“I’ve always had an affinity for money. It really took off with shoes. During eighth grade, I sold a pair of shoes to a friend for a profit and was surprised and amazed at my ability to make money. During my sophomore and junior year, if I knew a piece of clothing was going to be popular, I would always try and get my hands on it early and just resell it for a higher price. This year, though, I moved on to selling alternate IP (internet protocol) addresses that people can use to easily obtain new sneaker releases with my friend Allen Zhang. I will continue this passion for business and finance next year at the New York University Stern School of Business, where I hope to meet like-minded people who are also excited to bring both innovation and creativity to the future.”

“My sister and I have always wanted a dog. My dad claims he’s allergic, but I seriously doubt it. So one day, my sister Anjali won a fish. The next day, we got seven more fish because my dad likes to have eight of something. The next day, three or four of them died so we bought some more the next day. It’s been three years now and we’ve buried thirty dead fish in the backyard, but still no dog.”

“There are these very delicious items called chicken poppers. I’ve struggled to control myself whenever I see a pristine nugget. I feel the need to devour it.”

“Something interesting that has been on my mind recently has been this whole space race/exploration/adventure (that) is happening. Our evolution in science, specifically in the space frontier in recent years, has just been so fascinating to me. What the predicted changes in the next twenty are going to be (is) just mind-blowing. Presently, we are experiencing a resurgence of hopefully good and exciting science and will discover things that we have never seen before to help change what we understand about life as we know it entirely through these space explorations. As for me, I am fairly optimistic that new life forms will be found on places like Mars or the moons of Saturn, and it’s just going to totally change the way we view our position in the scheme of the universe and the galaxy.”
