“Each time I tell a friend that I’m studying engineering because I want to design aeroplanes, I get more or less the same reaction, along the lines of: “Wow, you must be really smart.” Many of my female friends appear to think my goals are unreachable for them, and male friends seem to admire it as something extraordinary.

It can be challenging, but it’s all about mindset and vision.”(more)
