Draft:William (Gonash)

ABOUT- my good friend gonash.

Excellence is not just measured by academic achievement or success in life. From my perspective, excellence describes the ability to demonstrate perseverance, determination, and integrity in the face of hardships and difficulties. When I think of excellence, the first person that comes to mind is my good friend William, whom I have known since high school. William is not only a friend, but also a mentor whose dedication to his principles and unending pursuit of self-improvement made a great imprint on me, inspiring me to become a better person. When I think about William, I think of his countless hours volunteering at his local church, where he selflessly dedicates his time to support those in need. Despite being a busy computer science major like me, he still makes time for volunteer work. At the same time, he studies well and never hesitates to give others (including myself) free tutoring on assignments. To me, his inspiring actions display excellence, which is why I chose him for my project. There are quite a few things that I would like to know about William. I want to know how he keeps up with his busy schedule and why he does what he does. I feel like there aren't many people like him in the world, and I am curious about what inspires him to do what he does. The two questions I would like to ask him for the interview are: What keeps you motivated to continue doing volunteer work while you pursue your degree? And To you, what is the value of helping others?
