Rupesh Jeyaram (India)Entry/Object ID
TNA.27Description
I was three when I came here. It was my parents' decision to come here. America feels like home, it always has. India also feels like home. I feel comfortable wherever I am. At the end of the day, the Earth is my home. But America has more opportunities than anywhere else.
I'm a student at Caltech. We're working on the most cutting-edge stuff. The same things are being done in India, but not to the same degree. Here, I'm able to express my full potential.
My dream is a work in progress. I want to make something that helps a lot of people. That's a very vague thing to say, I know. America helped shaped that dream, because I would not have had the audacity to say I want to make something that helps millions of people if I was still in India. Here, there's a passion for inventing and knowing that your innovation is respected and valued.Collection
