Ray's Story
School
I had the biggest crush on Kathleen O'Reilly in grammar school. In High School it was Jodi Bailey. Since high school and the awkward years of growing up, dating and being one of the only asians in my school. University was very cool and had time to live life, know myself and develop confidence . Life has been good to me, and have been very lucky to be doing what I do working and living across the world. I'm now working and homeowner in Silicon Valley.
I was most inspired by my 4th grade teacher, Ms Patricia Read, who taught me to believe in myself, to develop self confidence and to help me realize I had potential.
