Have you ever been in a situation where you see things working for people and get filled with wonder, asking yourself, How does it work?" You get to inquire, to seek knowledge of what makes this and how to attain that, in order to fill up your knowledge.

Yeah, it definitely sounds familiar!
 
As humans, we get curious by nature when something touches us—or, more like, touches our fancy! If it fascinates us, we would want to seek more information about how it is to be.
 
Take Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered gravity when he got curious about why anything he threw up always came down. The whole scenario touched his fancy, and he wanted to know more.
 
<center>***I bet you can now relate to a similar idea.***</center>

Throughout my entire life, I have found numerous things that have captivated my interest and curiosity. My curiosity in nature has been a combination of what has made me "What I am" and "Who I am today". Starting from being on Hive, almost everything I do is based on my quest to seek knowledge to understand all that fancies me.
 
I would not be on Hive today if I were not curious about nature. I was driven to satisfy my innate thirst to know how this platform works. I wanted to be more than just a regular person joining the blockchain, and every action taken has been towards that step.
 
Many of you may know this story because I have said it a lot of times and will say it again. It all started when a particular friend of mine, who joined Steem Hive, used the money to get a phone and was even able to pay his school fees while I was standing there and could not even afford to buy data on my phone.
 
I got driven, I got motivated, and I wanted to know how. I wanted to know how I could make this for myself too. And yes, being curious about this knowledge has led me to be focused on developing my account and helping me attain the name I have today.
 
***Aside from Hive, my career path is involved too.***
 
Yesterday, I shared a post about [Why I Abandoned My Childhood Dreams and Found My True Calling](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@starstrings01/why-i-abandoned-my-childhood-dreams-and-found-my-true-calling), The whole process occurred due to my inquisitive nature.
 
 
I wanted to know more about engineering, as I have always been fascinated by how technologies function and am eager to play a part in contributing to their progress and improvement. I spent my personal time as a teenager googling and searching for career options to study. I got to understand the different fields of engineering and what they do. I made my choice to study mechanical Engineering when I figured it was close to studying Robotics.
 
Tell me, which Kid would not love the idea of wanting to learn to build a robot?

I moved further into knowing if I could study it in Nigeria, checking out which schools offer the courses, and making my plan on how I could make this dream a reality. My curiosity made me take action and pushed me to take every step towards realising my dream of becoming a mechanical Engineer. It felt like a passion that dwelled in me, influencing every decision I made.
 
And yes! Curiousity led me to where I wanted to be. led me into getting admission to the Federal University of Abeokuta to study Mechatronics Engineering, and here I am, a 400-level Mechatronics Student.
 
Yes, I was curious, and I made decisions, but the truth is, all this would not have been possible if curiosity was the only influence I had. I had the support of one more thing, which was the Grace of God! I would not have done it without him, and he helped make my rewards greater than the efforts I put in.
 
So tell me, where has your curiosity taken you?
