It was rather by chance, but it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me.

My idea was well-received by many stakeholders, so I made the decision to pursue it.

5. WHAT MANTRA,QUOTE,LINE OR PHRASE DO YOU SAY OFTEN TO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE YOURSELF? Expect the worst, But hope for the best.
6. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE SHOULD CARE ABOUT YOUR VENTURE? Today's high school students are tomorrow's workforce. It's important to take problems by their roots and start to change things; I believe we have done wrong by them for far too long.
7. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONE TO MAKE YOUR VENTURE A SUCCESS?
As a UX Designer it is my job to understand the pains of our target group very well. I have experienced failure myself and want to try my best to make a change in today's world.

I don't believe that there are people who don't have a special skill.
10. WHAT'S ONE DECISION YOU MADE AS A FOUNDER THAT COMPLETELY CHANGED THE COURSE OF YOUR JOURNEY? Originally I wanted to be a UX Designer in my own company, but since there are so many tasks and other things to worry about, my focus changed to becoming the COO and being responsible for more operative tasks.
11. WHAT DO YOU REGARD AS YOUR GREATEST SUCCESS PERSONALLY & AS A FOUNDER? I don't think there is one event that was the greatest success. It's the little moments when you take some time to look back at everything you have achieved so far. I am happy that i get to grow every day and step out of my comfort zone. Becoming a founder was scary, And my greatest success so far is staying consistent.
12. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY? I like that I don't take myself too seriously.
13. WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN IMPROVE ABOUT YOURSELF, AND WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT BY NOW?
I still fight a lot with social anxiety, presenting myself confidently in front of strangers.
I have learned a lot how to grow out of myself, but I feel like the nervousness will always remain.
14. WHAT'S THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED OR GIVEN, OR BOTH?
Never get advice from someone who hasn't tried it themselves.
15. ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 - 10 BEING THE BEST. HOW WELL DO YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR TRUTH STORY IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD BY YOUR COMMUNITY? ( WHY NOT 10? ) I would say 10, because I always try to be as open as possible with others about my experiences.
16. WHO DO YOU MOST ADMIRE AND WHY? People who stay humble, regardless of their profession or social status.
I believe we are all human beings that should support one another and not drag others down to feel better about ourselves.
