The Pinnacle?
Hey everyone, how's life?
There is a weight on my shoulders, the weight of an oncoming storm, the same weight I have felt before all state auditions, the same weight of forgetting something for school and realizing it right before class, the same weight many feel before the critical unexpected. This weight is my interviews, this Friday.
Albeit, I am not nervous---yet. These interviews, at both 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm, determine whether I am accepted into UNM's BA/MD program. This program is a first year program for UNM, and the University of 25,000 students is only accepting 25 into it. High school seniors, good grades, and culturally diverse-thats what the application says (paraphrased). If I am accepted into this program, and I go through with it and don't drop out of it, then I am guarenteed a slot in UNM's medical school. Thats pretty damn cool.
At the same time, if I don't get into it, I plan to go to NM Tech and do Pre-med there, because of their renowned biology program. I could learn alot there I might not at UNM, and vice-versa. Only difference is that I will not have a guarenteed slot if I am not accepted into the BAMD program. I wonder which is the right path?
But, all I can do is hope that the right path is chosen for me, that whether or not I get accepted into the program is the way it is meant to be. As for anybody reading this, give me a prayer (if thats your thing), or good luck dance or something for me to do well at my interviews.
In other news, I worked for 3 hours and 1 minute today at the KUMON tutoring center. I am an official employee and this is my first paycheck job.
Now, listen to this, its crazy: I work for 7 hours a week, then every 2 weeks I get a slip of white paper from the office, and I take this slip of white paper to a bank, and there they turn it into little green slips of paper that I can use to buy things. Is that crazy or what?-I'll tell you, Capitalism is the bomb!
Once again, plz pray for me to do well at my interviews, and as always, have a good one-
Nathaniel
