Bao's current situation:

I graduated from York University with a degree in Social Psychology. I recently moved back to my hometown of Kitchener-Waterloo, On. At heart I am a film maker, I completed a short fiction film and it is currently in consideration at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Korean Film Festival.

Bao's blog post:

I feel that there is a general fear and confusion with my generation in regards to our financial stability. Many like myself have graduated from University and are struggling to attain a secure job. Those currently in University or College fear graduating because of our current economical predicament. I  myself have borrowed money from the government for education and now carry the burden of paying back that large debt.

Despite the dreadful situation my generation currently stuck in, I find that we are still optimistic about the future. I can't explain it. I guess we just see it as it is and still hope for the best.
