Get to Know Your COA: Steven Thai
Spin us a yarn, Steven:
My name is Steven Thai and I am the COA for Minnesota and Iowa. I attend Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and am majoring in Political Science with a double minor in Communications and Sociology (hopefully). After graduation I plan to either attend law school or work for a lobbying organization in DC dealing with human rights or the MDG’s.
I am originally from a northern suburb of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) in Minnesota. I am the son of a Vietnamese immigrant who has worked very hard to be in the position he is in today. He has taught me that change in this world is possible and to stand up for those who do not have essential needs such as clean water or food to eat. My mother is from northern Minnesota and has taught me to accept everyone, no matter what walk of life they are from. I also have a younger brother who is currently a junior in high school.
I enjoy political activism, reading, running, lifting, music, and watching movies. I also love spending times with friends and my significant other. My favorite movies are All Over the Guy, Hotel Rwanda, The Devil Came on Horse Back, God Grew Tired of Us, and Finding Nemo. My favorite books are Audacity of Hope, Not on My Watch, Mountains Beyond Mountains, and Here’s What We’ll Say.
Remember “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.
