I am 18 years old, posses the intention to become a grandmaster one day or at least a candidate master!
When I was 18, I wrote this. I am nearing 20 and realize that I will accomplish nothing of significance. Still won't stop trying though.
I am 20, almost 21, university is taking a lot from me, but now I realize if I had kept playing every day, I could have kept a nice ELO rating. DARN IT!
