My curiosity drives me. Find what you love. I'm meant to
help people; maybe this is where I'm supposed to help people.
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out. But I think I've
found something I really enjoy. For a lot of young people, - find
something you enjoy. Experiment and try something new,
and if it doesn't work, go and move on.
