I’m a straight-A student most of my life. In high school, I was the Salutatorian of the class—the person with the second highest GPA of 4.4. Although I have many awards in my academic life, my greatest accomplishment was taking 10 AP exams in just one year, my high school senior year. It was the hardest challenge I had putted myself through. The result? I passed all 10 exams and ultimately accumulated 59 college credits from all AP exams, which helped me earn an associate degree immediately after I graduated from high school.
Fast-forward to college, I currently hold four degrees, one bachelor’s degree in Economics-Quantitative Analysis and three associate degrees, plus a minor in International Politics. In college, Palomar College and San Diego State University, I had 95-99% in most classes. Despite having these high grades, I still had time to play tennis most of weekdays. I tried to play tennis whenever I could, except when I had an upcoming exam or a paper. I’m telling you this because during college, I managed my time very well. Time management is a skill that you (or anyone) should learn, because you have about only 14 waking hours per day to do the things that you love or the things that are meaningful to you and your family.
Having said that, I hope to pass on all of my practical knowledge and wisdom to you through my books.
May you be blessed,
Minh Tri
