Sometimes I do regret that I didn't choose journalism as my major, since that is where my passion lies, but I do believe that finance will give me a good background for whatever career I pursue.

My favorite memory ...

is of the time spent with my Grandpa.

Why I write ...

I write to provoke action.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

classical literature/CNN/funny talk radio shows.

My first job ...

was refereeing soccer games. Those parents can be harsh.

My best moment ...

was when I discovered that I can publish my articles where people can see them.

My inspiration ...

is my ambition.
