HUMAN AFTER ALL: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN KNOWING AND DOING

By Anonymous · NG

At nineteen, I am learning that knowing what to do and having the resources to do it are two different things. In this personal essay, I reflect on my pursuit of financial independence, the realities of limited resources, and how artificial intelligence helps me learn, explore opportunities, and imagine a different future without being able to remove every barrier in my way. This is a story about ambition, uncertainty, family, and what it means to remain human while using technology to find a way forward.
