Personal Stuff
I go to a school that is predominantly poor with 86% of the school qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
I have Asperger’s and went to Speech and OT for 8 years because of it.
I have had a job working as a bike mechanic since I was 14 and have worked there ever since.
I started to invest some of the money that I had and have from working and have been able to yield 22 to 27 percent ROI yearly.
I volunteered for a summer to teach young children in the Housing Authority homes.
I was on the Health Advisory Board for the school district.
My dad went to Duke undergrad, so Legacy, but since RD doesn’t add much.
Thanks so much for reading. Any feedback is great!
