The classroom thrummed with energy and anticipation. It seemed

counterintuitive, what could elevate Thomas Hobbes to the exciting?
But in the history classroom, somehow the energy of my history
teacher’s animated face lit the room and caused minds to ponder new
depths.

We had split into little groups of three and four, and I was seated with
people I had spoken probably two words to outside of class. But, such
is the power of conversation, we all poured out our ideas. It was that
collaborative sense of hearing different perspectives and piecing
together fragments to create the mosaic of history.

It is that height of academic conversation that excites me to learn.

Learning transcends all backgrounds, having elements that go
beyond subjective experience. At the same time, it unites different
perspectives, because the more perspectives there are the more
complete of any idea we find of the truth. I went from a little
frightened at the prospect of shedding the comfort of my friend
group to growing exuberance as I heard ideas I would never have
thought of about Hobbes according to different people’s interest.
People who naturally think about context took a structuralist
approach, one economically inclined person saw the reading
through a Marxist lens, another a feminist critique — far more than
would ever have been thought up by one individual.

This little history discussion about a seemingly dense and objective

text brought the life to learning for me by showing me the power of
perspectives and conversation.

Most Esteemed Future Roommate,

If you walk in at 2:00AM to find me lying on the floor listening to

depressing music by Vysotsky and clutching a volume by Homer or
Dostoevsky like a teddy bear, please do not be alarmed. As an only
child, I have never had to share my room except with a parent, and so
the transition might be a little rocky (although I by all means invite you
to my carpeted book and anguish club). Further, books have always
brought me comfort, whether to escape from loneliness or the crowd
(usually the latter, I’m rather introverted), and I alternate between daring
to socialize and retreating upon a few beloved volumes to which I give
equal or greater affection than people. In that line — I desire to know all
of your favorite books — or the ones you detest — in order to know you
better! Whenever I meet people, I think of what their story would be like,
what author’s voice it might be written in, what the title would be.
Needless to say, hit me up if you every want to borrow a book. Or a pen.

Yours bookishly,
Chaidie

The novel Phantastes by George Macdonald was my childhood favorite

book and crops up again in my mind with new meaning every passing
year. As a child, my mum read it to me, and I loved it so much that it was
one of the first full books I read on my own. Its meaning to me then was in
the story; I admired the artful crafting of characters, artistic faerie lands
and realistic houses which mingled reality, metaphor, and the grotesque
with beautiful language. It played a large role in my early attempts at
writing fantasy fiction and short stories. In middle school I reread it again,
and found new meaning in the complexities of the characters and the
changes in mindset and belief that Anodos, the main character,
experienced throughout his trials.

Several years later, after having developed an interest in Classics and

having studied my own Greek heritage more in depth, I loved
Macdonald’s incorporation of aspects of the Classical Greek world,
from allusions to mythology and philosophy in the descriptions and
characters to the Greek etymology of many of the character names
(Anodos meaning ‘to progress upward’). Still an enthusiast for Classics
and an aspiring writer, my current self still finds meaning in this
childhood favorite. I revel in Macdonald’s brilliant use of language and
mobilization of the metaphors of all time; it is his application of the
Classics that inspire me to pursue that subject along with others to
enrich my own writing and communication.

1. I’d split my hour two ways, investing time in my own wellbeing and
in others. Half I’d spend baking treats for friends, which would
double as a personal gift, since I find baking—like running—
relaxing and restorative. The second half I’d spend answering
Quora questions—something I’ve been meaning to pay forward.

2. At eight, I dreamed of becoming a YouTuber, documenting life in

rectangular video. Each year, this dream drew further from reach.
With extra time, I’d retrieve what time stole. Creating comedic skits
or simply talking about my day, I’d pursue what I value most—
making others laugh and capturing beautiful moments.

3. One extra hour is thirty minutes extra of daylight.

The US has 28 GW of installed solar capacity. With the extra
daylight, there will be a 4% increase in national capacity, an
entire GW added. This small increase alone powers 700,000
homes. I’m spending the time investing in photovoltaics!

