Having a rich multi-religious background has enriched my perspective on spirituality and culture.

  • Despite being non-religious, I approach the study of every form of religion with deep respect and curiosity. I spent two years in a Christian high school affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. Presently, I dedicate time each day to reading the Dao De Jing, exploring the teachings within. Additionally, I've gained insights into Buddhism through extensive watching of Buddhist sutta lectures, totaling over 120 hours. My interest lies not only in understanding diverse religious beliefs but also in appreciating their cultural and philosophical significance.

Affiliations

For the past two years, I've dedicated around an hour each day to practicing a traditional Chinese mental health technique. It's been a consistent part of my routine, and I've found it to be immensely beneficial for my well-being.

I successfully raised my CGPA from 1.46 to 3.00 during my second and third years of college.

Volunteer in High school events

  • During my time in high school, I devoted over 50 hours to volunteering in various capacities. This included preparing and delivering food to individuals in need, serving as a waiter during church services, collaborating with the dean to plan and maintain the school garden, and assisting in the organization and management of school events. These experiences not only allowed me to contribute to my community but also helped me develop valuable skills in organization, teamwork, and service.

Accomplishments

  • Drama certificate from high school.
  • In high school, I achieved second place in badminton.
  • I was honored to be on the "Principal's List" during high school.
