My name is Rohan Chaudhry and I am a junior at Half Hollow Hills High School West.I realized early on the importance of financial literacy in my life as my dad worked in the field of finance and always made me weigh the pros and cons of small financial decisions I would make in my daily life. The turning point in my life was when I took the self-learning course called ” Introduction to Financial Markets.” It opened my eyes to the power of compound interest and the many advantages of investing.
