CHANGES: Simple gestures of kindness

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Sarah Tu SYLP student Too often, we overlook the opportunities to reach out and do something nice for someone else. Simple acts of kindness or appreciation that could have far reaching effects are thus kept hidden from view. Saying “thank you” is stifled for fear of self embarrassment or because we are too self-centered, […]

CHANGES: Be like water

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Tony Le SYLP student Change. It happens to all of us. Whether it be a change in hairstyle or a change in character, everyone changes. Change will not always be a good thing, nor will it always be bad. Sometimes, it may be so slow and subtle that it will occur without you noticing. […]

IDENTITY: Opening up

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By William Zhou SYLP student I was one of the older students in the Summer Youth Leadership Program, but age didn’t stop me from meeting new friends. About two months ago, when I graduated from high school, I realized that I probably won’t see some of those people ever again. However, SYLP is sort of […]

IDENTITY: Growing up with a mixed background

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Michelle Wagner SYLP student When people first meet or see me, I’ve been told that it’s usually difficult to tell what ethnicity I am, and eventually, people ask me about it. I’ve been told that I look Caucasian, Mexican, anything except Asian. To answer the question, I am half Chinese and a mix of […]

IDENTITY: Losing the Chinese culture

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Daniel Luke SYLP student Over the past two to three decades, the rapid growth of modernization across the globe has caused much more value to be put into the educational system and technology. Living side-by-side with this fast-paced society, things became very hectic. However, if we look beyond the past 20 to 30 years, […]

INSPIRATION: Clearer goals for life

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Craig Yamaguchi SYLP student This camp has improved my leadership abilities a lot. It has helped me to believe in what I do and learn more about life lessons and goals for the future. The speakers that have come through for the camp really affected me in many ways. The speakers who were in […]

INSPIRATION: The inspiration of success

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Eric Huynh SYLP student There’s no better feeling than excelling at what you do. No one would’ve known that a 14-year-old student would be a part of something much bigger and be known around the nation. After being coached by several top players in the world and learning from their success, I set out […]

INSPIRATION: Dream on

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Jennifer Khuu SYLP student Everyone has his or her own personal legend. While being a participant at the Summer Youth Leadership Program, founded by the publisher of the Northwest Asian Weekly, Assunta Ng, I’ve been able to hear amazing guest speakers and learn a little bit more about myself. We should all do what […]

INSPIRATION: Have passion

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Christina Nguyen SYLP student As an Asian American, you have to do what people tell you to do in order to “succeed.” There is too much pressure  on our shoulders, whether it’s listening to parents grumble about chores to knowing who to fall in love with. Letting people tell you what you want isn’t […]
