PAUL YEN

CREATIVITY

 

is in my blood. I loved creating stories with my imagination for class projects, while playing with my Legos, or just sitting in the backseat on the drive home... blasting aliens.

BELIEVE

 

100%. I've been a cowboy, soldier, ninja, the Riddler, Chinese Drama characters, something from Wonder Woman, and the list goes on.

PEACE

 

of mind. There's no feeling like it. Helmet and gear on. All my troubles melt away.

CHALLENGE

 

myself everyday. Running the San Francisco Marathon was one of the biggest ones yet.

FITNESS

 

has been a part of me since 2002. But this picture suggests that I've been channeling my inner Bruce Lee from a young age. Enter the Paul!

DEFY

 

impossible and physics since it was not a strength in school.

LOVE

 

Wyatt, 

Huckleberry,

& Sodapop.

FAMILY

 

& Friends

First & Forever.

STRENGTH

 

in defying the odds. My parents raised me, my sister, and my brother in the aftermath of war, being a P.O.W., being captured by pirates, language barriers, and racism. They are my inspiration.

REBEL

 

with a cause. I will always fight for what I believe in, but will have an open mind and never stop learning and evolving as a person.
