Even starting in kindergarten, I was expected to always be better and was told what I was doing at the time was not good enough.

It got even worse when I went into elementary school, worrying about third-grade grades that no one would ever see again.

It went away by middle school, but I expect for it to come back by high school.

I would say this pressure have shaped me to take much more pressure than most can take, as I have had it and the stress for years.

Yeah, I build a lot of cool stuff. Such as...

• PROJECT GOLDEN GLIDER An Air-Cannon that can propel a Nerf dart at tremendous speeds, can reach a theoretical speed of Mach 1.2 (faster than sound)
• PROJECT ODYSSEY A self-driving go-kart in a dune buggy style that is the go-kart equivalent of a Tesla. Software was partially done and plans drawn up but the project was suspended due to lack of funds.
• PROJECT GIDEON An Artificial Intelligence powered assistant similar to MARVEL's Jarvis or DC's Gideon. It was designed to have natural sound speech and sentence generation. It was also designed to help those who have a hard time socialising.
• PROJECT NIGHTCRAFT A Minecraft Java Server hosted in my bedroom on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a port opened to open the server to my friends.
• PROJECT M.O.V.E A DSLR camera rig to move a camera in robotic 6-axis movements including moving on rails

I had gotten used to making things that I wanted to. This had shaped to prefer doing something myself instead of buying it, which is a really bad idea FYI.
