    TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) MOA Scholarship
    1. I found TXT my Freshman/Sophomore in college through my now bestie 2. I think the most important characteristic of MOA is how understanding we are of each other and TXT. It doesn’t matter who you are- we love each other!! 3. My bias is Huening Kai!!! He is the reason I started stanning. I was VERY skeptical of kpop in general, but my sister showed me a video of Huening Kai laughing, and the rest is history. His laugh always makes me smile ☺️ I’m gonna get emotional ❤️🥺 4. Ult bias- also Huening Kai!!!! I just love him hehe 5. This one is hard, but my favorite would have to be Maze in the Mirror because: one, It sounds so beautiful and two, I really love how deep the meaning of the song is, and how it represents how we are constantly searching to find out who we are 6. Yes!! It was last year. One of my Moa besties messaged me a few days before the concert that she had extra tickets, so we went together! I almost cried three times— and I’m one who tries to avoid concerts since they are overwhelming 7. My favorite album concept…. To be honest, my favorite concept has to be the Star Chapter, it came out at a time where I was really struggling with feeling alone and scared, (especially since I was struggling with school at the time 😬) but seeing the concept of the album, and how even when we are separated in our adulthood, the stars remember our youth was very comforting to me. 8. I am currently paying for school through scholarships. 9. This scholarship will help me pay for meals, and potentially pursue further education into my masters, since my current scholarships only count toward my undergrad 10. There are many different ways I could answer this. Through the MOA community and TXT in general, I have gained many new and diverse friends. The community and culture has only reinforced my opinions that people should never be judged for the way they look or where they are from. TXTs themes of youth and growing up have also helped me to process my own experiences of becoming an adult in such a chaotic and technologically driven era. Finally, txt has helped me to realize that it is okay to have hobbies and that is important to express yourself honestly to the world around you. 11. I am in computer science. As the world grows further and further into such a technological society, I have found that understanding what is going on “behind the curtain” has given me the ability not to freeze and freak out over everything that the “big tech” companies throw at people. I plan to use my education to help educate people (whether just my friends or even more people) on what actually happens on computers so that they can’t be fear-mongered into doing or acting in a certain way for the companies that don’t have their best interests in mind. I also have a passion for cybersecurity, so I plan to design, create, and innovate ways to ensure that online experiences are as secure as possible and keep people’s activity private. Finally, if I am able, I would love to pursue Law as well and help influence new laws and literature pertaining to either tech or immigration.
