Despite my enrollment on Blinn TEAM, I took advantage of many opportunities that otherwise only those who are fully enrolled at Texas A&M would take. I am a member of the Corps of Cadets, a New Student Conference Orientation Leader, and a student worker on the Texas A&M campus. All of these experiences have exposed me to lessons, hardships, and joys that I do not regret going through for a single second.

Since I was fifteen I have always been drawn to answering important questions, engaging in meaningful discussions, and touching lives in intentional and personal ways. My favourite thing to do is disciple; engage in authentic conversations about life, relationships, and Jesus through a mixture of counseling, mentoring, and teaching. I have been intrigued by philosophy and theology since high school. Since then I did my undergraduate degree at Summit Pacific College, close to where I live so that I could help my family build our new house, while preparing to impact my world for Christ. At Summit, I earned a BA in Religion, with a major in Biblical Theology. In this major I took exegetical coursework, first year Hebrew and Greek, and was prepared for Graduate studies with a thesis course.

From a young age, my interest in the world around me was apparent in my love for history. I could never get bored of learning about the formation of the United States government or either of the World Wars. Unlike most children, my love for history was nourished each summer with travels to countries like Germany and Italy. I still remember running around at eleven years old with an informational headset in the Coliseum in Rome acting as a guide to my family. As an American with German and Italian roots, Europe has always held a special place in my heart. It was this love of history that led me to my interest in politics. In my junior year of high school I attended my first Model United Nations Conference at Hofstra University where I was thrown

Born and grew in a materialist country like mainland, China, where people cannot gain access to spiritual guidance easily, which makes the public simply to view religious groups as superstitious, and hateful entities. Throughout the years, I witnessed cases and cases of unfair intervene from the Communist Party of China to limit the free practice of religions, a burning desire has risen to be someone other than a spectator, but to understand a spiritual call to enrich the spiritual diversity of China, and free the minds of my people from the yoke. The robust presence of God vibrantly working in my life has led me to develop a further understanding of my call, and I would like to continue this journey to grow, and expand my horizon in spiritual

Peering into the computer screen, debugging the last line of my programming code, I silently rejoiced as my research efforts came to fruition. During the last two years, my research team had been working on developing a tumor staging system for squamous cell carcinoma, one of the most common forms of skin cancer in the U.S. The new staging system improved the ability of clinicians and researchers to identify patients at the greatest risk for disease progression. The project required collecting and analyzing vast amounts of treatment and outcome data from thousands of patients.

As a child I always had a voice to be heard around the house, whether it was singing along to my favorite Barney songs or bossing my younger brothers around, my home was consistently filled with conversations of humor and sincerity. Soon after the Barney years came to an end, I turned into a chatty pre-teen. Life was moving along conversation to conversation, until it stopped. At the age of twelve, I was rushed to the hospital for what seemed to be a simple headache, but turned out to be a brain abscess- which required two invasive brains surgeries. I was one of the lucky ones, who got to walk away from my condition with both my cognitive and speech functioning remaining intact, but this experience was pivotal for me to want to go into a field where individuals were not so lucky.

My intended major in Berkeley is Business Administration and it was the people in my life that developed my interest in business. I was born in Taiwan and lived most of life in Singapore.

I was raised in an environment where my parents — a physician and a molecular biologist — freely discussed scientific developments, moral questions and current events, encouraging me to have my own opinions. These discussions sparked my fascination for STEM subjects. In school, I have taken the most rigorous courses and have been involved in Science Olympiad since I was eleven, competing in events including Anatomy, Heredity, Disease Detectives, Protein Modeling, and Forensics. My parents supported me as I began to experience gender bias in STEM subjects and inspired me to do my best. This motivated me to become class president and principal flutist in the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra. While the environment I grew up in contributed to

I chose the University of Central Oklahoma because not only does it have one of the best Nursing programs, but campus, staff, and the students are exceptional! Also, the ratio of students to staff is reasonable, and the size of campus the attending students is just perfect. I also love that senior students and staff members are so eager to help incoming students find the right path and plan to success, and for those who want to get involved, like myself, there is an endless amount of clubs and student organizations that I could join. Another reason is that the university is located in an area where a variety of stores are easily accessible- and is a fair distance away

Growing up in Missouri I always had a sense of adventure, which is why I was drawn to the military right after high school. For the duration of my service I undertook a large number of responsibilities, I was a logistics coordinator, a fuel accountant, an instructor, I volunteered for every deployment I could, and I even did a stint on a special operations team that took me on the best adventure of my life. I had an overwhelming sense of accomplishment but never really considered myself a success. When I left the Air Force in 2015, after almost 15 years, I set out to earn the credentials necessary to become, in my own opinion, successful and I believe that a gigantic step forward is gaining acceptance to the University of South Florida, Kate Tiedemann College of Business Masters of Business Administration program.

I have always been passionate about math and physics, and in high school, I excelled in both. As I approached university, I was faced with a dilemma: should I pursue engineering or science? It was a single, seemingly trivial incident that led to a moment of clarity and solidified my decision: it started with fiddling with a pen in class. I took it apart, examining the mechanisms and playing around with all the little parts. As I sat there with a deconstructed pen strewed across my desk, something occurred to me: if a person uses a pen to write, he’s made for the arts; if a person throws it in the air and watches gravity pull it back, she’s made for science; and if someone takes a pen apart to see how it works - piecing together the relationship of the spring to the push mechanism, inspecting the efficiency of the inkwell – he’s made for engineering. I realized that I had always loved disassembling objects and, more often than not, putting them back together – fascinated with how things work and what I could do to make them work better. This led me to a degree in engineering, which has become my passion.
