I am aware of the challenges ahead of me, and I am willing to work hard to reach that goal, just as my father did.

    Ever since the day I was born I have always experienced a blurred line between life and death. Whether it was the date of my birth where I barely managed to overcome the severe complications I had, or whether it pertains to the many relatives I have lost over my short adolescence, this distortion has shown me that the line between life and death is very narrow. I have truly come to understand what it means to “be here one moment, and gone the next.” For this reason I have always had an admiration and appreciation of the people who dedicate their lives to shielding death from others, and holding that line off just a tiny bit longer.…

At that age, around 9-10, instead of being super interested in cartoons and animations, I was interested in science fiction movies, especially Hacker related.…
