If you could wish for anything:

Another wish?

Something you want to do before you die:

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

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!
