Garbo Chung

Have you ever met someone who loves napping as much as Garbo Chung? Regardless of what time it is, she always manages to find the time to squeeze in a nap and dream, especially before a class or after school. Another thing you might not have known about Garbo is that she is a talented artist; one of her most beloved pastimes is water coloring. Taking inspiration from 18th-century painter J. M. W. Turner, who is her favorite artist, she sees water coloring as a medium for expressing the wonder and magnificence of the world. Garbo also finds enjoyment in playing the piano, performing pieces such as Mariage d’Armour and Beethoven’s Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor, nicknamed “Für Elise.” Aside from the arts and music, Garbo’s academic interests are geared toward mathematics and sciences. At Webb, Garbo is the President of the Math and the Physics & Astronomy Clubs, and she dedicates a lot of her time to Webb’s robotics program and her team, 358 Gaulbots, which earlier in the year made it to the Regional Championship at Monrovia High School. One of her fondest Webb memories happened during her freshman year, when she and a few other boarders used a Ouija board and freaked themselves out for days, believing they had summoned spirits that were going to haunt the dorms. As of now, Garbo plans to major in Computer Science at Stanford University. Once she graduates, Garbo sees herself being a researcher in the near future, residing in an apartment situated in a large city, and definitely taking as many naps as possible.
