Aayaan Mehta. Remember the name, because in 15 years that name is going to be all over the front page of the Wall Street Journal. And before you say anything, I want to be an Economist so well, that part is sorted. Now that that is clarified, I am currently entering Year 13 in Dubai Gem Private School and I want to study in the USA upon completion of high school next year.

I turned 18 a couple of months back, but I don’t have a license yet so there isn’t really a point in me technically being an adult now is there?

Oh and I love sports, and when I say love I mean I’ll probably end up in a mental asylum without it. I follow more sports than I can keep track of, and play more than I can handle.

Saying I love travelling is an understatement, but then again there isn’t really a word to describe it. Since I was a 2-month-old baby shipped off to the USA for a holiday, travelling has been an integral part of my life that has shaped me and my beliefs into something far greater than I would have ever imagined. The experiences of understanding different cultures, meeting so many people and just exploring the world we live in is something that I am thankful for and would never give up.

This is my story, now it’s time to create a new one with Ajala.
