    Can you still remember when, days before graduation, you’re dreamy about how you could change the part of your world?

  • Where to go next?

    Growing up isn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be. It’s not linear like how my well-meaning teachers sold it when I was young. Do this, and you’ll be that. After achieving this, you’ll head out to the next and continue to reach more extraordinary things. No one exactly told me at school how Read more
