<p>Hooks: First generation immigrant (English is my second, technically third, language), diver (NOT scuba, springboard), <strong>research in a nanotech lab this summer</strong></p>
<p>Also, I'm attaching a diving video to apps because I want to dive in college, though it really depends on how good the school is at sports...I ideally want a D3 school.</p>
