Assignment 22 - William Begley - Caltech

I am fairly certain I won't get accepted but I've always wanted to go to California Institute of Technology. It has one of the best aerospace engineering programs in the country and that's the specific field of engineering I've always been most interested in. This interest in their program is one of two main factors in my selection of this college. I also just want to live on the west coast, and specifically California as it's a hub for my two biggest interests, skateboarding and cars. I grew up with my dad and cousin, Jack, both loving cars. My dad has a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport that he loves and is working on almost everyday in someway, he loves to create capable and practical off-road vehicles as he has now raised the Jeep and added massive tires to create his dream car. Jack is involved with a different facet of cars and has a 2015 Subaru WRX STI. He loves creating fast and cleanly constructed cars and has taken many steps to create his own personal WRX. This caused me to have a deep interest in vehicles since I was little and want to go to California where great car companies and racers began. Caltech is perfectly placed for me to experience the rich car culture of California.