“Indefinita eres.” Latin for “you are limitless.” I believe that we are all
limitless. That with passion, hard work, and resilience almost any dream
can be accomplished. And I have a lot of dreams.
My entire life, except for the two years I wanted to be Hannah Montana, I
have strived to help others. My dream is to be a leader in bioengineering,
shaping and contributing to the forefront of bioengineering research, in
order to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Through my
endless passion for math, science, and engineering, combined with my
resilience and collaborative abilities, I know I will be able to accomplish
this.

I have countless other dreams and aspirations as well. I started Latin in

6th grade and I was terrible at it. I decided I would become a “Latin
master” to lay a foundation for Spanish fluency in college. I studied hard
for four years and by my sophomore year I was extremely honored to
earn a silver medal in the Latin III National Latin Exam. I want to run a
half marathon (after my sprint triathlon, of course). Through dedication
and discipline I have worked from barely being able to run to morning 7
mile runs and will be at 13.1 by April 2nd for the Big D half marathon.

From my earliest days, I have been a storyteller. I have imagined futuristic

worlds where climate change has turned plants carnivorous, or where
simulation technology has allowed us to learn history by experiencing it.
But of all of these worlds that I write into stories, there is one in particular
that captivates me:

“Which face should I get? I’m debating between these two, but I think I like
the nasal bridge on this one more.”

In this futuristic world, people shop for faces that can be affixed with a
head transplant. The people simply browse through a catalog and choose
from the available options in the way we might shop for wedding cakes.
Following the transplant procedure, one’s previous head is added to the
catalog for purchase by the next buyer.

The idea seems completely bizarre.

That is, until we begin to more carefully consider the present. On Earth,
beauty sways society, leading to the emergence of cosmetic surgery as
one of the fastest-growing industries. Here, rapid scientific advancement
trumps every earthly limitation, and scientists have recently completed the
first successful head transplant on a monkey.

These considerations coalescing, my bizarre idea suddenly comes to life.

What is to say that, in 100 years or so, we won’t break the barriers of
cosmetic limitations and wear a head that we weren’t born with? The idea
terrifies me, but perhaps that is why I am so drawn to it: Science
eliminates limitations. It is already eliminating the “fiction” in my “science
fiction.”

A lot of people mention measles in the same breath as scarlet fever or

polio. It’s supposed to be obsolete. But that’s not the case in Oregon,
where I’m from, and where some of my own relatives have what they feel is
a healthy suspicion of vaccination.

The summer I first went to an intensive program for female and minority
STEM teenagers at Oregon State was also the summer I spent a week with
some family members who are extremely skeptical of vaccinations. It was
strange to leave OSU and land up at a dinner table where my uncle was
decrying not only shots but also climate change and other issues the
liberal science geeks I’d just spent four weeks with hold dear.

At first, I wanted to point out how wrong my family was, but when I started
to listen, I realized that they’d read a lot—they just weren’t reading the
sources I’d been taught to trust, and they weren’t following scientific
methods of inquiry.

I still don’t know how to reconcile those two worlds, but I know someone
has to try. I dream of being a doctor because someone has to learn about
not only the science but also the society the science is meant to help, and
I plan to do both.

“You’re stupid!!” exclaimed James. “Well you’re ugly!” shouted Ethan. We

were sitting around the dinner table and my brothers, as usual, were
bickering. After about two minutes of this, my dad broke into song. He
sang, in a mostly on pitch falsetto, “what the world needs now, is love
sweet love.” My brothers, my mom and I all rolled our eyes, but of course
we kept singing. Then we sang “All you need is love” and “I’ll be there.”
After years of this constant playlist, during laundry, dinners, and hikes, I
realized what truly matters to me: love.

Love is what makes my life worth living. Whether it be love of my family, of

my friends, of my activities, or of my future it makes me excited to get up
and start my day. The sense of harmony I feel when dancing in the car with
my family, or painting with my friends, or working with my team on our
solar car is indescribably fulfilling. Through playing ukelele and singing
with my family to working diligently in a lab to create a process that will
alleviate the pain of another person, I will have the love that is of utmost
importance to me. I will fill my life and the lives of others with love and
harmony.

