🌱 Roots & Family #
I was born on July 31, 2006 in Hong Kong. I’m the eldest of three: a sister born in 2008 and a brother born in 2011. 👦👧👦
My father leads in a Buddhist Association 🧘♂️, and my mother was a lawyer ⚖️ who found her own law office.
My earliest moral compass came from my grand-uncle—affectionately “Grandpa Buddha.” 🙏
He devoted his life to sharing compassion through education and media, showing me that kindness can scale when paired with technology and discipline. His calm presence taught me to look for solutions that help people, not just impress them. 💡💻
🎒 Early Education #
- Kindergarten: I started in Shenzhen and then transferred to Hong Kong, spending four years there. 🧸
- Primary School: Attended the Hong Kong Alliance Primary School (public) through Grade 5. 🏫
- Grade 5–6: Transferred to BASIS International School Park Lane Harbor. 🌏
I planned to attend middle school in the U.S. to pursue my hockey dream, and I even visited schools in person. 🏒
Then COVID-19 arrived. and I had been transferred between 3 schools within 3 years. 🔄
🏫 Finding My Path at Wyoming Seminary #
Sem became the place where I rebuilt from the ground up. Through consistent effort and self-direction, I learned to be independent, organized, and resilient. 💪
Along the way, I grew into roles that I once thought were out of reach:
- Student Government President 🗳️
- Club leadership in engineering and international communities 🤝
- Varsity athletics across hockey, golf, and tennis 🏒⛳🎾
- Campus service and student-led initiatives 🌟
Sem changed me more than I expected. I’m grateful for the trust the school placed in me and I see it as a gift I must grow and pass on. 🎁
💭 What This Journey Means to Me #
Frequent moves taught me to adapt, listen, and lead without losing empathy. The pandemic taught me to start over—sometimes more than once. 🔁
My family and “Grandpa Buddha” taught me that compassion is not passive; it is a daily practice that should inform how we design systems, study, compete, and collaborate. ❤️
I carry that forward now: to build with kindness, to serve my community, and to turn opportunity into shared progress. 🚀
