My Story

His most cherished memory growing up was spending time with his beloved Rubik’s Cube. Upon discovering the vibrant puzzle, Neo was immediately hooked, igniting his interest in problem-solving. He taught himself to solve it, honing his skills through practice, despite the constant obstacles and setbacks. Soon, he shared his knowledge with classmates, organizing friendly competitions that brought them together. This experience not only deepened his love for the cube but also created lasting friendships in school.

Neo goes to an international school in Hong Kong, and is a dynamic and accomplished student who excels in both academics and extracurricular activities. As a leader in his school’s Jazz Band, he combines his passion for music with strong organizational skills. His talent through piano is also demonstrated by completing the ARSM diploma program with distinction. His interests in business, and STEM subjects have led him to success in multiple international competitions, and he wishes to pursue these fields in the future.

Neo wishes to study STEM or business majors in the future. Recognizing the intersection of STEM and business, Neo sees the potential to blend skills from both areas, such as in data analytics and technology management.
