I need to read this

There was a year when I was in high school that I picked a different path for myself. A different school model. It didn’t work out as expected and turned out to be the busiest and most stressful time of my life to that point. From wake to sleep I was busy every day with school work.
I am grateful for that year. I unlocked a new understanding of what I am capable of. There was a clarity of mind I associate with that time as well. I was thoughtful about what I wanted for myself and took action towards it.
As embarrassing as this is to admit, I have not kept that same clarity of mind, directionality, and consistent action. Life changes and distractions come into play. I can forgive myself for this, I am young and still learning.
I’ve recently noticed myself entering a period similar to that time. I spend considerable time every day doing work with my future in mind. I am pushing myself where I haven’t been in the past.
It may be some time before I am the person I aim to be, and perhaps more time until I’ve achieved the future I envision for myself. But I making progress and good things will inevitably come.

The reason I can’t work on this project for the time being is because I need to find a job. If any of y’all have a job for me in the Houston area, please do reach out.

This seems like a good opportunity to do an #introductions since I never did a proper nostr introduction so here I am. I’m Carson and I joined nostr about 2 years ago when I saw Jack Dorsey tweet his npub. As I learned about nostr, I got excited because it actually fixes the issue of censorship, and serves as a protocol engineered for free speech. I'd been mostly off social media for a few years (more because It's easy to waste time on and I’m worried about how it’ll affect my brain down the line). Nostr introduced me to bitcoin, and though I haven’t read as deep as I’d like into it yet, it seems to be pretty cool.
I am in my senior year of college. I will be graduating with a BS in Materials Science and Engineering in a few short months. I chose this path because of the interest in nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, more specifically) I developed in high school. While in school, I got a job working in a nanomaterials research lab, where I became associate manager (until I quit today!).
Through working in research for nearly four years and reading research for five years, I have come to think research and research publishing could benefit from change. It is in my goals this year to learn to code and build what I see as the solution to the issues with research, and share that here with y’all.
One of my main goals at the moment is to find a job for when I graduate. I’m really interested in moving to the Austin or Houston areas. However, I recognize that I am at the mercy of life and the opportunities I encounter. I am entrepreneurial, fast learning, and motivated to work hard, given the right environment.
I love talking to and learning from people, biking, reading, wristwatches, cars and motorcycles (and fixing them). There’s lots more to me that I’ll try to share over time.
I haven't engaged a ton with the community on here, but I've followed some of y’all for a long time, and am happy to be a witness to the awesomeness here. Here’s to getting to know you all better and getting more involved this year! #note19nf…e9ez
