Boarding school was liberating, so much so that I focused almost solely on my computer science passion to the detriment of other subjects.
I founded the Programming Club to teach peers to code well beyond the two school computer science (CS) classes offered, resulting in furthering my coding knowledge to prepare for growing classes. Naively, I plotted ideas to become the "next big thing". Needless-to-say my report cards showed one cannot be a genius without studying. Despite having built an elaborate online network of acquaintances and mentors, lack of business knowledge meant I was not ready for entrepreneurship.
My junior year I became fascinated in simplifying intricate problem solving efforts, past and present, in all of my subjects.
