I was born in the Philippines eighteen years ago and moved to the United States when I was eight years old. I can understand both Tagalog and Waray-Waray, and speak Tagalog fluently. I will be attending Seattle Central Community College in January 2007. Since I like to help people and it is what I want to do in the future, I am planning to go into Social Work. Besides being an intern for Sustainable Seattle, I am also a youth staff with the WILD (Wilderness Inner-City Leadership Development) program at the International District Housing Alliance. I have been with them for four years; first starting out as one of the youth and now a youth program assistant. I’m always up for anything! I enjoy being active and love doing outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking, snowboarding, camping, etc. At the same time, I also love to relax, laugh, and enjoy the moment. “Imagine what you would do if you knew you couldn’t fail.”

My name is Guo Zhi Liu, and I am an intern at Sustainable Seattle for the SUNI project. I am also an Intergenerational Program Assistant at the International District Housing Alliance’s WILD (Wilderness Inner-city Leadership Development)Program. I am attending Seattle Central Community College this year. I like to study Mathematics and Biology.  I like to volunteer in my neighborhood and help people. I am really excited that I can be one of the members of Sustainable Seattle and WILD, and want to know what I can give back to my community. I want to be a successful person someday. Also, I like hanging out with my friends very much, enjoying the time we meet together, and I also love to travel to new regions by myself. That is so fun; nobody knows who you are.

I’m 18 years old and currently a first-year student studying full time at Seattle Central Community College.  I was born in Vietnam, and moved to the U.S about 10 years ago.  I speak multiple languages including; Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), Vietnamese, a little bit of Japanese, and of course English.  Before I joined WILD, I had been volunteering with other organizations.  These organizations included the Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC) and the Student Conservation Association (SCA).  I just started my internship this year at the International District Housing Alliance WILD program, as well as my internship for Sustainable Seattle's Sustainable Urban Neighborhood Initiative (SUNI) project.  Other than work, I really enjoy a good game of basketball with literally anyone, biking by myself, going out anywhere as long as it’s with my friends, and last but not least, nothing is better than watching a movie or football game on the couch, while relaxing my constantly working brain.
