" I believe in that people have good intentions. We need each other and cannot achieve our goals in this world without the help of others. I believe love and unity make the world go around. Through my love for technology, I hope to transcend barriers of poverty and ignorance in my neighborhood and to overcome issues such as depression and anxiety affecting many youth today. "
