I'd say coding competitions were the biggest influences on what shaped me into who I am today. From UIL in high school to Imagine Cup in college, and recently a hackathon at work. I didn't always win, but I did learn something new every time.

Great opening blog, Mai! Will we see any more Thai phrases in future entries? I enjoy learning foreign terms.

Thank you for the shoutout! I got into creative writing/roleplay for its escapism. My characters were not limited by reality. I also got instant gratification by positive comments on my writing. Creative writing community helped boost my self esteem. Now that I'm older, I am trying to be more informed in newsworthy topics and my field of study.

I am glad you're brave enough to share your personal experiences and stories in a public stage.

The Extra Mile has great lyrics! New Year's Day is just few days away. This song will be great motivation for us all to be optimistic about opportunities for us to learn and grow in Year 2021!