A meaningful discussion can be found deep in the jungle of YouTube,

during an obscure “CBS This Morning” interview with Bill Murray.
“What do you want, that you don’t have?” - Charlie Rose
Bill Murray - “I’d like to be here all the time, and just see what I could get
done, what I could do if I really, you know, didn’t cloud myself... if I were
able to... to not get distracted. To not change channels in my mind and
body, to be my own channel.”

Death is scary but my slimy, monolithic, Lovecraftian fear is

unengagement. I only have a brief time to experience life and I know I will
find the most fulfillment in “[seeing] what I could get done.” When I feel
that signature fuzzy, tired feeling in my head, I am reminded of my old
night terrors; I would be awake yet unable to interact with my
surroundings.

In sophomore year, when I discovered my passion for physics, I found a

powerful way to stay engaged. Developing a passion fundamentally
requires me, as Murray puts it, “to be my own channel.” Problem solving,
understanding difficult concepts, having intense discussions all demand
your mind to be present and I am more than happy to oblige.
Intellectual vitality is not my application buzzword, it is my lifestyle.

In the spirit of inaugurating the life-long relationship I hope we’ll build this
year, let me tell you a little about myself.

Hi, I’m Tom. I’m the second child of a comically over-optimistic refugee
mother (my Vietnamese name translates, literally, to “celestial being”) and
a proud Kentuckian with a deep passion for student-driven advocacy. I
have two parents, two stepparents, a nineteen-year-old sister (a junior in
Product Design, here, at Stanford), a three-year-old half-sister, two cats,
one dog, and a complicated life that spans two households. So, I’m used
to sharing space and managing shifting schedules.

I’ve also always been the “Mom” friend. To me, the little things—a
chocolate chip cookie when I know a friend has a rough day ahead, words
of encouragement before a big presentation, or staying up late to explain a
tough physics problem—mean the most. I’ll be there when you need me—
be it studying for tests or navigating personal challenges.

I recycle incessantly and am known to snatch cans out of the trash, wash
them, and relocate them to neighboring blue bins. I keep a regular sleep
schedule, rarely going to bed past midnight or waking up later than 8:30.
I’m averse to gyms, opting instead to go for runs in the morning or follow
along to a YouTube workout in the afternoon.

I’m passionate, but also even-keeled. I think life is best taken in stride—
worrying has never gotten me anywhere, but flexibility has taken me
everywhere. I look forward to an awesome year!

Dear Roomie,
Some disclaimers before we room together:
1. If I arrive before you, don’t be alarmed by the tissue boxes everywhere.
My parents made the conscious decision to expand our cat population
despite (or because of) my allergies, and my four cats probably ambushed
my suitcase while I was packing. So don’t be surprised if I invite you to
one-too-many games of Exploding Kittens. It’s me projecting my fantasies,
so please indulge me.

2. Whenever you open a Google Doc around me, change the font to
Georgia or Cambria (my personal favorites). If you’re a seasoned Arial
user, you’re likely mindlessly going along with what everyone else is doing
—I get it. But Arial is objectively a bad font; the only acceptable time to
use Arial is if you’re being passive aggressive… and even then, just use
comic sans… (Criticizing people’s font choices is only half my personality,
I promise.)

3. You’ll see me embarrassing myself around campus by flailing on the

dance floor, doing improv, or in drag, and I hope to see the same from you.
I want to get excited about everything you’re passionate about– interests
I’ve probably never even thought about before.

4. When I’m armed with a bottle of Zyrtec, being my roommate isn’t all bad.
I’ll bring copious amounts of Peach Snapple bottles, probably enough to
last the semester. You can take as many bottles as you want, so long as
you leave me the Snapple “Facts”…. I’m an avid collector.

Hey Roomie! Yesterday was insane. I still can’t quite get over the energy in
that stadium after that final play. I guess Berkeley couldn’t take back the
axe to cut down these Trees!

