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.

05. What I Noticed After a Few Months

It’s been eight months since I started investing through 영웅문S 글로벌, and I’m beginning to see both my habits and my fears more clearly.


After I sold all my NVIDIA shares in June, I couldn’t stop thinking about that decision. For weeks I kept watching AI headlines, chip shortages, and every tech video that mentioned GPUs. Finally, in late August, I decided to buy again — 1,000 shares of NVIDIA at around $40 each.
It wasn’t the perfect price, but it felt right.


I also had about $29,000 left in cash after the sale, and I used it to buy Amazon, because honestly, I use it every week. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t. I figured a company that delivers everything people need probably won’t vanish. Maybe it’s not clever analysis, but it made sense to me.


Here’s where my portfolio stands today:


CompanySharesBuy PriceCurrent Price (Sep 2023)Current ValueProfit/Loss
Apple (AAPL)281$142.28$174.49$49,050+$9,050
NVIDIA (NVDA)1,000$40.00$45.17$45,170+$5,170
Tesla (TSLA)115$173.22$274.39$31,554+$11,554
Amazon (AMZN)220$130.00$138.12$30,386+$1,146


Total Portfolio Value: $156,160 → + $56,160 (+56.1%)


 

This time, I felt calmer buying. I didn’t check the screen every hour — maybe once or twice a day.
I’m starting to understand that investing isn’t about always being right, it’s about staying involved long enough to learn.


Still, I can’t say I fully understand what makes the prices move. The news talks about the Federal Reserve, inflation, and interest rates, but it’s hard to see how those words connect to the green and red numbers on my app.


Mom told me,


“You’re learning the difference between guessing and understanding. Keep watching — one day, the pattern will make sense.”


So that’s what I’m doing now: watching, taking notes, and trying to find the pattern.
