From a young age, I’ve been passionate about two things: robotics and sports. In high school, I spent countless hours in the robotics lab, exploring new design ideas with my teammates. At the same time, I was an avid athlete, running laps on the track and feeling energized after every workout. Running 15 laps would leave me pumped and ready to take on life’s challenges. One day, I met Dr. Wang, a director at Texas Instruments. Despite being nearly 50, he was incredibly energetic. I later learned that he participated in nearly ten marathons every year, which he credited for keeping both his body and mind sharp. Inspired by him, I decided to take on my first half marathon.
