      Yes, I think all engineers want problems to solve! My life since being a wheelchair user throws up lot’s of problems that lot’s of others also have, this definitely has influenced what I choose to work on.

    @Sean that’s really interesting. How does it make you feel if/when people pity you?

    I never really experience it from anyone where I care about what they think, so I either just shrug it off, talk about something to show that help/respect is preferable to pity and try not to make sarcastic comments!
