RE: Kyle Broflovski
Statement of Intent for Graduate School
Vers. 1
My work centers on the preservation of our world through sustainable energy. For my entire academic career, and even before then, I've had a passion for environmental science, specifically horticulture and organic chemistry. During my time at the University of Colorado - Boulder, I worked in our department's greenhouse. While working there I had some say in what our team grew. I also learned how to diagnose illness and other malfunctions in plants.
did you know that a plant deprived of sunlight will stretch itself as far as it fucking can to reach the god damn sun? sometimes stretching itself so far it DIES in the process, the human equivalent being snapping your own neck to escape a collapsing building, trying to breathe anything that isn't cinder dust again-
You will have noticed on my transcript that there are gaps in between semesters and a few classes with no credits. I can explain this. For a period of my life, I was homeless and only able to attend school sporadically. I failed some classes because there were weeks on end where I couldn't find it in me to get up and go to school, I hated myself so much, I hated my life, I hated what happened to me, I hated I hated I hated, I hated everything. I wanted to kill myself. I felt too dumb for college anyway - I'm not exactly society's best.
But I'm better now. I'm working on getting better.
I'm not sending this letter to you. I'll write a better one when my brain isn't a bucket of dead moths.
