for the amount of years necessary is a good start. My role mentors in this field would be Nickola Tesla, the Wright Brothers, and Henry Ford.
