Journey

Reflections from Nepal


In Nepal, I volunteered at schools and rural villages, distributing supplies and engaging with students. Beyond helping, I realized how much I had taken my own privileges for granted. This experience taught me that education and opportunity are not universal—and strengthened my resolve to contribute where I can.

This journey continues to shape how I view responsibility, privilege, and community.

Investment Reflections


In early 2023, I began documenting my investment journey, initially driven by curiosity about how markets move. Over time, it became a study of patience, analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty. Tracking each choice taught me to see investing not as prediction, but as reflection—a discipline of learning from outcomes and thinking long-term.

02. Why I Invested in Tesla, Apple, and NVIDIA

It’s been a few weeks since Mom transferred $100,000 to investment bank account and showed me how to use 영웅문S 글로벌, the stock trading app she uses for overseas investments.


At first, the charts and numbers looked confusing, but after a few practice clicks, I started to get used to it.


Today, I finally made my first real purchases.


Mom told me there’s no single “right way” to invest — that my first portfolio should reflect my own curiosity.


So instead of splitting the money evenly, I went with what feels right to me.


  • *40% Apple — because I use Apple products every single day. My phone, my laptop, my earbuds — they all just work. I trust this brand.
  • *40% NVIDIA — because I love gaming, and I know GPUs are the heart of every gaming computer. Plus, AI and graphics are everywhere now; it just feels like a smart future bet.
  • *20% Tesla — honestly, I just like their cars. I see them on YouTube all the time, and it feels cool to say I own a part of it.

It felt exciting watching the orders go through on 영웅문S 글로벌.
I kept checking my phone to make sure everything was filled correctly.
It’s strange — I’ve always known these companies through their products, but now I own small parts of them.


I didn’t choose this mix because of complicated analysis or charts.
I just went with what I like and what makes sense to me: Apple because I use it, NVIDIA because I game, and Tesla because I dream about driving one someday.


Mom didn’t correct me. She just said,


“Everyone starts with a reason that feels small. The point is to write it down — so when you change, you’ll see how far you’ve come.”


So I’m writing it down — my first real portfolio.
Maybe one day I’ll laugh at how simple it was, but right now, it feels like the start of something serious.
