ABOUT ME

humorous & creative

Hi! My name is Sean Cho.

I'm a 9th grader at Fay School.

Those who know me describe me as funny, caring, and responsible. I think that I have a good sense of humor. I love making my friends laugh and brightening the atmosphere. There's nothing quite like the sound of laughter filling the room.

Likewise, spreading positivity and kindness is my mission. Caring for others and being responsible are values that I take to heart. When given a task, I approach it with diligence and take full ownership of the outcomes. By being reliable and trustworthy, I strive to earn the respect and trust of those around me.

I enjoy being creative and expressing my thoughts. When I'm not playing the French horn or skiing, you can catch me taking photos and writing during my spare time.

I received the Primus award based on academics, effort, conduct, service, and athletics at Fay School. I always strive for the best, and it was rewarding to be recognized for my effort at school.

My favorite academic subject is history. I am captivated by the stories of the past, the struggles and triumphs of individuals, and the lessons we can learn from their experiences. Nowadays, I am studying the history of South Africa and its struggle for independence.
