Humans of Sophomore Honors: Tomas Paoli - Our Democracy

Summary

I interviewed Tomas Paoli and I learned that he is from Indonesia, is very self driven, and doesn't let anything stop him from achieving his goals.

Tomas Paoli

“I think i’m a hard worker, I try my best in everything even when I don't succeed.”

“I grew up in Indonesia for my first 5 years and I only remember fragments of it but I remember I was really happy there”

“There were times in my life where it was very hard to speak my truth, speak my mind and my parents helped me speak my mind.”

“I failed a test one time and I felt dumb and was really down about it but I retook it and got a better grade. It made me feel better about myself.”
