Thinkers
Since ancient times, thinkers have been considered to have some of the greatest minds. More commonly referred to as philosophers; men and women such as Plato, Eratosthenes of Cyrene, and Rosa Luxemburg have granted us with knowledge beyond our own imaginations. In more modern times I find myself following great thinkers. Minds such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Neil Degrasse Tyson are mentors to young minds such as myself. I believe that in order to become a great thinker, it is crucial that you stay confident in your own ideas, but also to stay open minded so that you may be able to adjust to modern times, and circumstances.
It is a little difficult to stand out as a thinker in school, as you are forced to follow a curriculum along with everyone else in your class. Where these minds stood out was in the real world. They formed ideas, and followed through with them. Elon Musk has been paved the way for reusable rockets, and ever since then, the world has been at awe. As a thinker, I too have an idea. I would like to add on to Elon Musk's push for the future. In my years to come, I would like to create a more cost and energy efficient method of space travel. This not only stops at space travel, but I would like to focus more on flight, because I feel that there is more to work on. I plan on going to school for Aerospace Engineering, in hopes that I can one day develop this method of energy.
