* Beyond High School: My short-term goal is to attend college to study medicine. My long-term goal is to have a beautiful family and to serve others.
* What do you think is the biggest problem facing youth today?
"I think the biggest problem facing youth today is a lack of purpose. We live in a world with so much advancement, diversity and oppurtunity, yet many kids - and even adults - do not know their purpose in life. I believe that if children can find something they are truly passionate about, not only will they live happier and better lives, but they will also benefit others. Children should find their passions and loves early on so that they don't waste the rest of their life searching for purpose, but instead using their purpose to help the world."
