at first, sorry for my bad grammar, not used to type in english that often 
yes, i'm a girl and i got introduced in the wonderfull world of welding,
let's start from the beginning.
for my exam i had to weld a little piece ( can't really remember what i had to weld), and i never even had a torch in my hand. my teacher didn't want to teach me (don't ask
) so i asked my dad, since then he let me watch the youtube clips from welding tips and tricks, he said that he would teach me and we got started, he has a little hobby stick weld machine and i had no idea what to expect. when i lit the stick for the first time, the spark flew over to me and reached my heart, when i reached the time to do my exam i noticed the machine was different, (MIG) i got so nervous that i welded my material to the table 
, they said it didn't matter and eventually got a pretty good grade.
i had to choose what i wanted and chose mechanica engineering. i had an internship and worked a lot with MIG welding. i had to choose again because the technical world is big and has a lot of options, i doubted a lot and suddenly had to think of that first time, i thought it was amazing! ever since then, when i pull down my welding helmet i get into my own world and into focus, craving to lay a beautiful weld (ofcourse i make many mistakes because i'm just a beginner ) today i'm working on an certification MIG level two , i recently achieved my level one and i learn new things everyday.
i think you all will inspire me to this wonderfull welding world,
lots of love, casey.
