Undergraduate / UW Short Response. How would you contribute to this community? [3]

I was born in Viet Nam, but soon I left Viet Nam to start High school here in the US at the age of 16. Surrounding myself in a multicultural society in my early years gives me different perspectives about different cultures, as well as the ability to understand them thoroughly, and it also teaches me to have mutual respect towards other races. And having that attitude on campus is necessary.

I used to be very shy, which has taken away many chances of mine, I know how that hurts, so hopefully that I could do something to encourage students like me two years ago, to enrich and enjoy their new journey at University of Washington, to encounter new challenges fearlessly.

I come from a very different part of the world, so I am excitedly looking forward to sharing my culture heritages, such as how we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival or how we use chopsticks for daily meals.

Wrapping this up, with my background and viewpoints that I've received through my years, I believe that I would do a good job in enriching the diversity of culture as well as contributing and improving the community.

Please give me a few feedbacks, thank you guys so much !
