As a 19-year-old still trying to organize my dreams, I found your story very interesting and inspiring. Seeing people who have gone through the same things you're going through and have now achieved their goals is quite motivating. I loved the part "The secret is to never stop following the new direction, no matter how long it takes," because that's what goes through my head almost every day—that urge to give up because the goal will take too long or is too "unrealistic." Great writing, thank you for that! ✨
Paul, I am inspired by your grit in this story. I am glad for the "what if?" question that your 16 year old self dared to ask. And I am grateful for the vocational commitment of Dr. Bierman (and others) who was able to hold the standards high for you. Well done and cheering you on!
As a 70 year old, I am inspired by your story. The main takeaway for me is: the only thing holding me back is myself.
Thanks for sharing. It's always us isn't it?

I really resonated with this one.
It’s fun reflecting on how video games has affected my own philosophy (for me: GTA V, Pokémon Dungeon, etc)
Philosophy and writing is truly an autotelic endeavor.
Keep writing, I could feel the joy! Thank you Paul
