Hobbies
I have always been intrigued by how things work. When I was younger I would pull things apart just to see what was inside of them and see if I could put them back together so that they worked again. Lots of trail and error, but I get a lot of joy from it and I have learned a lot just by doing this.
When I started riding motorcycles at 16 I pulled apart my bike because something had gone wrong and the lights weren't working. Come to find out it was some wires that had been cut in half due to an accident I had been in. I bought a manuel on how to wire lights and got to work. I have enjoyed doing this with all things in my life.
