Some of the outstanding qualities and characteristics that I have are: humble, warm-hearted, friendly, easy going, hard worker, open-minded, trustworthy, etc. I would say that I am very humble because my parents taught me that everyone is talented somehow in their own ways, but for me my talent would be that I am athletic enough

My interest in studying abroad stems from my unique experiences as a Taiwanese American growing up in Texas with practically all of my relatives living thousands of miles away from me. Starting from my first summer, and almost every summer after, I flew 15+ hours to see my relatives. I had the opportunity to experience night markets, new scenic views, and a completely different culture. With each visit, my love of traveling grew.
