Don’t Let Your Inner Child Die

D on’t Let Your Inner Child Die A s an engineering student, life can get pretty hectic. There are classes to attend, projects to complete, internships to land, and exams to prepare for. It feels like there’s always something demanding your time and attention. I know this because I’ve been there. But in the middle of all this, something hit me: I had stopped listening to my inner child. When I was in my childhood, I was obsessed with building things . I remember spending hours on LEGO sets, constructing machines, and sketching wild ideas for inventions that didn’t exist yet. It was fun, it was free, and it made me feel alive. But somewhere along the way, as I started focusing on my engineering degree, I got caught up in the practicalities of life—assignments, deadlines, and the pressure to “succeed.” My inner child, the part of me that used to dream big, got pushed to the side. -
