academic paper title
Hi Jo,
I have chosen the title:
Are super cars right for the public?
I chose this topic because most people seem to be fascinated by super cars. I have to admit I love them! Whats not to love? They are incredibly fast, luxurious and beautiful in design. However, all super cars come at a ridiculously high price and not everyone can afford them. I decided to research on the impact these cars have had on the the public

VARK result
The result of the vark questionnaire showed that I was a visual learner. I was not very surprised because earlier in the lecture you mentioned that visual learners talk with their hands a lot and most of the time I find it difficult to talk without using my hands. I study better when I draw and highlight diagrams in my notes

About me
My name is Mofya Mainda. I am 18 years old and I am an international student from Zambia studying an honours degree in mechanical engineering. In high school I never had a clue of what I wanted to do but I knew that whatever it was going to be I was going to be the best at it. I researched on alot of career paths like architecture but I finally settled for Mechanical engineering. I chose the course for a number of reasons. Firstly, because I like to set challenges for myself and I like to be different. I always liked cars and drawing mechanical parts and I wanted to do something that would combine both of my intrests. I chose this course because I wanted a degree programme that would utilise my mathematics, physics and technical drawing skills to the fullest. I chose this course because my parents inspired me and believed that I was capable of doing anything if I put my mind to it.
I hope to work in the automobile or aviation industry when I am done with the course
