I like programming and math. And FBLA. And reading. And FBLA.

Pet Peeves:

People who tack random syllables onto the end of my name (Edward-o, Gao-y)

Irrational Phobias:

When I was young, I always thought that the second story of a building would fall onto the first. Now, I always feel like the entire building is going to crumble because an enormous earthquake will suddenly occur.

Little known talent:

I can whistle by breathing in, but not by blowing outward.

Happily retired at the ripe old age of 40

Reading, hanging out with friends, PROGRAMMING!

If you could wish for anything:

Another wish?

Someone you would like to meet, dead or otherwise:

It would be awesome to meet Einstein.

Something you want to do before you die:

Be a CEO of a startup. No, I’m not in Intro to Business

Advice to others:

Sleep more. Live longer.

FBLA-related:

Why did you join FBLA?

My friend convinced me to join. I’m glad he did.

What does FBLA mean to you?

It’s a place where you can learn by doing, not by taking notes.

What events have you competed in for FBLA?

I’m currently competing in Desktop Application.

 

 

Thanks Edward!

Love,
