From Why? to Wow! 
Hello! I’m a 15 year-old boy from Vietnam who has always dreamed of building things and fixing stuffs: engineer, in short. I also want to study abroad in the UK, especially in the Department of Engineering of Cambridge University. I’m studying at my country’s top 5 best high schools and the school also had 2 students studying there. I really want some advice about what I should do now and when I’m studying A levels (especially from Mr. Tim Minshall- the PhD from Cambridge University Engineering Department). Thanks a lot!
