This book is intended to motivate students, instructors, and parents to obtain technical education starting with high schools that provide S.T.E.M.-based education. I tell my life story, how I entered the United States with a high school diploma received in the "old country" based on S.T.E.M. principles, and succeeded in the United States by following a technical path toward higher education. The book provides valuable information in regard to alternative energy and automotive careers for students to explore and have it be used as a resource guide.
