The ironic spark that led me down this path was when my elementary school math teacher told me the ever so common phrase: "it's not rocket science". Since then, my motivation, drive, and dedication have only increased over the years. Long story short, my overall goal in life is to ultimately do something that would blow my own mind. Until then, I am navigating the world as a student at the University of Texas at Austin, studying for a Bachelor's degree in both Aerospace Engineering and Physics. Eventually, this path will lead me to another milestone in my life where I plan to go to graduate school and study Astrophysics.
