Quick! What are the first three words you think of when I ask you to describe yourself?
Respectful, positive, adventurous
What’s your favorite thing to do in Berkeley?
I love to explore and I’m very curious. Therefore, I like to see new places that I have never been to, which also helps me in finding the best food around campus.
What’s something not many people know about you?
I may seem shy and I am quiet at first, but once you get to know me, you will realize that it’s hard to shut me up.
If you could choose a place to teleport to right now, where would it be?
I would love to be skydiving in Dubai.
Who’s your celebrity crush?
It would have to be Jennifer Aniston, because she will forever be hot.
Name something you can’t live without.
I will have to sadly say, my phone. I always find myself checking for it, and when I don’t have it in my pocket, I panic. My phone is like the door to everything. It opens up the world much more whether it be through viewing maps, playing games, or downloading music.
What’s your biggest pet-peeve?
I hate when people don’t respect others. For example when people are nice, and are helpful, yet other people seek to just take advantage of that quality. People who are nice are the ones who usually get stepped on, because they are the ones who don’t want violence, but that hate gets trapped and really does harm them.
When was your proudest moment?
I must admit that the proudest moment in my life was when I got accepted to Berkeley. I say it not only because I was proud of myself, but also because of my parents. They are immigrants who came here with nothing. They might have not had an education, but they worked very hard to get me where I am. So today I am proud of my parents because of their hard work, and their life risks were not for granted. I never saw myself in Berkeley. I saw myself succeeding but not this far, so to be here, it is a great accomplishment.
What’s something you’d like to accomplish?
My goal is to get my masters degree at Columbia University in New York City.
Describe your perfect match.
My perfect match would have to be someone that is extremely outgoing. She would have to be fun, smart, talkative, and ready to travel. She would have to be caring and be enthusiastic about her goals.
