Supplemental Materials for Admission Officers

Welcome!

This page serves as a supplement to my Common App application. Here, you’ll find supporting materials for the items I’ve mentioned, including videos, a self-written song and a PDF of my book.

Please feel free to explore. I hope these materials offer a deeper insight into who I am, both within and beyond my application.

The sound of a dream

When something truly matters, I believe it finds its way into music.

That’s why I wrote American Dream. It brought together my love of technology and my passion for music—two parts of me that, somehow, just fit.

There are many interpretations of the famous “American Dream.” This song is mine. Enjoy!

A heartfelt journey

Writing a book isn’t easy either. But once, a wise teacher told me, “Connecting with your past is the best way to prepare for a challenging future.” He was right.

That’s why I wrote Flyotopia: The Remarkable Story of Risk on a Journey to Freedom. It’s a reflection of where I’ve been and where I’m going. More than anything, I hope it helps others find freedom and courage in today’s abundance of options.
