I like to exercise, art, and swim very much, If you are one of my friends, you know that I don't like to talk to someone I don't know. However, all my friends know that I talk a lot with them.

I also play the flute now, and in my free time, I’d like to play tennis, go eat, or cook. And the best thing to do for me is sleep. I’m very enjoying the time on my bed.

Aaron Ju / CLARINET
Strake Jesuit College Preparatory (G9)
Being one of those active guys, I enjoy both playing and watching sports. In my free time I like spending time chatting with my friends, and when I'm alone I'd probably binge watch TV Show series in bed. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I recover myself by listening to nostalgic music.

If you know me I’m kinda a guy that likes to talk to people, but if my friend is around me, I can’t stop talking. Other than playing clarinet during my free time is to do hand making, such as wood crossbows.

I like reading the LoTR series and telling people about vague characters from obscure LoTR books, playing video games under the disguise of coding, and drinking bubble tea. As of now, my life savings are almost $2, but I am trying to make more money.

Julie Pao / CLARINET
Lawrence E Elkins High School (G11)
As a clarinet player, I truly enjoy performing and playing in orchestras. However, besides music, I am pursuing my interest in medical sciences through research, and I like being outdoors since participating in so many BSA scouting activities such as kayaking, climbing, and mountain hiking! Also, I am currently in love with reading as I am much compelled by Jane Austen’s books and I love eating at La Madeleine on the weekends!

Beside playing the clarinet, I also enjoying reading, programming (especially game development), listening to epic classical music at top volume, and training for triathlon. I no longer play any video games, but instead dedicate my time to writing novels and music composition. My dream vacation destination is Santorini, and I would also like to try out skydiving sometime soon. I can always use a good sleep.
