I grew up in Houston Texas and I would describe my hometown as a very small but tight knit back country town. Everyone knew everyone. My parents were my biggest influencers growing up because of their hardships growing up. They were able to give me plenty of knowledge and tips about how to approach life and they always pushed me more to be the best at whatever I do. The greatest lesson I learned from my childhood is that nothing is ever given to you, so you must figure out how to seize the opportunity or find out ways to open new avenues to achieve your goal. I currently go to college at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and I am studying strategy and entrepreneurship with a minor in philosophy. I am part of Phi Delta Theta at boulder Colorado.
