What are you doing this summer? I am creating a startup named Careergate (careergate.co) with some of my best friends to help students begin their professional journey and to help startups scale their product to universities all over the US. I am also creating a podcast/blog named Made Of Questions (madeofq.com) with weekly posts to follow all of the books/resources I learn from.
 
What has been the most memorable part of your experience? The most memorable experiences I have had is catching up with my other college friends and seeing how much we have learned in our first year at college. I have also had some extremely memorable and insightful informational interviews with some inspirational industry professional.
One thing you have learned during this summer experience? While I have learned tons from reading books and podcasts, co-founding my startup, and creating my blog, the biggest thing I have learned is how valuable my time is with my family. I recognized that this could be my last summer living with my family because of opportunities in the Bay Area, meaning I need to make the most of it when I am with them.
