Interests and Hobby:
 Upon having realized the indefinite potential of using electricity to provide various functions at a
tender age, I developed a passion of using it toprovide various services to humanity.
 I do find it enjoyable watching documentaries on how living things, both flora and fauna, find
their ways of surviving and making meaning of life, how they are adopted for survival, and how
they depend on other organisms to survive, this makes National Geographic Channel my favorite
DSTVchannel.Besides, I also enjoy watching history of technology, war and weaponry and its
evolution aired in Discovery World, and Crime & Investigation channels.
 My other free time is spent playing badminton, skating, reading novels and listening to music.
Additional Information:
 The joy I earnfrom all I engage in do comemore from the feeling that someone else is satisfied
by the good or service I offered him or her - this brings a smile to my face. Because of this I do
find myself trying to examine other people’s activities, situation or properties to initiatesupport,
which makes me like to work in groups, just as much as I also enjoy working alone – more so in
attention demanding activities.
 Innovation has been the theme in all my fields of venture – I keep on searching for a better way
of doing things and how to integrate knowledge acquired in different fields; but the most

3. interesting part comes from daringto bring them to life the thought-of improved solutions, and
in most cases give them my dedication to fruition of the last detail.
 I do like challenges, and I am not such type of a person who will retract my interest in a subject
because the majority says it is difficult, I take a forward step and then make my own opinion.
This, plus my inquisitive nature, has seen me engage in and learn many other out-of-class skills.
Drive:
My main drive is that: ‘It’s possible -and there is a reason why.’
