I loved crafting.But when I'd chosen engineering in college,I put these pursuits aside.Not only was I stretched for time,but I didn't think they were relevant to my academic work- and I hesitated to highlight my crafting interests in the male-dominated engineering environment where I already felt like an outsider.I told myself that engineering adequately fed my creative side and I didn't need the hobby. The wheelchair project was a sign that my crafting might be important and relevant,but for the next few years I continued to avoid bringing it up in professional spaces.When I was interviewing for engineering jobs and was asked whether I tinkered (in my spare time, for example,I was sure the interviewers wouldn't care about my crafts,even though they featured moving parts.So I said I did more 3D printing.The company extended an offer,so I felt my assumption was confirmed. Maybe my crafting was something I shouldn't conceal.Soon I was seeing more examples of connections between engineering and crafts that I had previously overlooked.I saw how crafting taught me to persevere when my product didn't match my initial vision and to consider the failed creation as a learning experience,just as an engineer must. Since then,I've built crafting back into my free time.I've also stopped hiding it from my colleagues.Their responses were consistently positive and constructive not as I used to fear. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲
