I study in University of Washington and I am from Malaysia, a multicultural country. Over the past four years of being away from home, I have grown and improved a lot. Coming from a multicultural country, I am fluent in English, Malay, Mandarin, and Cantonese and I can be a linguistic to overcome the language barrier in the University of California – Santa Barbara (UCSB)’s community. My knowledge of different cultures and religions will promote mutual understanding in the community. I can adapt into new environment smoothly and I can help others to blend into new environment as well. Therefore, I learn empathy and understand people from their perspectives. My experience in helping my brother to battle with depression further instills empathy in me. Thus, I can be a cultural navigator to help people to see in others perspective and a good listener. Therefore, based on my cultural background and life experiences, I will increase productivity, promote mutual understanding, foster good mental development within the UCSB community. By joining the UCSB’s community, I can be a linguistic. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay. Furthermore, I am still learning Japanese in UW. I am aware that language barrier is common especially in the Physics department where people from the world gather to do Physics. I work in the UW Trapped Ion Quantum Computing Lab. I sense there is a huge barrier between non-English native speakers and English native speakers.
