Time is of the Essence

To be honest I haven’t read the Third Heirloom yet, but I plan to finish it before the second meeting. I’m a twenty-one year old full-time student who attends a two-year community college so I’m dependent on my dad’s money. I’m independent with everything else. I make my own choices and I do things on my own. My major is Biology and I will ultimately become a medical researcher after earning my Ph.D. so that I can discover new cures or better treatments to untreatable diseases and to solve the mystery of biological immortality. I’m concerned about supporting myself financially because currently I don’t work. Am I taking the right path of helping to find the solution to biological immortality by depending on my dad financially to support my studies?
