MY STRENGTHS

Initiative

I'm passionate about what I do, and never do things half-heartedly: The Ukraine and Russia conflict had a massive impact on the world, and through my curiosity, I continue learning more about the issue and using my platform in the Asian Student Union to present at one of our meetings.

Compassionate

I want to listen to every story and perspective: When tutoring Eh Doh at the refugee center, I tried to understand his position and taught him through my actions. I realize that these refugees were just like me, and I should just keep reaching out to help them.

Persistence

I'm motivated and will continue to work towards any goal I set: I’ve encountered days where I couldn’t physically continue. Even though I could give it up and just drive home, I realize that tough days make easier ones worth more.
