Walking into the dining hall and seeing Kelly Wang sitting at the round table with his numerous friends, you can tell that the essence of Kelly’s life is connecting with people he loves. Indeed, when describing himself, Kelly emphasizes “empathetic” and “loving.” Kelly finds warmth in trivial things, like chatting with friends during meals—what they do every day—and lighting up when talking about each of his friends. As a head waiter at weekly community dinners, Kelly helps generously and patiently with organizing used tableware, always emitting kindness even for students that he barely knows. However, Kelly’s love extends beyond his care for peers. Kelly’s love stems from his roots and family, calling many places home: Shandong, Suzhou, and Beijing of China and California, all of which he holds dear to his heart. Filial piety is one of Kelly’s foundational values, and he grows with a hope to give back to his parents and the world. After college, Kelly plans to lessen the burdens of his parents by taking on responsibilities and travel with them around the world. Kelly’s next journey, whether with family or friends, or even alone, will be radiant and warm like the dusk, because Kelly is the Sun, always emitting love for the world around him.
