Welcome to my portfolio! My name is Thompson, class of 2023 at UWCSEA East.

I am from Hong Kong and lived in many different places. In my life, I’ve been to over 10 different and unique schools and campuses. I was born in Hong Kong but never really lived there for long since I moved away from there when I was three. After this I moved to Taiwan, this is also where I learned Chinese. After one and half years in Taiwan, my family moved to Chengdu, where I studied in QSI. The teachers were really friendly and were very passionate about teaching. This was how I was able to learn English in three months. After Chengdu, we moved to Shanghai where I spent three years in YCIS. I was able to make great friendships over there and to this day I am still in contact with many of them! After YCIS, I went to New Jersey in America. I was able to travel around the U.S. and see beautiful scenery like Yellowstone Park. This is also where I got my dog, Codi! After three happy years, my family moved to Singapore. I stayed shortly (4 and a half months) in CIS and then got into UWCSEA.

I enjoy playing video games, coding and hanging out with my friends in my free time. On this website, I not only hope to record my academic life but also my personal experiences.

My IB Subjects

My Higher Levels:

Math Analysis & Approaches (AA): I chose to do Analysis & Approaches Higher Level as I felt it suited me the most. Math is one of the most enjoyable subjects for me at school and I am interested in pursuing Computer Science in university.

Computer Science: I chose to do computer science as throughout the years I have build small programs and games through programming. By learning computer science at school, I will be able to further my understanding and help prepare me for university.

Physics: Physics can be seen all around our lives. By learning more about physics, I will be able to better understand my surroundings and apply my knowledge in real life situtations. Addtionally, I will be able to put my critical thinking skills to use.

My Standard Levels:

Economics: This subject will allow me to explore the intricacies of how people act in a economy. I will also be able to understand how buisnesses, governments and markets connect with each other.

English Language and Literature: This course will help explore a wide variety of text types and help my writing skills to a many different set of situtations.

Chinese B: Because chinese is becoming a more prevalant language, learning chinese in high school will give me an advantage in the future when I am working with different people from different backgrounds.
