My Story:

I was born in a refuge camp in Thailand, thus my siblings and I often joke that my parents found me floating in the Mekong as a baby. Growing up in a small town of Stevens Point racial discrimination became a friend of mine as well as multicultural diversity. I'm the first in my family to attend college and step outside to a world I did not know.

"There's no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone."

My Ideal School is a Place Where:

I can learn how to better my gaming skills, and if you think this is useless I argue with you that it is not. Because of gaming I and many others have helped many, including myself, stray away from drugs, alcohol, and gangs. It has helped me develop my sense of freedom, yet it helps me connect to others on a level where we may communicate and understand each other.

My Religious Views:

I...chase squirrels around.

My Political Views:

The tides in this option change so much I don't know what to call it.

My Favorite Freedom:

Being able to walk outside and say "hello" to my neighbor.

My Personal Heroes:

My best friend, Dang Vue. Together we made a promise of change.

My Personal Motto:

Yeah, well if that's your say of what culture is then one day I will change it along with what you think.

My Favorite Journey:

A Journey West, my journey west.
