I have been part of the debate team since grade 9 and became an executive in grade 12. I learned debate from scratch and have improved significantly over time.

I co-founded this cultural association with my friend in grade 11, initially to help with the team organizing the school’s Lunar New Year Show. Our regular meetings consist of informative, interactive, and interesting content and activities related to East Asian culture. We had a large stand at our school's Spring Fling in May 2023, where we sold traditional food and crafts, and offered free hairstyling and face painting in traditional styles. For 2024, we fully took over the planning of the Lunar New Year Show and hosted an excellent event with more than 200 attendees, a delicious potluck, and various interactive activities, connecting the local East Asian community in celebrating the traditional holiday.
