Faith Pan
2025
Hello! My name is Faith Pan, and I am currently a Junior at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. It has been a wonderful experience here. Within SHC, I participate in a number of clubs, including Mandarin Club, Sports Medicine, TEDx, Badminton, Student Launch Initiative, Debate, and the Asian American Student Union. Throughout these years, I have successfully discovered a calling for being curious, learning, and leading as a result of trying on different “hats”. Currently, I hold leadership positions in Badminton Club, AASU, and SLI.
Growing up, science, has been an striving passion for me. Since I was a child, I just knew that I wanted follow my parents’ footsteps and be involved with the medical field. I told them this, so before high school, they aided me in preparing by sending me to KUMON Math and STEM classes. They would also often share interesting stories and knowledge with us (my brothers and I) about their experiences, which ultimately strengthened my interest in medicine. I am extremely grateful to my parents and love them dearly. Recently, I participated in an internship with OFA and learned html and css. Although it didn’t have much to do with medicine, it still sparked an interest in computer science and engineering. But continuing on with my studies, I have discovered that AP Psychology is super interesting! I have also been following through with my goal by trying to organize my schedule and take more STEM classes.
Outside of school, I also have many other interests and passions. Being not as athletic, I engage myself in golf, badminton, and skiing. For the arts, I believe that it is not only an elective or hobby to enjoy, but also a skill that takes hard work, dedication, commitment to master. Having studied at Artworks for 6 years now, I have learned a lot about the visual arts. I have played the piano for around 2 years and just got my abrsm Grade 5 certification! Some of my other interests include practicing calligraphy, researching, and reading. (I also just spend a lot of my free time with my little brothers and family.)
I hope to make the most of my four years here at SHC as a member of the i2 program through being curious and discovering new interests to better help the world! Thank you for reading my bio!
