"I have made the executive decision at 24 years old to liquidate the remainder of my college fund to invest in my dreams. I have learned that self education not only tailors to my specific mission but allows me to focus on my dreams, innovations, and making my desired impact on the world. In today's society, I believe education is extremely valuable, but people can harness this power through self conducted research. Today is the day my life changes, the day where I put everything on the line to set forth on my journey to change the world."
