My whole reason for joining HOK was to become a really good artist and with my two mentors leaving, I didn't have a chance or have time to become better.

By having a team, it allowed me to have more time to do things like this (mentoring high school students) and to go around and meet people and just help more people.

I changed my mantra to "My life seems to be imbalanced in a positive and chaotic way... but understanding the imbalance while managing and creating harmony of my life's aspects is key."

"I feel like you define your chaos and you can determine if it is a bad or good thing. Just like money, it isn't bad or good, but chaos I believe is the same, its not bad or good, and you can define it for yourself."
