| Coming to the United States from China in 1992, Ben Wang incorporates
his native culture into his current perspectives; exploring
the principles of life by studying many philosophers ranging
from Plato to Confucius. Through Quest, Ben gained great appreciation
for reflection, openness and positive attitudes. These qualities
combined with his sensibility make him a trustworthy friend.
He often takes time out of his busy schedule to meditate on
the challenges in life such as school, relationships and self-improvement.
In his Quest outreach project to raise cultural awareness, Ben
learned what it means to be a leader and the joy of working
with children. A rising sophomore at Stanford, He is interested
in biomedicine and will start working in a research lab in the
coming fall. Outside of school he has a budding interest in
photography, seeing it as a way to visually understand his surroundings.
He also enjoys running, swimming, deep conversations, and listening
to inspirational music. Ben hopes to return one day to China
and use his knowledge and skills to improve the lives of the
Chinese people. |
