My motivation to become a chemical engineer is intrinsic, I always want to succeed and my failures push me to work harder and push myself towards success. I've always persevered, in my life if you failed you tried and tried again until you succeeded, and that's exactly the kind of mentality every chemical engineer needs to have. However, some personal weaknesses that may hinder my progress are fear of injury, I may be shy of dangerous chemicals at first due to the risk of serious injury, for example I may burn my hand, injuries are endless, but isn't everyone actually afraid of it? Chemical engineer is not like most professions, but I think that's why it suits me and why I want to be one
