Meeting with people from different countries with unique cultural backgrounds, I am deeply influenced by the global entrepreneurial environment that attract all talented people to join the central node of Silicon Valley.

Growing up as daughter of two immigrant refugees, I learned to conserve my resources because we were not always financially stable and had to minimize household spending with methods such as attempting home remedies before going to a doctor. Like my parents, my grandmother followed the same tradition as she believed western physicians made patients sicker and therefore did not trust them. When she was suddenly admitted to the hospital for fluid leakage of the liver, the damage to her internal…

Some people say it leads to bad consequences and other say it can lead to accomplishing things. But what really does technology addiction really lead to. The three questions I am going to answer are does technology use lead to violent behavior, how much screen time should kids have, and are there any benefits to technology. The first question is…

topic when I am writing because I start to think about other areas of the topic and do not stay focused on the main point. I go on rants about topics that are not related to the main point. For example, in my first development write about the silicon valley school, I do not get to the main purpose of the text until a few paragraphs down.

Little did I know that at the same time a bigger and more promising company was making their entry into…
