I am a third generation Filipino Korean American, and have lived in Maple Valley Washington for the past 14 years of my life after moving from Seattle Washington where I lived for my first 4 years. I went to Tahoma Senior High school where my graduating class was near 750 students. However the year I graduated was the year the new high school was finished, it’s the biggest one in the state. Also for my junior and senior year I participated in my school’s running start program (or dual credit program for out of state people) at Green River College to take easier course loads, have more down time, and to of course save money and get some easy free college credit. During my time through high school school was relatively easy and manageable, but here at the University of Washington it’s a new kind of impossible.

I am very passionate about taking naps and eating food, usually consecutively  but then again life is always about adapting so not always in that order. I love all asian foods, probably cause I am asian and probably cause it’s amazing.

Continuing with the Asian theme I love and admire Pandas, they are my spirit animal. I know there are other endangered animals that we could be putting money into saving that are I guess more beneficial to the ecosystem and society, but  Pandas are Pandas and it would be inhuman to essentially kill such magnificent gentle balls of yin-yang fluff.
