I am currently a university student studying mechanical engineering. I love dogs and hate cats. I am interested in Physics and Mechanical Engineering, Motorsports, Soccer/Football, and the Science of Cooking. I have always enjoyed reading Wikipedia pages in subjects I am interested in. I have even stayed up all night reading Wikipedia pages about physicists I admire. Now, I am looking to do my service to the community that have given me so much.

I am thinking about adding to Parental Leave. I am looking to add to it because I think that parental leave is a right for both parents. If it is only granted to the mother, it could cause things like pregnancy discrimination and the wage gap between genders.

I am looking at these sources for now:
