21:44 love the story man. Currently find myself in a similar spot, I’m out in the Calabasas area, about to start my third year of Juco and I also had a lot of bad habits pre college, I’ve been a lot better ever since but even the first 2 semesters were tough, hoping to head out to SDSU Fowler college next spring. I also feel like I had identity issues, my parents are Hispanic and I’m a first generation student and growing up now refelcting I feel like I was to white to be around my Hispanic friends and to Hispanic to be around my white friends, it was a battle at times I didn’t where I fit in. Crazy how this journey works man, I’m sure you can relate back to when you first started to correct your habits and really started to do a lot better, it’s tough but everything I’ve done up until now has been and I’ve done it. I’m applying for sdsu in the fall and again, it’s tough I messed up my first sem so idk if they’ll take me but we’ll see, love the story man🙏🏽 it’s amazing and makes me feel good to see that I can actually change if I really want to, so far so good
@@Dr_andrewchoi Thanks for your reply. Did you change careers? I’m much younger (22) but changed careers from pre-med to software engineering and currently doing an internship so it’s always cool to see people who didn’t just go straight from highschool to their career right away.