I’m writing you this since I have an 8:30 Syntax and Morphology with Dr.
Gribanov. I know, it’s early, but that class is honestly worth waking up for.
Last Friday, he spent the entire period rambling about why regardless and
irregardless are the same thing, but responsible and irresponsible aren’t.
Just a fun little thought to start your day.

I’m also writing you this as a quick apology. I won’t be back from Mock
Trial until late evening, and then I’ll be practicing for Stanford Symphony
auditions. So, if you hear cacophonous noises in your sleep, it’s most
likely me. Plus, it’s Mahler Symphony No. 1, so you might not sleep much
anyway. Kidding.

These next few days are jam-packed, but I’m craving some much-needed
bonding time! I have a proposal: how does a jam session this Friday at
Terman Fountain sound? I’ll bring the guitar and plenty of oldies sheet
music, you just gotta bring a snack and the desire to sing! I’ve sold a few
people already. Join us?

Well, I’m headed to breakfast now. Text me if you want me to grab you

Dear Roomie,

Tupac Shakur is not dead. You might believe that he is, because yes, his
body is buried somewhere. But many of his messages are still very much
alive. So future roomie, if we are going to be as close as I hope (and if you
see me rapping “Life Goes On” in my Star Wars pajamas), you should
know this about me:

As a biracial person, I have felt extremely troubled for the past few years
regarding the social inequalities and injustices in our society. 2PAC says
in his song “Changes,” “I’m tired of bein’ poor and even worse I’m black.”
He says “I see no changes.”

I want to change this. I want Tupac’s spirit to behold a United States in

which everyone has equal access to education and to healthcare. A U.S.
where no one is discriminated against based on their race, gender,
sexuality, or religion. I have already begun working towards equality,
through educational outreach and political volunteerism. I will continue
this at Stanford, through participating in peaceful protests and spreading
awareness of the issues at hand. This might mean you’ll notice me coming
and going a lot or going on frustrated rants about the ignorance and
injustices in our society and our world. However, I hope you’re a person
who will not only understand my perspective but be willing to march
towards equality with me.

I am so excited for this year and the many years to come!

Dear roommate,

Don’t be alarmed if you glance over at my laptop late at night displaying a

plague doctor examining a watermelon with a stethoscope, meticulously
listening for a heartbeat.

I apologise for waking you, but before requesting a room change, allow me
to explain. This twisted scene is innocently my favorite video on YouTube.
I have ASMR, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It is a euphoric,
calming sensation triggered by visual and auditory stimuli like whispering
and fine movements, which I use to aid my insomnia. This plague doctor,
played by youtuber Ephemeral Rift, has movements as he inspects the
watermelon that are as calming to me as a mother’s lullabies are to a child.

I know we will both have our strong, unique personalities with our
individual quirks like this. However, I guarantee we have a fundamental
similarity which lead us to becoming Stanford students.

We have passion for learning. Even if two people are polar-opposite

personalities, they can become family if they have this.

That said, I have a feeling we won’t be polar opposites. I love jamming on

my guitar, going out to parties, playing video games, messing around with
soccer, and a hodgepodge of other hobbies. I’m sure we’ll have some
common ground to start off but either way there will be plenty of time to
grow together!

P.S. I am a whiteboard fiend. I hope that’s okay.

faces today? (50 words)

1. The deterioration of political and personal empathy. There’s been an

aggressive devaluing of inclusive mindsets and common ground rules
—the kind of solidarity of purpose necessary to accommodate divergent
viewpoints, respect evidence, share burdens, and tackle
national/international emergencies like climate change and immigration.
We are fumbling—in backwards tribalism—while the world burns.

2. Where’s Waldo books.

By searching for Waldo, we subconsciously teach children that certain
people aren’t meant to belong–they are meant to be hunted. Our brains
may be hardwired to notice people who are different, but we are
instructed to treat those people differently.
Searching for Waldo must be consciously unlearned.

3. Ignorance poses a paradoxical issue: we can’t solve a problem that we

don’t know exists.
For fifteen years, I heard gentrification and thought humanitarian. The
Oxford English Dictionary had even taught me that gentrification means
“positive change.” How can such atrocities become noticed when our
perceptions are so skewed?

