Message

Your time at university is the start of one of the most significant times in your life: a period of growth that will last until you're about 30. Don't just try to get those four years over with; instead, pour yourself into something you're passionate about. Even if things are hard sometimes, it's important to do your best to stick it out. Live your life so that later on down the road, you can speak with confidence about your time in college. It doesn't have to be about what you studied. If smartphone games are what moves you, then try to become the best in the world in that field. I have high expectations of you.
