About

13 years ago, the Projectory of my life changed almost instantly. As an orphan in China, it was unlikely for me to have a promising future. I was adopted at 5 years old, and now I live with a family who loves and cares deeply about me. I realize early in life that not everyone is as blessed to have the same opportunity as me and looking at life from this perspective has encouraged me to discipline and dedicate myself to reach my full potential by pursuing education with enthusiasm.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I want to become an Architect.
I am looking forward to designing a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere intended to make people feel connected with their surrounding and other people. I have been enthusiastic and creative since I was 5 years old however, I was unsure how to utilized my skills until two years ago after reading the autobiography of George Muller, an english gentlemen who devoted his life to care for orphans during the nineteenth century. preparing to expand his ministry, Muller planed to build an orphanage called Ashley Downs in Bristol, England. With minimum funding available, Mr. John Foster an architect offered his services to design the orphanage free of charge. I am delighted to pursue architecture, fulfilling my passion and creativity to specialize in a field that brings beauty and inspiration to other peoples enjoyment.

Graduate school interests

I am not certain that attending Grad school is necessary to reach my career goals however, I would consider earning a masters degree to meet the requirements to become a professor and teach aspiring architects the necessary skills to make their dreams a reality.

Outside the classroom

I find great delight in drawing architecture buildings that enhance my skills. I also enjoy Drinking tea while reading a book and Walking outside in nature while listening to music.
