I am a mere 17-year-old dual-credit student, bravely attempting to survive the terrifying intersection of mathematics, physics, and theology—three subjects that, apparently, I have decided are insufficiently complicated when studied individually. When I am not contemplating the fundamental structure of the universe or pondering the deepest questions of existence, I can be found playing the violin and piano, because apparently one instrument simply could not contain the full magnitude of my musical ambitions. I also sing classical music, where I have achieved the truly earth-shattering distinction of being recognized by TPSMEA as the best private-schooled Bass 2 in the entire state of Texas—a title that I intend to carry with the gravitas it deserves. But naturally, this is only the beginning. My grand scheme is to attend Texas A&M University and earn a Bachelor of Science in Physics, because spending four years studying the laws governing reality sounds like a perfectly reasonable undergraduate pastime. After that, I intend to venture forth to another university and obtain a Ph.D. in physics, emerging from the academic wilderness as a fully armed theoretical scholar capable of asking increasingly complicated questions about the universe and then spending several decades attempting to answer them. Ultimately, my goal is to become an academic researcher in physics—an occupation in which I can devote my life to mathematics, physics, research, and the relentless pursuit of See more
