Spring '22 Intern

Urban School of San Francisco

Class of 2025

What website do you visit most often?

Google, because when I need to find something I just go there and I have my answer.

Who inspires you to be the person you are today?

I am inspired by my parents sacrifice to make sure that I can be the best that I can, so by taking that into account I try my best in everything I do.

Where would you spend all your time if you could?

Traveling makes me feel like I’m out of space and in a different world. All the possibilities you can travel to make you feel like it’s limitless.

Beside necessities, what is the one thing you cannot live one day without?

I couldn’t live with my family even with food and water. My close bond with them allows me to have a cushion when falling.

If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make?

Clean up after yourself. That would change so many worldly problems, lower the rate of global warming (because then there would be no need to burn trash etc.), make everything cleaner and sanitary, etc.

What motivates you to wake up early to volunteer for a Charity Run?

Meeting new people and helping them there at the run inspires me to get up.

How has HIM affected your life so far?

My life has been improved as a result of Heart in Motion. I would have no idea what to do in circumstances before joining HIM, but now that I'm in groups, I take initiative and try to help everyone as much as possible. HIM has also taught me to dig deeper. So now I look in life deeper, and the more you learn, the more you know.

What do you think of HIM Internship Program?

It was great and very fun learning about how HIM works.

If life is a game, like some people say, what are some of the rules?

Stay alive as long as you can.
