What accomplishments are you most proud of and why?<\/p>\n<p>A. I\u2019m most proud of being able to meet my friends and teachers in high school. Without them, I don\u2019t think I would have had the motivation or understanding to change myself and be who I am today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"Loc Bui Ph\u1ea1m\" width=\"267\" height=\"577\" data- src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CVC-L-BUIPHAM-0425.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"1301834\" \/>Loc Bui Ph\u1ea1m<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"Loc Bui Ph\u1ea1m, with his mother, Hong Ph\u1ea1m, and father, Phuc Bui, holds his National Honor Society certificate of membership.\" width=\"2400\" data- src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CVC-L-BUIPHAM-0425-2.jpeg\" data-attachment-id=\"1301835\" \/>Loc Bui Ph\u1ea1m, with his mother, Hong Ph\u1ea1m, and father, Phuc Bui, holds his National Honor Society certificate of membership.<\/p>\n<p>Q. What were your most rewarding school or community activities?<\/p>\n<p>A. The most rewarding community activities are Key Club and Science Olympiad. Being in Key Club allows me to give back to people, like my mother does. For\u00a0 Science Olympiad, it helped build my confidence and allowed me to apply my knowledge from what I learned.<\/p>\n<p>Q. Do you have any hobbies? What do you do in your spare time?<\/p>\n<p>A. My hobby is art. Whenever I have time, I draw and sketch. If possible, I\u2019d even like to continue ceramics as a hobby in the future or become a better cook on the side.<\/p>\n<p>Q. What are your plans after high school graduation? Why did you choose this path?<\/p>\n<p>A. After graduating, I\u2019d like to go into civil engineering. I chose it because I would help the world become more efficient, stable, and safer for people, but also because I believe I would enjoy the challenge of solving certain problems as an engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Q. What do you see yourself doing and where do you see yourself living in 15 years?<\/p>\n<p>A. In 15 years, anything is possible, but I hope to fix the world, even if it\u2019s in small increments. I couldn\u2019t imagine myself living too far from home, but I would probably live by myself.<\/p>\n<p>Q. Whom do you most admire and why?<\/p>\n<p>A. It\u2019s not one person, but it is both of my parents. My mother inspired me to have more belief in people and be more giving. My father inspired me to be more efficient with my time, and that if I want something done, I should do it right away.<\/p>\n<p>Q. In a sentence, what is your philosophy of life?<\/p>\n<p>A. Time is money, so spend it wisely.<\/p>\n<p>Q. Finish this sentence: The most interesting thing about me is \u2026<\/p>\n<p>A. \u2026 how much I don\u2019t know about myself.<\/p>\n<p>A Little About Loc Bui-Ph\u1ea1m<\/p>\n<p>Hometown: Wyoming<\/p>\n<p>Parents: Hong Ph\u1ea1m and Phuc Bui<\/p>\n<p>Some of his honors: Ranked among the top of his class; National Honor Society; nominated for Rensselaer Medal; Senior Board Representative<\/p>\n<p>Some of his activities: Science Olympiad, medalist and competed in regionals and states; Key Club; Ping Pong Club; Board Game Club; Film Club; Swim Club<\/p>\n<p>Some of his athletics: Swim, tennis<\/p>\n<p>Some of his community service: Volunteered work includes Little Eric\u2019s Day, food pantry, tutoring<\/p>\n<p>His nominator said: Loc is a wonderful young man with a bright future ahead of him.
