"I went to community college, which helped me figure out what I wanted to major in. That led me to pursue a degree in business management and get accepted into UC Irvine, where I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. I learned so much from my professors and keep in touch with many of them. We still go to lectures together. I am an active learner and subscribe to countless journals, periodicals, and newsletters, which keep me up to date with just about everything in my field. Earning that degree was just the beginning of my learning life journey."

"I attended Chapman University and earned a degree in business administration and management. This was an unusual period for me, in that I was running my uncle's grocery store. He let me have full reign of it, putting everything I was learning into practice in real-time. I increased our profits over those four years by 16.8%. As soon as I graduated, my uncle asked me if I wanted to continue to run the store, and I told him no. The world was my oyster. He was relieved. He sold the business for quite a profit and used some of the proceeds to pay off my student loans."