4. Greed. The root of all evil. To make momentous strides towards

improving societal conditions, people and corporations must put aside
their greed. Unfortunately, greed – the deep, dark desire for power and
money – is the dominant force at work in many aspects of society,
making it society’s most significant challenge.

5. Society faces many challenges: migration, climate change, population

growth, terrorism, public health crises, economic decline,
discrimination of many kinds, etc.

1. Valentina Tereshkova’s 1963 spaceflight. Tereshkova’s skill, grit, and

persistence carried her from working in a textile factory, through
grueling tests and training, to becoming the first woman to fly solo in
space. Her accomplishment remains symbolic of women’s
empowerment and the expanded progress that’s possible with equity in

In 2001, Egyptian authorities raided a gay nightclub, arresting 55 men.

2. The prosecutors tried them under fujur laws—initially passed by
Egyptian nationalists to counter British ‘immorality’ during colonization.
Watching the prosecution construct homosexuality as un-Egyptian
would illustrate the extent anti-Western sentiment drove homophobia

Most children acquire the same eye color or a similar shaped nose from
their parents, but I've inherited much more: a passion for learning and
an insatiable curiosity which has served me well throughout my
academic career. My father, an electrical engineer, taught me to explore
the world with inquisitive eyes, constantly seeking to learn more, to
understand more. I watched him for hours as he worked on elevator
schematics at home, wondering what all the various symbols and lines
meant. I was fascinated by technology and wanted to know how and
why things worked the way they did.

"How does this toaster work?" "What’s inside this VCR?" I was never
satisfied with the simplified answers that my parents sometimes gave to
these questions. So I discovered many answers for myself by exploring
and experimenting.

My playground was a jumble of old circuit boards, spare electric wire,

and an assortment of broken appliances. I spent hours disassembling
and tinkering with the amazing treasures I found lying around our
garage. My mother, a first grade teacher, noticed my intellectual
curiosity and encouraged my childhood explorations. She gave me piles
of mind-opening children's books, which I willingly read. Books like
"What Makes Popcorn Pop, and Other Questions about the World
around Us" allowed me to discover the irresistible appeal of imaginative
questions and their fascinating answers.

I was given a remarkable amount of freedom at a young age. When I was

6, my parents bought an old computer for $25 from a local yard sale
with the intention of letting me loose on it. I was thrilled. Motivated by
curiosity, I delved into it at once and learned how to use each and every
feature of the computer's antiquated MS-DOS operating system. With
my father's help and an old programming book by my side, I even
created simple videogames for my younger brother to play.
My parents taught me to be independent and self-motivated by
providing me opportunities to learn by trial and error. I recall an episode
where my parents bought a new microwave when I was just 8 years old.
As they unpacked the microwave, I caught sight of the owner's manual
and asked to see it. After reading the 40-page text front-to-back, I
learned one very important thing: how to use a feature called "child
lock," or as I saw it, "parent lock." By pressing a special sequence of
buttons on the microwave, I disabled it, thus protecting my parents from
the dangers of using the appliance without my supervision. Until this
day, the first thing I do after buying a new gadget is read the entire
manual, in search of nifty features

My intellectual curiosity is the result of a unique combination of early

influences and childhood experiences which have fueled my passion for
learning inside and outside of the classroom -- learning from everything
I do. I hope to continue applying this curiosity to all aspects of my life,
exploring the world through the eyes of my childhood persona. By
refusing to accept the obvious explanation, refusing to settle for a
superficial understanding, and refusing to endure the status quo, great
American innovators like my role model Benjamin Franklin created new
knowledge, new technologies, and new innovations. I strive to do the
same. It's part of who I am, and what drives me to become .

