Personal Statement

I've been passionate for Sciences since childhood. I used to cut bugs open to see what was inside them, wondered at the night sky, and read a lot about human anatomy. Unfortunately, as a teenager, I decided to go for an Engineering degree, aiming for money and glamour. Greatest mistake ever made. There was no passion, no interest, and I sucked at it. In 2011, I wiped my mind clean of this Engineering nonsense, and decided to follow my childhood's passion: to be a Scientist. Now I'm getting a Bachelor degree in Physics in one of the best universities of my country. Some people called me crazy. I don't care, and they may even be right! Why Astronomy matters to me? Man, how can a person look at the night sky and not be in wonder by its mystery and beauty? I'm into this because I want to be part of this great endeavor to uncover our universe.
