Imma be real, I have no idea how to write a manifesto so please enjoy this ramble.

Who am I? Well, I’m just a guy in your class (the small Asian kid to be precise). I like art, guitar, photography, basketball, reading, and more (this feels like a Hinge profile). But enough about me, I want to ask: How are you? And not in the passing-by-you-in-the-corridor way where you’d probably answer something like “eh I’m fine” but really, genuinely: How are you?

Before university, I worked at the zoo, taking care of over 30 animals. There were our capybaras, unbothered by most things, our elderly beavers, who needed patience and our pelicans who were just menaces. Every animal required different forms of care. And just like them, I understand that each of YOU have different needs that I hope to address as your Wellbeing Rep. (NOT that I’m calling yall animals)

Despite the goofiness of this “manifesto”, I would like to conclude by saying that I am both serious about this role and qualified for it. For two years, I served in a police psychology department. There, I was trained in physical and psychological first aid, educated on topics like coping strategies and stress management and also raised awareness on mental health. I have the skills and passion to serve you, all I need is your vote. However, even if I am not chosen, I’ll still be here if you need a friendly chat, advice or just a listening ear.
