Daniel Bolsonaro immigrated and constantly moving since young (he is now working as the main technical architect in the Spirit Stone). Therefore, he realizes that there are many ways in life and we shouldn’t limit ourselves to one path. As his parents can bring themselves from Brazil and to the United States, it shows that there are many life-changing roads in this world.
Unfortunately, his parents were getting old and with the high living cost in California, it is not easy for him to go for college. However, he received many offers and accepted the University of California, San Diego as his new starting point in life out of consideration for his family conditions. This is because the University of California is closer and it provided him with most scholarships.
He found a sense of belonging from the moment he arrived at the university. It was designed for people like him who want to learn hard. The serious and competitive environment was exactly what he wanted. In addition, the professors encouraged minorities to participate in the school social activities, so that they can blend in as soon as possible.
There are many immigrants in California compared to Louisiana, where Daniel lived, the people here are obviously more enlightened. Gradually, he gained the attention and recognition from his professors. He also often surprised them with his critical thinking. He provided his unique opinions and different answers to the mathematical problems and the analysis of numbers as he firmly believes that success does not comes in one way, but in many ways. The more you think, the further you see.
As he ventured in the digital field, he found that it is easy to make a fortune from the financial and economic industries after they were digitalized. However, how can someone who specializes in technology understand about these? He didn’t give up and studied for economics and financial markets in the library during his spare time. Sometimes in the study area, he will “stop” at the desks of economics and finance classmates, so that he can interact and learn more with them when they come.
Gradually, he gained more friends and interest in the digital economy. Although he still focuses on his profession, but he does not want to be a single-minded person. He has built up many contacts due to the fact that he has been in the public learning area all year round. He got an internship offer as an IT engineer from Paypal through a friend’s recommendation. In this way, he can do what he is interested in, and continue to enhance his economic knowledge, which is killing two birds with one stone.
