“
I really like inventions, innovation and doing new things so I think that is what I am going to pursue. After college, I want to work in startups rather than for big companies because I feel that at this age it is more important to learn about passion and how to start a new enterprise. I want to learn and I want to experience. Kings helped me a lot. Since the beginning, when I had a few problems. I think everything good that’s happened to me since I got here is because of the help from Kings, without them I would be lost.
