My name is Conrad R Webley Jr.I was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Maryland where I attended elementary through junior high school until 1992.During my years of junior high school is when I actually decided that I wanted to go into the field of mechanical engineering.I was fascinated by how machinery had worked. In those years I have taken apart radios, televisions and remote control cars to either attempt to fix it or add more features to the other.My father, who is an electrical engineer, had also inspired me to at least consider going into the engineering field.After junior high school I had moved to Jacksonville, FL to attend high school.In my junior year of high school I was looking for colleges in which I would be able to pursue my engineering career. My first and original choice was to go to Georgia Tech, but admissions were very strict on being accepted into that school.After asking my guidance counselor for help on well known schools for their engineering programs.I was informed about a school called Florida A & M University.After graduating in 1996 from high school I was ready to go forward on my career to become a mechanical engineer at Florida A & M University.These college years have not been easy.But through these years of college I have learned a lot more about what the real world would be like when I graduate.
