      "My vision is simple. It is clear and it is the way of the future. 

     

      I believe that the future is algorithms and the value of children learning this skill to live better lives is underestimated.

     

      Capitalizing on the relationship between technology and education reform will help develop in the students the higher-order skills necessary to function effectively in the world beyond the classroom.

     

      What I love most about my vision is that it has great potential of protecting children from abuse and neglect and instead, give children a chance to have healthy and productive lives through computer science education."
