The Caltech honor code has also been a positive influence in my everyday life, and I hope to emphasize...

I was selected as a member of the World Youth Science Engineering Program on grounds of excellency for Mathematics and English.

...English. Many were apprehensive and even against learning the language due to their lack of knowledge and interest. Through repetition and support, I was able to see the pride, accomplishment, and joy in students' faces when they were able to learn and recognize things that even they themselves may not have thought possible, and that is a great feeling. I hope to foster that same sort of feeling while I tutor. I've also been on...
