Grandpa Tech As I begin my freshman year of college, I find myself attaining a degree entirely based upon the teachings of my grandfather. As a young adult of 18, I realize that a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology could simply be the B.S. of Tom Goranson. He awakened the tinkering gene within me, passed down through the ages. Indoctrinated as a small child, engineering has become a part of my life. He was responsible for molding my constructive abilities into something worthwhile for the general public. I can remember a specific incident with my grandfather when I lived in Kansas. My grandpa, who migrated south from the north woods of Minnesota, decided that he would help his three grandchildren take advantage of the enormous hill that they lived on. Yes, Kansas is not renowned for its gigantic hills; however, 84th Street East was known for its dogleg hill to the south, covered by ancient oak trees. Duplexes lined the streets, every third one or so mimicking the previous few, with the exception of the occupant’s personal belongings littering the lawns and driveways.
