This takes passion, and passion is what I have for aerospace engineering.

That said, I believe that I might not be the best student in the world, but I have a zealous passion for aerospace engineering that is found in a very few people. Thence, I can relate to Albert Einstein in so much that he showed an unrelenting enthusiasm towards his subject of interest that from being a student with poor grades, he went on to the become a revolutionary theoretical physicists; one whose contributions are of prime importance in the modern physics.
