During the past couple years of my life, I've been trying to figure out who I am as a person. While struggling with depression, I fortunately got over my addictions and old habits. As a kid, I did many things to fit in, none of which suited me personally. Now though I feel like myself, healthy and independent. Except for the fact that I am living under my father's roof still.

Over the past year, I have been studying more and more of nature, I have grown a passion for it. I began using it like medicine. I even hitchhiked across the country to go see a national park, but I stopped before I got there, I did not want to spoil the occasion by myself, I needed a companion, so I went back home.

Now I am back home, I yearn to be free and living amongst nature. I know that I should go to school though, to get a college education. Though during my high school years, I seriously messed up. I had a horrible GPA, but I completed most classes with a "C" or above, especially the ones that colleges look at. I graduated with a 2.5 GPA, though my life was in serious turmoil at that point. During this time I took the ACT's and got a 18 on them. I was very dumb at this point of my life, I went to this test half drunk, and with no sleep. So next April, after my birthday, I will strive to the best I can on that test.

I need to be independent, on my own, and of course healthy. I feel I am past a point in my life. Like I need to get out and do what I am capable of, although I don't know what I want to study, I would probably love to study anything, just to be on my own.

So if I can I hope to get into a university in my state, or even out of state. I will probably apply for liberal arts, and science. Just to get on my own two feet, and learn more about myself.

I have no scholarships, nor financial aid. I will work to get into the best college I can. I will work and work to pay for as well to get any discount I can. I don't really know what schools offer, to get into them for cheaper.

All in all though, I just really need to get that out. Thanks for reading, and possibly saying something of your own.
