I purchased this plant. I think it’s a type of Snow Rose. I’ve been so intrigued and interested in bonsai plants.
Can I somehow make this into a bonsai by any chance?

Well, surely.
Serissas are extensively used as bonsai, but don't ask me why because I hate them.
Not the easiest plant for a beginner.
Take a look at the link:

Thank you Clicio! I figured that since I’ve killed this plant once already! Lol
Well I wonder if I just chop it down and repot it maybe I’ll keep it as a regular plant and not a bonsai. I’ll check out the link you sent me. Thanks again!!!

Oh btw.. any recommendations on the best beginner plant to start with?

Anyone that is native to your area or grown easily in gardens in your area . That is really the best start.

If you tell where you are it is possible to narrow down your options further.
