Ever since I was ten years old, I have always known that I wanted to be a scientist. Knowledge and learning have been a part of my life as I enjoy helping others to realize the joy and self-confidence that comes with them. Recently, I was lucky enough to attend the University of Washington and earned two Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Astronomy with honors. Being the first person in my family to attend college as well as having family members in K-12, I feel that it is my responsibility to teach and motivate them to try hard in school so that they can follow their dreams and desires. This is a responsibility that I feel towards everyone, not just my family. Other than learning, I enjoy most forms of physical activity, music, and watching movies. I regularly lift weights, run, bike ride, as well as play music on my guitar. Even though all of these different things keep me busy,I still plan on going further in my education. It is my belief that you should never stop learning because there are so many great and wonderful things in this world and in learning about them you can learn a little more about yourself.
