Environmental engineering
If I had studied environmental engineering, I would have finished it since 4 years ago. It's so difficult to think about the things that you didn't [complete/finish?]. I've worked since I was 15 years old to be able to pay for my expenses, so I finished the high school older than [by "older" do you mean that high school took you extra years to complete? You could perhaps instead say that you finished high school "later than" your classmates] my classmates. Then my grandfather died and my sister and I have had to move to another apartment, because where we lived with my grandfather it was enough too expensive for us. A few years later, I could have get enrolled in one of the best public universities in Mexico, but I was not happy about my decision because I chose choose to study at an online university instead. At first it was pretty cool because I could work and study at the same time, however if I'd studied environmental engineering... everything would have been diferentent different [in what way?]. The only thing I know, One of the best decisions I've made was to keep studying English because of I found [it led to] a good job where I could apply for to a university test again and to study environmental engineering and to be able to [pursue my passion of] helping to the environment.Initial edits are in other comment. here's where I might take this in a second draft:
I've worked since I was 15 years old to be able to pay for my expenses, which is why I finished high school later than my classmates. When my grandfather died and rent became too expensive, and my sister and I had to move to another apartment, because where we lived with my grandfather was too expensive for us. A few years later, I could have enrolled in one of the best public universities in Mexico, but I chose to study at an online university instead. At first it was pretty cool because I could work and study at the same time, however if I'd studied environmental engineering…everything would have been different [in what way? add on another sentence that speaks to the challenges].
One of the best decisions I've made was to keep studying English because it led to a good job where I could apply to a university again to study environmental engineering and be able to pursue my passion of helping the environment. If I had studied environmental engineering the first time, I would have finished 4 years ago, but [example: I learned a lot in those 4 years that keeps me motivated every day. Only one year remains before my dream of working as an environmental engineer becomes a reality.]
