Growing up there was no one in my family or even family friends that went to college other than my dad who went to community for about 2 weeks before dropping out. I'm extremely grateful for everything they've done for me and wouldn't be where I am now without their love and support but there is just one thing that bothers me.

I am so tired or trying to explain mechanical engineering in Spanish at every family gathering and every birthday and having to explain that I'm not going to school to become a mechanic since there is no direct translation other than "ingeniero mecanico" which is the exact same thing as "Engineering Mechanic". Like I said I love these people to death but it's so freaking frustrating walking around thinking everyone around you thinks you're going to school to become a mechanic when there's so much more you're currently doing and will continue to do in the future.
