large one, as I know my family and friends and they know me. And having my
family and friends by my side is my strength that keeps me moving on and
 meeting new people which grows my capital. And my passion for making
others laugh and happy as well as to entertain others is my passion.

2. What is your intellectual capital? What is your expertise in one or two

subjects or skills? (These do not have to be exclusively academic subjects)
As for my intellectual capital, i’ve studied in mechanics, video editing, nursing,
ceramics, cooking, bartending, and gaming. Though some would question video
games, games takes skill, focus, precision, and patience. Plus just developing a game
takes hard work, experience in animation, and an understanding of code.
3. How can you gain social and financial capital to accomplish the goals you’ve
established for yourself or to create the kind of life you want to have?
My goal to get both social and financial capital lies within the future of
technology. Since my goal is being a youtuber, it can support me financially as well

youtube, which I already do, I play games for people and i’m good at it, I keep my fan
based entertained and I hope that someday, my numbers grow larger so that I can
keep doing what I do best, which is also what I love doing.
