\u201cHonestly the problem with University is it tires you out. But it also humbles you to the point of no return. It takes a lot of years to build that confidence again.\u201d

\u201cEvery time an opportunity came up in the bay area, I tried to make up some excuse to not make it happen. Even though I knew it would be a great experience. But ultimately when twitter came up, it was very difficult to say no.\u201d
