I am Alice , living with my father, mother and younger brother in the city of La Canada Flintridge. I just finished the 7th grade in the La Canada High School. I attended the La Canada Elementary from the 1st to 6th grade. Before that, I was in Towers Elementary School in Torrance.

In 2009, I competed in the Chinese Youth Folk Dance Championship in Los Angeles and made it to the first place in the solo group for children younger than 12. This year, I performed with two other talented dancers in the Showbiz 2010 Regional Competition and our trio won the 1st place in Folkloric Category. I have performed in many Chinese cultural events, and the 2009 multicultural competition of the young performers “Colibri”. I also performed for the seniors at the Pasadena Senior Community Center.
