I have invented robots which improve the work of cars． My love of making things began（1） I was a kid． I really became excited about inventing after I learned about Thomas Edison．
One day in fourth grade， our（2） gave us a project in class． We had to write to a company and learn about the products． I thought and thought． （3） I chose the Thomas A． Edison Company． Soon after， the company sent me a book about the life of Thomas Edison． How I enjoyed reading and re﹣reading about his （4） ! I like the recorded sound and the electric light most． The inventions were clearly printed on my brain．
My dad noticed my interest in inventing and（5） me． He showed me how to turn my ideas into plans and then into new things． Once， I surprised my dad（6） a model plane I made． Later， we found a（7） model plane in a store． I learned that different inventors often invent similar things． It is not unusual for this to happen． I also learned that not all great ideas（8） ． Failure is a common part of the inventing．
As my father and I worked together， I began to realize that my dad was quite an inventor himself． He was always（9） a better way to do a simple job． His guiding hands， together with my（10） in inventing， led me to become an engineer and an inventor． Of course， I also thank Thomas Edison． He is my hero．
