I am an energetic, optimistic, and hardworking science student who believes that hard work pays off. I also engage in debating and community work, using different roles during my high school years in both Vietnam and New Zealand. Being an international student who studies high school in two different countries, with different educational cultures, gives me an opportunity to demonstrate leadership and teamwork skills in diverse environments, and develop my compassionate, communication, and problem-solving skills. As I was influenced by the past of my beloved one passing away due to cancer, I felt the passion and desire to solve life-risking health problems.
