About Me

Well I was born on February 10, 1995 in Oakland, CA where I grew up.My ethnicity is Cambodian and Chinese.

 
 

 I currently reside in San Leandro, CA and I am going to turn 20 in a few weeks.  I am the oldest of 5 siblings and I enjoy being the leader.  When I was young, I had a huge imagination.  I loved building things from legos such as spaceships and cars.  I was a regular kid who loved waking up on Saturdays to watch Spongebob and eat Pop Tarts.  When I was entering the 5th grade, I had a passion for playing basketball.  Ever since then I've played on teams up until High School.  I attended Skyline High School until the 10th grade.  During my Skyline days, I was struggling to balance school work with extra curricular activities.  I got into a fight there, and I regret doing some things I did when I attended there.  I have lost a couple of friends to gun violence in Oakland.  It was then my parents decided that a transferal of schools will help me stay away from violence and misbehavior.  So during 2011 I transferred to San Leandro High School.  This was my first time transferring schools and I had all sorts of thoughts running through my mind.  I thought it was going to be difficult because I had to start over and make new friends.  However it was the opposite, I made new friends and it was another beginning of a new chapter in my life.  During my junior year, I received my first job at Jamba Juice. I loved working there because I made a lot of friends and I got to experience dealing with all different types of people.  While working at Jamba, I would save money to help invest in a clothing business that my friend and I created during high school.  I came up with the name and he came up with the logo.  The name of the business was Dynamis, which stands for "power" in Greek.  We started to sell crewnecks and hoodies in 2012, and it was a success to see our fellow high school peers and friends wear our clothing.  We continued selling our clothing straight out of our car trunks and used the little money we had as working high school students.  That was one of the hugest accomplishments that I have experienced during my high school years.  When I graduated in 2013, I including 2 of my fellow business partners decided to part ways and put the company on hold.  It was difficult to transition into college while keeping the business running.  Just recently this year, we held a meeting between the group and we decided that we want to pick up where we left off.  However we are still not producing any clothing yet, but hopefully plan on doing so this year.  Currently I am in my 2nd year at Chabot, and I plan on transferring to a UC.  My goal this year is to improve my GPA and be able to support myself while my parents can support my younger siblings that are still in elementary and middle school.
