Steven Li Born in New York City, Steven has lived all around from China to California before finally settling in Seattle, his hometown. The last two years of his high school were spent at United World College Costa Rica, basically a high school United Nations, where he was exposed to many different cultures from all around the world. There, he realized not only the vast injustices that plague the world, but also the sheer and vast possibility for change. The defining lesson of the experience was the Golden Rule: what you wish upon others, you wish upon yourself. At Middlebury, Steven is pursuing a degree in Political Science and Geography as he believes that any sort of change will center around the issues of power and space. Steven eventually wants to work for the United Nations. Last summer, Steven worked in street children education and rehabilitation in Ethiopia and Kenya. This winter, Steven participated in a study of the effects of climate change on high-altitude indigenous communities in Peru. |
