My parents were school teachers, they were not great at fixing things but I really liked helped them when they were and it made me feel very proud. As such, I was used to be in charge of the maintenance all the things in the house that switch on, from computers to VCR and TV. I also like (still now) quietly observing people fixing thing, whether is a bicycle, a pipe or a colleague hardware engineer. This helps me understand how things work and how to fix them myself (in theory). I think this interest maybe attracted towards engineering in the end
I am usually the go-to person for my mom and stepdad when they have computer or mobile phone problems. They like that I am patient and don’t mock them (my brothers sometimes do).
When I was a kid, I helped my grandfather building and fixing things in the garden and I always loved to just figure out how thinks worked myself. I still do actually 😉
