I'm an amateur astronomer. I work as a database administrator and I am now applying to PhDs in astronomy. I'd like to post and discuss my journey into becoming an Astronomer.

Where I'm from, during college there are no proper research experience that I could acquire, there are not enough resources. I'm not looking for motivation here, but I'm seeking help to strengthen my profile. I'm a good learner, highly self motivated, persistent. Got 8/10 and 9/10 CGPAs.
