Ever since I was a child I've had a passionate interest in American history. I remember sitting in fifth grade history class learning about the American Revolution and being fascinated with the application of eighteenth-century history to today's world. Since then, I've dedicated myself to the discipline of history and how it has contributed to the systems and societies we are a part of in the present. As I've moved along in my educational career, I've learned even more history about my own Asian American community and how it has contributed to the disheartening events of the present. Because of this, I was moved to join the Asian American Student Union at my school. AASU is the political umbrella organization that acts as an advocate for Asian American students. We work to make the campus and the community a welcoming space. Throughout my career, I have also tried pursuing roles specific to historical scholarship. Therefore, I began my internship with the New York State Museum. Here, I create promotional material, edit interview videos, post on social medias, and meet regularly with the team to plan projects. I am absolutely thrilled to have these opportunities, and in the future I wish to use my experience to make myself an outstanding professor at a university one day. I have a burning passion for history and educating people in history. History is the study of continuity and change overtime, meaning it is absolutely vital for younger generations to be aware of it. I would love to contribute to the future generation's understanding of history and build a better world.
