If I recieved a thousand dollars right now, I would put half of it towards my college tuition and the other half towards my manditory on-campus living expenses. I am majoring in physics but very few around me are doing the same. And doing something alone can require a bit of help. That is why I am willing to bite at any opertunity not as an easy out, but as a boost to my ability to study while I'm at college. Though, saying that I would put a thousand dollars towards my college education is doing my future self a disservice. What I really mean when to say is that I will use a thousand dollars to water my crops of success. I am fighting to go to college. Why? Because it is my duty as a citizen and human to make the world a better. My end goal is to find a meaningful carreer that will provide me with an income that enables me to be an important member to society. I will know if I have succeeded in the future if I am able to provide the same thousand dollars to another fighting spirit like my own. The end goal is to be a more impactful humanitarian while also learning as much as possible about the wonders of the natural universe.

Every time I think of the term 'bucket list', I think of the things I want to do to define my life as Hunter Meyer. Primarily, I am stiving to work at SpaceX, where I could work for the future of humanity aside from my paycheck. Before I can do that, I need to finish my education which is a dream in itself, learning about the very functionality of the universe. This is an aspiration of mine because learning about physics will be a new spectacle through which I will be able to see the world in an enriched way. But this goal has no purpose if I never truly see the world. That is why I would love to travel to see the 7 wonders of the world while getting to enjoy hiking and back-packing along the way, a hobby of mine. With these things always in the front of my mind, I chose to start with the goal on which I could first start working: my education. I have put my nose to the grindstone by taking part in a dual-enrollment program called Running-Start. Through this, I have been taking on a full load of college classes at my local community college. I am on track to earn an Associate’s in Science by the time I graduate later this year. I have been given the gift of life. I have been blessed with a curious mind and a sense of ambition. I intend on not letting these things go to waste. In closure, I would like to bring a concept to mind: The Butterfly Effect. Just as the flap of a butterfly's wing in Brazil may cause a tornado in Canada, $500 could be the action that leads a student to discover Unified Field Theory.
