<p>I am originally from Serbia, but because war ravaged my country my mom brought me and my brother here as refugees with only $26 in her pocket. Didn't learn English until the third grade and did not know what I wanted my career to be until last year. I am now determined to finish my degree and begin my career on wall street.</p>

Started college in 2007, unsure what I wanted to do I dropped out and became an assistant store manager at Walmart helping run $80+ million dollar supercenters. At 19, I was one of the youngest managers anyone had seen. After two years I determined this was not the right career for me and re-enrolled in school during spring of 2011</p>
