My position in student government has transformed me into a skilled problem solver, negotiator, and critical thinker, always willing to help others. I translated these skills as a member of the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) program where I taught Chinese to students who wanted to learn the language. Moved by students' enthusiasm to learn the Chinese language, I spearheaded my program, The Language Corner, to teach students not only how to speak Chinese, but also to provide them with an understanding of China's history, society, and rich culture. Through teaching, I realized that I have a unique perspective to offer and that I shouldn't put myself in the immigrant box as if I have nothing to offer. My experiences have pushed me to be proactive in my engagement with others, consistent in my studies, and committed to achieving the success that my parents worked so hard for me to achieve..