I am an Internet entrepreneur. Since age 12, I have coded and designed

websites -- for my school, the local community, and as a personal
hobby and pastime. In fact, I started my own Internet business in 2004
and was hired as a webmaster by Intel Corporation this past summer. I
also volunteer my free time to run the website of the largest community
service club at my high school, Key Club. My interest in Internet
technology started out as a mere curiosity and casual pursuit, but has
steadily evolved into an intellectual passion that defines who I am
today. When I first signed onto the Net at age 10, I felt a curiosity and
zeal unlike anything I had felt before. The Net was my new toy and I
wanted to know what made it tick. Thus began my quest for answers. I
learned HTML, the basic building blocks of every website. Next, I taught
myself JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, PHP, MySQL, XML . . . and
the list goes on. At age 14, I started an Internet business called
FreeTheFlash Entertainment. The website, (www.FreeTheFlash.com), is
a multimedia entertainment portal that collects user-submitted videos,
flash animations, and games from all over the Net. In the process of
starting and maintaining this website I’ve learned leadership,
communication, and business skills that literally define who I am today.
I’ve learned that innovation and new ideas are crucial in creating
anything successful and worthwhile in today’s rapidly evolving
technological landscape. In the last year alone, my website reached
over 620,000 visitors who viewed over 3 million webpages. I’m proud of
my web development talent because it allows me to share my creativity
with the world, while providing others a vehicle to share their creativity
as well.

Upon first sight of my room, you might get the impression that I am an
unorganized, pack-rat slob. There are piles of clothes lying in heaps
around the room and the only way to determine if they are clean or dirty
is to sniff each article of clothing individually. Empty videogame boxes
are arranged inventively on my dresser and floor. The bed is a mess and
the pillows are nowhere to be seen. You may say to yourself, "I can't
room with someone like this." But, remember the familiar adage "you
can't judge a book by its cover?" That is as true as can be when it
comes to me. Don't get me wrong. It's not like I couldn't straighten up
my room if I wanted to -- but I'd much rather be reading the latest issue
of Fortune Small Business magazine, studying, or rolling out new
improvements to my half-dozen websites. I'm always scheming
something new; I've been known to spend many hours dreaming up
fresh business ideas. Fortunately, this "messiness" is only limited to
my room, and no other parts of my life. I'm consistently ahead of the
game with my homework and I meet every extracurricular commitment
without a hitch. Perhaps it's because I never skip a beat in my school,
social, and business lives, that I'm forced to skip several beats when it
comes to cleaning my room. With only 24 hours in a day, I must
prioritize the order in which I tackle projects. For this reason, cleaning
my room often takes a back seat to that upcoming Calculus II test or the
launch of that new website I've been working on for the last 3 months... I
understand the importance of a clean living environment and I've been
working on straightening my room more regularly. I'm confident that by
the time we meet, I'll be able to keep the cover of the book looking as
first-rate as the pages inside

For six years I've been designing websites and Internet applications --
doing what I enjoy, what I excel at. I've pursued my ambitions and
developed a fervor for Internet technology as a medium for expressing
ideas and communicating knowledge. I've learned first-hand the power
of this technology to reach out and make connections with people, to
effect change, to make a difference in the world. There is no better place
to study Internet technology than Stanford, the foundation for many of
Silicon Valley's most innovative companies -- Google, Yahoo!, Hewlett-
Packard, and Sun Microsystems. I want to be immersed in a learning
environment that encourages innovation, teaches creativity, and fosters
an entrepreneurial spirit. I want to go to a school where I can live among
students who have the same appreciation for learning and drive
towards excellence that I have. My dream is to push the envelope of
Internet technology past its existing boundaries and limitations, to bring
new innovations and new ideas to the global marketplace. What better
place to strive for this dream than at Stanford? With esteemed
programs like Stanford Technology Ventures and the Mayfield Fellows
Program, a world-class faculty, and state-of-the art research facilities,
Stanford is the ideal university for the budding Internet entrepreneur
like me to excel both academically and socially. There is still a lot to be
learned about software and the Internet, and I hope to be on the
forefront of new developments. I'm not afraid to break tradition; to do
things better than they’ve been done before. At Stanford, the leading
institute in Internet development, I can make my dreams of leading the
Internet to a new generation a reality
