I love history,

and in K-12, you take history classes,

and a lot of kids are bored silly in them.

The history I learn is whenever I go someplace,

I want to know what happened each decade,

you know, for the last like 500 years before.

And I'm passionate about trends,

and what does that information about the past

tell you about the future

and how I can be part of the future

and shape the future

and bring people together

to do innovative things.

So, I'm passionate about knowing

where things have come from

and helping shape where they can go.
