Allow me have two minutes of your time to introduce myself.
My name's Tiffany Siok-Yu Saw; my middle name is pronounced SOOK-YEE and I have no idea why it isn't spelled like that. I am currently still a high school senior at Abraham Lincoln High School, trying to figure out all the nuances of college applications and whatnot. I'm very much active both in school and out with 9 extra-curricular activities at school and several volunteering jobs including tutoring 4th graders ("my kids" as I sometimes call them), senior homes, and the like.
When I'm not doing something I can put on a college application, you can usually find me reading while my music is blasting away. Okay, well, maybe not blasting. I have very sensitive ears, BUT I still love music. Current favorites include Architecture in Helsinki and Jason Mraz. If I have enough time, I'm probably in the kitchen baking - it's one of my favorite pastimes.
I absolute love everything that's happened subsequent to my exposure to the biotechnology program at my school. My teachers, Ms Reis (who absolutely inspired me to take second year) and Mr C (who is a teacher unlike any other), inspired me to go leaps and bounds and nourished my love for biology. UCSF has been absolutely amazing with the most, for lack of a better word, AWESOME people ever. There wasn't a morning where I couldn't get up because I would bounce out of bed with excitement, anxious to get to my "mini-preps in the morning." Mini-preps were always the highlight about my day; call me strange, but something is wonderfully whimsical about mini-preps.
Lastly, I'd like to thank you all for reading this blurb about myself and I'd also like to thank some inspirational and supportive people: my mother&father, Mr C, Mrs Reis, Wendell, Xili, Raquel, Nili, Angi, Jacinto, and everyone else on the team for being so (I will say it again) AWESOME.
What can I say? This is us.
