Week 2 - My Life Story
The first majorly pivotal moment in my life was when I got accepted into the GT Academy at Quail Valley Middle School because it altered what kind of school environment I would be in along with what kind of relationships I would form along the way. The funny thing is I was crying the same day this event happened because I placed 2nd at a dance competition but the news of being able to go to QV some how made me feel accomplished again... academic validation
The next pivotal moment of my life was probably when I went back to China in the summer of 2019 because that led to me become more in tune with my culture and also started my love for cdramas. This time period also led to my time at a summer camp called CYC which allowed me to become friends with so many people I didn't know before and experience what it is like to live in a door room while surviving without my parents.
Another memorable time period in my life was solely sophomore year because I accomplished so many things like winning state, national and international awards for orchestra and dance. It was also my first time experiencing what being an officer of a club or an organization was like.

This leads into my next pivotal moment which is when I was elected as Dulles Orchestra's President. This mostly happened by chance due to a string of lucky events however I was so proud to receive such a position and it made me even more motivated to become a better leader overall.
Lastly, my most recent memorable moment was our orchestra's Disney trip! The experience was absolutely amazing and I had such a blast the entire time. I feel like I matured a lot on that trip while having the time of my life traveling, exploring, and having the freedom I've always longed for which was great!
