I joined\u00a0Future Makers, an incubation program for young wannabe entrepreneurs, and started working on my idea: building boardgames to help kids study school subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/851\/1*PrnzSZ_8uulHZ2JobTwjFg.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In my 20s I had a lot of ideas, dropped them all. In time I wanted to sell jewelry I made, build a website where I wrote about how I learned stuff online, I recently wanted to sell my dad\u2019s homemade jams (he makes amazing stuff!). The most important project: I wanted to write and make a living out of it. But somewhere along the way I quit, thinking I couldn\u2019t make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of designing board games to get kids to study school topics first came when playing Risk and Ticket to Ride. In a last minute frenzy, I jotted down the idea of a board game for pupils. I was among the 50 finalists that made the cut and among the 28 that pitched their business ideas in front of a jury last week. It was a long road this summer, weeks packed of training and courses. tiresome evenings with team meetings debating decisions and next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s this cliche quote that runs free on social media:<em>&nbsp;\u2018find what you love and you\u2019ll never work a day in your life.\u2019&nbsp;<\/em>Yes, it is cliche, but it bears a modicum of truth. I lost track of the hours I put into this project and found meaning in building something. Escaping the digital universe and creating something useful, tangible. I\u2019ve made it here and I do not plan to quit, I\u2019ll keep going and bring&nbsp;<em>\u2018\u021aar\u0103, \u021aar\u0103, vrem rom\u00e2ni\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;to life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer I made the first steps toward creating something of my own.
