Yes, that is indeed me smiling at you through this flashing screen. What you see is a compassionate person with a knack for science (engineering in particular), an aptitude to take charge, a bundle of tenacity, a machine programmed to work hard for anything that I set my mind to, and just a sprinkle of humor.

In my free time, you can find me training on the tennis courts, volunteering, playing the saxophone, organizing events, or most likely stressing about my college applications. In regards to the latter, that purple button you see is a link to my team's fundraising page for building a new school in Haiti, which is just one of the many community activities I indulge myself in.

Peeling back the layers of my metaphorical self, you'll find that my motivation for whatever I do stems from my loving but rigorous parents, the inspiration I get from my workaholic brother, and my own belief that I am always capable of achieving more.

So go ahead, commit this picture to memory. Remember this face when I reach out to be your friend. Or you know, when I take over the world.
