Today I gave five people genuine compliments. At the gas station, I complimented a worker’s bright jacket and finally talked to Abdul, someone I’ve seen many times but never spoken to. I also met Debra, who opened up about her life and turned out to be one of the kindest people I’ve met.
Today I tried a class about quantum physics, and although I knew very little about it, I stuck through the session. I didn’t understand everything the professor said, but I was fascinated by how interesting the world is. I had no clue that there were parts of an atom that were smaller than protons and neutrons in the nucleus. I left with more questions than answers, but also with a sense of awe. It reminded me that curiosity matters more than mastery when you’re just beginning.

Today I toured an Amazon fulfillment center and followed a package’s journey from arrival to shipment. I saw how workers and robots coordinate at every stage—from scanning and stowing, to picking, packing, and labeling. What impressed me most wasn’t just the technology, but how people were still at the center of it all. Workers could voice concerns through the VOICE platform and see real changes made in response.
