I wanna tell you a story. It’s about a super good looking Asian that rose to have a high IQ. It was not always the case. At one point, it was small.
Plot spoiler, I was not always 6′ 5″. I used to be a baby
I share this with you because your baby startup may not be beautiful out of the incubator chute (Y combinatorial double entendre intended!). I advocate and amplify what I curate because rules regulations, laws and cultural common occurrences can change. For the better, it can change.

This is analogous to an Illinois engineering undergrad put on academic probation after summer school. Like that makes any sense. Well, I know first hand what it is like to be diagnosed retarded.
Well, I know first hand what it is like to graduate with engineering award and on Deans list after being on academic probation. I know the visceral pain and vicarious pain of seeing friends fail out. Then give up their academic dream of graduating a tier 3 college like the University of Illinois, Urbana (champaign is where your frat sits.)
Well I know first hand what it was like to graduate with the highest starting salary as an engineer at University of Illinois with a November job offer at a Fortune 100 with a May graduation date. Concurrent, I had multimillion in revenue for my college startup. You see, 100% success is an illusion. Dean’s list with legendary engineering awards gloss over the near academic Bk.

Can we please turn around Home Joy
Did someone register @homeDeLaJOY yet
It fells like my smart classmates who got admitted to U of I. Then they get put on academic probation and then choke. They choked because mentally they just gave up being productive and started to yard sale their shitake

Did you go to a college that gave you all As. Seems like it.
