Personal Statement
661 Words
Story central to identity, Role model/inspiration
Who am I? I am curious. Innovative. Self-motivated. And yes, nerdy. Each of these elements flows in my blood, head to toe. I can’t deny them nor am I ashamed by them.

However, there is one thing that I prize the most. That’s God because without Him, I would not be the person I am today. Every day that I wake up, I'm thankful for the ability to experience life.
