About Xuan

Xuan has studied in SIFC since Grade 8 and was one of the excellent students in the first graduating class in Middle School that year. In the daily contact, Xuan is an optimistic, proactive, thoughtful and caring young man. He is also popular among his peers as he is humorous and always ready to help others whenever they are in need.

 

Xuan impresses others with his active involvement in making his community a better place. Understanding the importance of family relationships, he initiated a teenage forum where he shared stories, articles and comments to facilitate the parent-child relationship. With the achievement of successfully impacting more than fifty families, he was invited to an audio show about parent-child relationships with his own parents, where he was also able to influence other families. Moreover, Xuan has been regularly helping autistic children with their educational enrichment for over two years.

 

Xuan also made the most of his time during vacations to fully develop himself. In Grade 9, he went to Columbia University to study psychology courses. In Grade 10, he enrolled in Harvard University's summer chemistry course. While in Grade 11, he participated in CIS research on Japanese society and he wrote a ten-page paper about that subject. In these activities, his high academic ability and the advantage of strong English proficiency were fully demonstrated.

 

It is also worth mentioning that Xuan is the leader of the school drama club and has already directed and acted in several plays which were shown on school eventdays. He is also the bass of the school ACapella team where he displays his singing skills and participates in all kinds of performances.

 

In all, SIFC has witnessed Xuan's great progress in the past few years and we believe that he could seek more opportunities and platforms to develop and promote himselfat University of Chicago.
