Is language a barrier or a bridge? Grant Cho explores the challenges and importance and role of language in communication, culture and indentity.

Grant participates and holds leadership positions in several of his school’s academic clubs and community organizations which include FBLA, Speech and Debate Club, and the Westminster Free Clinic. Grant plays the violin in CSUN’s Youth Philharmonic and Westlake’s Chamber Orchestra. He also speaks three languages – Korean, English, and Chinese. In the future, he hopes to become a Pediatrician or Family Practitioner. Through hard work and making connections with others via music and conversation, he believes that he can make a great impact on people’s lives and health. Grant would like to thank his parents, his mentor and former teacher Mrs. Chung, and all of his friends and extended family for their love and support.
