Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. –H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The above is one of my favorite quotes. Optimism and kindness are two virtues that I strive to possess, even though little roadblocks may be thrown in randomly every day.

I descend from first generation immigrants of mainland Chinese origin. To be specific, I am of Hakka (客家) descent. As a daughter from first generation immigrants, I grew up learning the importance of hard work and how diligence and studies will create wonderful opportunities in a land that previous ancestors had not visited. Thus, I am similar to many other second generation Chinese immigrants who have a primary focus on studies during the years until college.

However, my interests do not only stretch to my studies and then end. I always like to explore new things and taste new experiences. As a student, school offers a variety of opportunities through a number of activities, which I am truly grateful for. But I also pursue website designing, website developing, teaching, and other leadership positions
