Andrew Vu, 2021 CSF Seymour Award South Central Region Finalist

I’m Andrew, and I’m a senior at El Camino Real Charter High School. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley after my family immigrated there from Vietnam, and I am hoping to be able to go there someday. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I love watching the movies and binging the TV shows! I also enjoy practicing the piano, playing video games, and listening to some of my favorite artists: The Beatles, The Raspberries, and Electric Light Orchestra. I really find it meaningful to help others, so I want to be a doctor when I am older. I will be majoring in Biology in college.

Andrew was nominated for this prestigious award by Chapter 891 Adviser Stefanie Bero. David Hussey is Principal at El Camino Real Charter High School in the El Camino School District.
