My journey has been one of resilience and ambition. I was born in China and immigrated to the United States in 2013 as a refugee with my mom and sister. We settled in Eagle, Idaho. Starting out, I didn\u2019t have any friends and didn\u2019t speak a word of English, but over time, I have almost mastered English, Mandarin, and Spanish\u2014proof of my adaptability and determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to school, I like to joke that I\u2019m an \u201cunder-achiever\u201d with my barely adequate 3.97 GPA. I\u2019ve always pushed myself academically while balancing a commitment to fitness. I spend four days a week weight training and three days practicing jiu-jitsu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My entrepreneurial spirit showed up early. What started as a friendly challenge to help classmates with homework turned into a thriving little side hustle. Looking ahead, I plan to join the U.S. Army and further my education in the medical field. My ultimate goal is to retire wealthy and successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My motto is simple: \u201cLearn, work, learn, work more.\u201d<\/strong> It\u2019s the mindset that drives everything I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My journey has been one of resilience and ambition.
