Introductions- June Sri

My name is Sureeporn Srikasem, but you can called me “June”. This is my second year in the United States, which I moved to from Thailand. In my junior year, I was in Houston, TX as a foreign exchange student with the American Field Service (AFS) intercultural program. In my senior year, I moved to Arlington, VA because my stepdad came here for work.

I am an electrical engineering major. I am interested in becoming an electrical engineer because of my real dad. He was an electrical engineering professor in Thailand and always brought home things that his students built for me to play with. I had fun with playing these things, but I wasn’t really interested in becoming an engineer until I broke his student’s soccer robot. It looked like a small square car that I could sit in, drive it around, and use a control button to pick the ball up. So I tried it and the robot crashed into the fence and broke into small pieces. My father picked the pieces up and fixed the robot.It surprised me that he could fix something that I think would have ended up in the garbage. He showed me that knowledge from the book is something to be applied. Since I love Physics and Mathematics so much. Becoming an engineer is a great path for me to apply what I love to real life.
