Who am I? I often find it hard to describe myself. It was never my strongest skill as I find it difficult to say what my current interests are at the time I am writing this blog post. I will try my best to tell you what I am like even though you probably have never met me (unless it was in a zoom call for class).

I think I have a chill personality as I am calm in most situations, for example, I am usually never in a hurry and I like to think ahead. This chill trait often falls in line with how I act and think because I am never the one to do something crazy that would bring attention to me. But, I usually get pulled into the escapades my friends get into, which helps me get out of my comfort zone. My personality would entail that I am boring, but in contrast, I am a goofy person at heart, I just only show that to people who I feel really close to.

What do I make? I think the most important thing that I was a part of to make was the robot for my high school’s robotics team. Our team was able to build a functioning robot in around 6 weeks even though this was our rookie year in the FIRST Robotics Competition 2019. This experience taught me a lot about interpersonal communication and working with a team in general. I am proud of myself for stepping up as the Vice President of the team and getting out of my comfort zone when my predecessor had to step down.

How do I make it? I love to spend my free time just taking it easy and relaxing by watching YouTube or movies on Hulu. When I do wanna go out, I love to explore and go on hikes with friends in San Francisco as there is a wide variety of trails.

Why do you make it? What I most value in my friends is honesty and sincerity. These things are hard to come by but I believe my current friend group fits this criterion. Together we create a sense of genuine love for each other and we do care about how each person is feeling.
