Ever since I was a kid, I'm talking like 5 years old, I wanted to be a scientist of some sort. I went from archeologist to avian biologist before finally settling on astrophysics/physics in general, because I adore the universe and I want to see how it all works, like reading an instruction manual. The rub is that I didn't try freshman and junior year of high school, so now my GPA is only a 3.59. I have excuses for both years, but I really just can't stand how people who I would easily be higher than when it comes to grades are going to colleges I've been rejected from.
My laziness has also kept me trapped closer to where I am, when I honestly would like to get as far away from the Hill Country has possible occasionally. Is this my fault? 100%. I waited until it was too late to apply to UC Boulder, U Oregon, and others. I just can't stand how little I've minded my future in the past, which is going to change.
UTSA is gonna be a second chance for me, and if I go to all my classes, study and learn as well as I know I can, I won't only be eligible to go to UT Austin, but most colleges in the states (and perhaps Germany as well), finally proving to myself and the world that I can be who I've wanted to be and that I can forge my destiny.
I didn't expect this post to take the direction it took, but here we are—there's still hope for me. I'm wiser than I was in the past.
This is peak 2000's, but I think this is a lot like Night Light by the Mountain Goats: "Live like an outlaw clutching gold coins in his claw."
