Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
First I struggled in school.
Then I was diagnosed with dyslexia.
Then I got help from dyslexia education specialists that helped me cope with dyslexia.
Then I began to excel and made my way to High School.
Then I invented the new word that means awesome and amazing. The word is Honkenbonkers!
Then the word became popular in my school and I formed a company to promote the word.
Then my word was named in the Wall Street Journal as a new word to watch.
Then the word continued to grow in popularity and continues to expand!

Day to Day
I am currently still a student. Running a business is my "second job". I spend my time promoting the word Honkenbonkers which is a new word that means Awesome and Amazing. I run a website and sell merchandise promoting the word. A lot of my work is on the computer where I manage the website, social media, blogs, and online sales. I also promote the word everywhere I go. My goal is to make the word Honkenbonkers known and used commonly.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
The most important thing is to have dreams and follow those dreams. And if you have a dream and your goal is to make it succeed, no matter what it is, you should make it happen. If you don't know how to reach your goal then do some research and figure out how to make it a success. And don't let anything or anybody get in your way.
