Vinh Huynh is passionate about math and science. As a sophomore at Augsburg, he is not sure what direction he is heading, but he knows it will include the sciences. He feels especially proud of the contributions he has made to younger children in his service-to-children project.

“I love to see how these kids actually took my advice of how important education is and how they are working harder just to live out their ambitious dreams. Working with these kids has changed me both personally and professionally, with my educational career and in life. To see the bright smiles from influencing these students in a positive way, it was worthwhile to me, and actually I have time in college to learn my lesson and redeem myself in my educational career. I believe everyone deserves a second chance.”
