Hello, everyone!

I was prompted here to introduce myself to the forums so I'll try and make it short, sweet and to the point.

My name is Tom, I'm 25 years old and just starting to wade into the waters of what is, hopefully, a very bright future.
After not doing so well in school and completing a trade I no longer have any interest in, I am undergoing courses online as a bridge into university.
After getting a Distinction in the Introductory Mathematics course, I am halfway through my Senior Mathematics course with a mean grade of 91% after 2 progress tests. After another ~6 months, I'll be finished and undergo my Physics and Chemistry course.
I have a very high interest in becoming a Nuclear Engineer or really anything to do with making Nuclear Fusion our primary source of energy.

I'm an avid fan of F1 and could talk all day about it.

It's a pleasure to be apart of this forum.
Thank you for your time,
Tom
