Who (or what) inspires you and why?: A lot
of inspiration actually comes from fellow Circle
K members. I know we all get burnt out with
school, work, and life but I am always shocked at
how much spirit I see around me whenever I do
anything with Circle K. It is definitely infectious
and keeps my passion for service alive! :D
Major: Business Entrepreneurship and Engineering Computer Science
Favorite Color: Bright Forest Green
Who (or what) inspires you and why?:
Derek Furukawa, because he’s busier than
me, but still manages to be successful. He
proves to me that a full-time career and Kiwanis involvement can be balanced. While
still being true to the ideals of being a good
person.

Who (or what) inspires you and why?: Since 8th
grade, I’ve been a huge fan of Taiwanese idol Rainie
Yang. She began as a hard-working singer, actress,
and hostess who was known to be the princess of
cute in Taiwan. Over time, she was able to break
away from the belittling stereotypes of “cute” and
establish her own strong and distinct presence.
There was a quote she lived by during her earlier
years, which was, “If you work hard, it doesn’t mean
you’ll succeed. But if you don’t work hard, you definitely will not succeed.” What was inspiring was that
she didn’t just sit around and mope, she took action.
That’s the kind of motivation that keeps me going.
