Hello! I’m Cryschan Kwak, a motivated high school student passionate about leadership, community service, and sharing the gospel. Inspired by my father, a pastor, I aim to serve others in similar ways. I also have a strong interest in mechanical engineering and aspire to study at Caltech, where I hope to design solutions that merge my technical skills with my commitment to service. I’ve developed leadership through the National Junior Honor Society and strengthened my commitment to service by organizing food drives and writing to foster children. These experiences taught me collaboration and allowed me to live out the gospel through action. Serving in my church is central to my life. As a guitarist and praise leader, I lead worship on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I also lead worship for kids’ Bible study, using music to help younger students engage with and understand faith. This has helped me grow in leadership, patience, and encouragement. Additionally, I am an umpire trained through Umps Care, where I learned discipline, confidence, and decision-making. Scholarships would support my goal of studying mechanical engineering at Caltech while continuing to serve my church and community.
