My Bank of Passions and Devotions
I am a seeker as I always seek to expand the breadth and depth of my knowledge, as well as to challenge ideas. I have a keen interest to learn and, as an International Baccalaureate Diploma student and an Entrepreneur starting a business, love taking risks. Nonetheless, I have an avid interest in the world of finance and investment banking, for which I have won national awards and founded school extracurricular clubs related to the discipline. I see myself as prepared for college, since I am good in a lot of academic disciplines, as well as shaped as a leader.
Aside from the academics, I have an acute interest in traveling. It nurtures one's experience and horizons. When traveling, I am always immersed into different cultures, and it is a way to experience the world, as well as to analyze it through different focal lens.
Also I have often devoted my time to the community in order to help the needy; I've traveled in places in the Caribbean to help impoverished communities, which I think is an essential and valuable act in order to fulfill a sense of accomplishment in giving back to a community.
Some of my passions include playing basketball, cycling, constructing my business, being devoted to the community, as well as to learn about technology, programming, and finance.
"Success in Business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they have ever been."
