<p>being a tri-varsity athlete would make you stand out or maybe publishing research.</p>

<p>ORIGAMI</p>

<p>I love it so much</p>

<p>and yes, there is way more depth in origami than you may think.</p>

<p>I also have an origami related job, and started a club, and teach it… And most likely some of my works will go on exhibition.</p>
