'Time will tell' is my motto, as I believe time is a very important unit in life. If you are working hard on your dreams, you will get rewarded for your efforts. There is only one unit of measurement that will determine your hard work and that is time. It is not about how early you wake up but what you do with your time.

My advice to all current students is to believe in themselves and work on their dreams. You are the captain of your life so work hard and you will reach your goals.
