The Artificery

Water Polo > This is the sport that I enjoy and play the most. I love water polo because it allows for my strengths as an athlete to come into focus, those being a strong swimmer along with having good hand eye coordination. Carpentry > I love carpentry because it allows for my full creative visions to come into play, if I can visualize it, I can probably figure out a way to build it. I love the idea of making something out of scratch, something that came from something that is not useful, and making something utilitarian.

I think that one of my unique abilities as a person is to pull out that which isn't immediately obvious. I enjoy looking at ideas or questions from different angles than those immediately obvious. This applies to many aspects of my life, but the most obvious aspect in which it applies is in math. A classmate and I always do things a bit differently than the standard way, which translates back into other subjects. Business is another example, most of the formulas I better understand in a way that the majority does not. One of my unique talents is my quiet leadership abilities, which means I am willing to step up when no one else is, even if its a hard job. I am willing to lead when no else is, and I am happy to help others without being asked.

Out of this project, I'd like to share my passion for woodworking and carpentry with others, and to give those people a place where they can practice their own skills, as those opportunities are limited here. By building this project, I am expanding the horizons of people similarly interested in carpentry.
