Volunteer

Galileo High School

Class of 2025

If you became invisible for 10 minutes RIGHT NOW, what things would you do?

If I became invisible for 10 minutes, I’d steal my English teacher’s homework and give me all 100s because he doesn’t give anyone in that class a 100😭😭

If you have the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be? Why?

I would change racism. Racism isn’t very good.

What would be your ideal way to spend the weekend?

My ideal way to spend the weekend is to sleep and eat Cup Noodles.

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why?

I would eat Cup Noodles because they’re easy to make and taste good, despite the risk of cancer.

What is the most valuable lesson you have learned in your life?

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that you should cherish the time spent with your friends and family.

If all jobs had the same pay and hours, what job would you like to have?

I’d sleep all day.

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

Yingyi and Yinglin scare me into waking up for the Charity Runs.

Which event did you most look forward to? Did it live up to expectations?

I looked most forward to the Stanford event because we got to go on a bus AND visit Stanford. It was a little boring, but it was still the best event so far.

How has your experience been working with HIM?

I have a love hate relationship with HIM. I hate waking up but the community is really nice and you make a lot of new friends.

How has HIM affected your life so far?

HIM has helped me connect with a lot of friends and has made me much more optimistic about volunteering. If I had never become friends with the people I met in HIM, I don’t know what I’d be doing, but I know life would be much worse. Shoutout to Yingyi, Yinglin, Wenyu, Fannie, Yvonne, Cindy, Tony, Emery, Adrian, Dom, and Kathy. They’re the Gs FR.
