You are faced with an opportunity that you are probably unqualified for.

Do you:

A.) Apply anyway, because you are awesome, because you believe in yourself, because Obama would do it (maybe)?

Or

B.) Focus on other, more attainable goals in your limited time?

C.) Become mired in an internal debate about limits in general, wondering if all limits are only

I got a lot out of this. It made me go for a lot of stuff, back when I never went for stuff.

I guess my main question would be, are you unqualified or unready? Cause unqualified does not matter, I think, but unready does, I think.

Unqualified. None of the other applicants last year had as little career experience as me, and most were in their mid-30s. Weirdly enough, that last part freaked me out the most. I feel like a little kid trying to order liquor at a store where I can't see over the counter.

Still, I don't think I will let it stop me from trying. Thanks for the encouragement. I really want to visit SVS someday, to get some perspective on what school can be. Jace called me out for sounding like the "before" in an SVS commercial the other day. "Are you tired of..." - you get the picture. Thanks again.
