In Washington, D.C., I explore the city, meet inspiring people, enjoy new foods, and attend Topcoder competitions, grateful for every moment and God’s guidance along the way.

I won a trip to Washington, D.C., through Topcoder’s graphic design competition, experiencing God’s help during the whole trip, reconnecting with old friends, and exploring the U.S. Capitol.

I became trapped in gambling, mainly online poker but eventually found freedom through prayer, Christian fellowship, the Bible, and God's mercy and healing.
