I spent four enriching years (fifth grade - eighth grade) at AIDI school, where I not only focused on academics but also built personal interests and skills. I had the unique opportunity to study abroad at different countries, which broadened my horizons and gave me a global perspective. During my time at AIDI, I explored the world of Peking Opera, learning and performing this traditional art form. One of my proudest moments was performing at a national theater to raise money for a charitable cause, combining my passion for performance with giving back to the community.
My time at ISB was transformative, marked by both challenges and growth. Moving to a new country and adapting to a completely different language environment during the COVID-19 pandemic was initially daunting, but it pushed me to become more resilient and resourceful. I developed my personal interests further, joining various activities both inside and outside of school, including being part of different school teams and becoming a member of IASAS. I also took on leadership roles, leading the art club and serving on school councils, where I was able to contribute and help guide initiatives. Additionally, I dedicated time to service work, assisting local students and giving back to the community, which was deeply rewarding and helped me develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.
As I embark on the next four years at Northeastern University, I am excited to immerse myself in the dynamic intersection of computer science and design. I look forward to gaining a deeper understanding of both fields, expanding my technical skills, and honing my design abilities to create innovative solutions that blend functionality with creativity. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals, engage in hands-on experiences through co-ops, and participate in design and tech-related projects that challenge my thinking and push me to grow. Above all, I'm excited to take full advantage of the opportunities to contribute to the university community and further develop as both a leader and a creator.
