I have lived in Spokane, WA my whole life, with my dad, mom and two dogs. I was adopted at 10 months olds from China, from the town of Meilu, Guangdong Province. I have an older brother and sister, and both of them have families of their own. Some of the out-of-school activities I enjoy are reading, drawing, taking photos, and being outside. I am a Christian, and is always striving to live for Christ and to spread love and kindness to others, just like Christ does for me.
What has encouraged me to become a counselor or speech pathologist was having the chance to go on a mission trip to Costa Rica two years in a row. After hanging out and getting to know the kids in Costa Rica, learning about the struggles they face in their living situations was heartbreaking. All of the children loved on us and gave us hugs, and knowing that they are so happy, even with the bad backgrounds they come from, absolutely astounds me. I want to help people going through hard times and encourage them to live strong and confidently, and that I will always be there if they need anyone to talk to. |
