Class of 2021

If you could live in only one city for the rest of your life, where would you live and why?

Honestly, I would stay in San Francisco because it's where I grew up and lived all my life. Traveling is fun but SF is home.

Who inspires you to be the person you are today?

I inspired myself to go to lowell and work hard in school because I know it will pay off in the future.

List the three things you would bring with you onto a deserted island and why.

I would bring a first aid kit, a radio, and necessities so I can send for help and fix any injuries.

What is the one things people misunderstand about you?

People think I'm completely focused and dedicated to academics but I also like swimming, baking, and other random hobbies.

What are some big challenges that you have overcome? How did you overcome these challenges?

A challenge I had to overcome was communicating to others. I was really self-conscious but I overcame that by forcing myself to make new friends and talking to people.

Besides necessities, what is the one thing you cannot like one day without?

I cannot live one day without talking to my friends. They support and help me get through stress.

What is you favorite movie of all time?

My favorite movie of all time would be White Chicks. It's really funny and makes me laugh every time.

Where do you see yourself in the future? Jobs? Dreams?

I see myself doing something related to medicine or possibly food in the future. My dream is to become a food critic but med school is more practical.

How has HIM affected your life so far?

HIM has helped me get a taste of what it takes to be in an organization and have more responsibilities. I'm so glad to have this experience and I'm certain it will change me as a person.
