Seung Won Choi, HS
I draw and paint as someone who loves art —I always considered contests as a pathway to share my work. Especially this Bow Seat contest—I really wasn’t expecting anything. However, as I received the Distinguished Honorable Mention Award through this competition, I felt that I was starting to get accepted. It came to me as a source of motivation. I am grateful that I can share my works with others for them to enjoy.
Hong Chou, HS
Ella Chun, MS
Participating in Model UN Conferences helps me develop my speaking and writing skills and gives me the opportunity to make new friends. Representing different countries on issues I may not agree on helps me understand different perspectives. The Best Position Paper Award was meaningful to me because it means I was able to successfully identify issues and present solutions for the country I represented. I hope I am able to use that skill in all aspects of life.
Ronit Gupta, BS
Last August 2019, I attended two music competitions in Taiwan. In the first competition, the Taiwan International Classical Traditional Music Awards, I received first place. In the second competition, the Excellence International Music Open Competition, I also received first place. I chose to sing “Lascia ch’io pianga” by Handel because this was the song I felt most attached to. These experiences brought me closer towards my goal as a singer. 40
The BANNER | Student Voices
As a middle schooler, I have realized that we as young leaders can make a difference to our world. Since last year, I have invested my time into Global Social Leaders through worm farming, a transition website and Waste Warriors. Despite these trying times, I have been able to aid with completing the draft website for transitioning students.
