Dinner with Leo
If I could have dinner with any historical figure, I would have to choose Leonardo da Vinci. I would choose da Vinci because he was a well-known inventor and artist. I would discuss with da Vinci how he came up with the ideas for his inventions. I would talk to him about his muse for his painting and sculptures. I would share some of my ideas for inventions because I aspire to be a mechanical engineering and see if he could critique some of my designs. I am still unsure what I want to do exactly with my life, but maybe talking to Leonardo da Vinci about my future while eating dinner might help me figure things out. Da Vinci was someone who I had always looked up to. A genius and well-known historical figure, da Vinci would without a doubt inspire to do great things in this world.
I would probably ask da Vinci what it was like growing up for him and what words of encouragement does he have for me. As a kid, I loved playing with Legos and making my own creations. The constructs were crudely and had little thought, but da Vinci might just give me enough ideas where I could make detailed constructs that could one day be real.
