One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After graduating college, one of my best friends and I travelled to Shanghai to start a business together, helping Chinese students apply to private high schools in the US. We set up our office at a WeWork co-working space in the city and lived in his grandma's flat. It was one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences I've had.
