The Scoop On: Bill Luo

 

The scoop on freshman Bill Luo, a government major in the Honors College.

What was your favorite movie this summer?
It has to be “Horrible Bosses.” I work as a waiter, and I have a boss who is a hassle to work with. It was nice to see that on screen.

What was the most exciting part of your summer?
SOAR was probably the best part of my summer. I had been working all summer. When I came to SOAR, I met a lot of people and got an idea of the direction I wanted to go.

Who plays the most important role in your life?
My dad is my role model. He was b

asically a country boy in China, and I am part of the first generation in my family to come to America. My dad brought me all the way here, and I really admire his ambition. I respect him a lot.

Why have you chosen government as your major, and what led you to it?
I like politics and being able to travel around the world. I want to grow in politics and be able to visit different areas of the world to study their governments. You have a lot of room to change and become more open to things when you see the world through different perspectives.

What brought you to the University?
My mom wanted me to be closer to Houston and have me in a smaller college. I also recieved a lot of scholarships for my academics. Also, the people here are so welcoming.
