Wesley Koo

Wesley grew up in Shanghai, a sensational, exuberant city in eastern China. He spent 14 years there and came to the United States for high school. He went to high school in Claremont, CA, a place totally different from Shanghai; it is a peaceful town of 30,000--full of good-natured, retired citizens of America and five colleges including Pomona, Claremont McKenna, and Harvey Mudd. He has just finished his first year at MIT--a school undoubtedly more exciting than a big, liberal arts school down the street whose name starts with an "H". At MIT, he plans to major in business management and environmental engineering. He chose these majors because he has a strong interest in dealing with people, the environment, and people with respect to the environment. In his spare time, he reads literature ranging from white literature to black literature, latino literature to asian literature--literature... He sings pop songs and recites poetry out loud just for self-entertainment. He is interested in the history of many regions and dimensions, and he is a huge fan for travelling. He writes travel logs wherever he goes in order to remind himself of the information 20 years from now. Some of the places he has been to are Estonia, Chile (for investigating tsunami and earthquakes), and Azerbaijan (high school debate exchange). Additionally, he worked for several official organizations in China as translators of all kinds of documents and information. He is particularly attracted to solving the landmine problem in Southeast Asia, and this is one of the major reasons he applied to SEALNet.
