Q: Tell us about a talent, experience, contribution, or personal quality you will bring to the University of California.
On one of my childhood trips to Vietnam, my parents took me to visit a small, isolated country village. I remember that one day, my mother had told me about the children there who could not go to school and how lucky I was to have the opportunity of getting an education available to me. Her words meant little to me as a child whose only concern was when her favorite cartoon was going to show, but as a young adult, my fortune means much more. Realizing this, I knew that I had to share my blessings with others.
Over the years, I have engaged in many community service activities. I have done everything from teaching to watching over children. However, the endeavor most important to me has been helping H.O.P.E (Helping Our People Emerge) raise money to establish schools in rural areas of Vietnam. My eagerness to help others has always been my strongest personal quality. I enjoy being a part of the world's changing toward the better, and I know that if admitted to your univerity, I would dramatically shape the mold of the campus with a friendly helping hand.
