Currently, I attend Abraham Lincoln High School as a senior. Although this year will prove challenging, I enjoy all 5 of my AP classes and find myself alive and well. Other than AP classes, I am also enrolled in the Academy of Biotechnology. I'm also involved in several extracurricular activities: SMARTteam (Students Modeling A Research Topic), CSF (California Scholarship Foundation) co-president [secretary last year], Key Club secretary (3 years), Lincs (an in-school service society) VP, Journalism freelance editor/columnist, Fencing Club (co-captains have yet to be announced!), AP Club, Nova (a new science club founded this year), Japanese Culture Club, and will be joining the Mock Trial Club. After school, I like to volunteer at an elementary school where I have a class of about 20 rambunctious, jumpy 4th graders.

UCSF has been absolutely amazing with the most, for lack of a better word, AWESOME people ever.

Outside of my school life, you can usually find me cozy with a book, listening to Architecture in Helsinki (or whatever else is on my play list), writing an autobiography about my own pure awesomeness (just kidding; though I do enjoy writing as a hobby or as a method of procrastination, as I am doing now) or taking pictures of the obscure details that I am fascinated with at the moment. I enjoy having fun and exploring the world. Why sit on the sidelines and whimper about "pain" or "hardship" when you could dive headfirst and work your way through? That's why my friends and I oftentimes find ourselves lost in the middle of a long hike (no worries, there's always something knowledgeable in maps) or venturing into a possible painful activity (we've tackled paintball - airsoft's next on our list). Life isn't about "what-ifs," it's about now.

I suppose this has been enough time spent procrastinating; alas, AP Bio calls.

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 (who are a pure joy), 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.
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.
