Nicole
CAI
Nicole Cai was born in Los Angeles, but she moved to Shanghai and grew up there. She then moved to Singapore when she was eleven. Growing up in Shanghai and Singapore, she always attended international schools. She was always aware of her international education privilege and opportunities, and she seeks to give back to her community.
My Story
Her gratitude deepened when she moved to Singapore. She found it easier there to pursue her studies and be able to get into a university she would like to attend in the future. Nicole has always wanted to go to university in the United States, she is interested in focusing on majors such as business, finance, entrepreneurship, etc.. Her dream job/goal is to own her own business, just like her father. Her father inspired her a lot ever since she was a little kid and she wants to follow in his footsteps. She believes that studying business and similar majors, or even attending a business focused university, could help her get closer to her career goals.
In school, Nicole picks her subjects based on her interests and how it would relate to her future and goals. She is interested in many different subjects, even those which are a bit different from her academic and future goals, such as English class. Nicole enjoys reading a lot. She also had taken part in many extracurricular activities and hobbies since she was a kid. She has done dance for about 8 years, though she doesn’t do it often anymore, but she also plays the guitar. She also participates in some volunteer activities and attends some clubs at her school such as Stairway, which advocates for cause of child abuse in the Philippines and to raise funds for the ones in need.
Looking ahead, she aims to pursue an interdisciplinary strategy towards addressing global issues such as poverty alleviation, gender inequality and mental health issues. She would also commit them to help address and resolve problems surrounding addiction especially for youth. One day, she looks forward to entering the world of business and mobilize capital and resources to achieve her goals.
