Introduction: David Liauw

Hey everyone! My name is David Liauw. I turned seventeen right before the school year and am freshman. I have lived in four nations: Indonesia, Singapore, China, and the US (I was born in Los Angeles). Homeschooled from kindergarten to tenth grade, I then attended a private Christian school in Cary for the past two years. My life has definitely been an adventure. During my four year living in Indonesia as a young child, I witnessed the 1998 Jakarta riots where mobs would riot on the streets, loot Chinese stores, fight with the police, burn churches and even kill Christians. I remember standing in a balcony of my apartment and seeing riots burn down the mall right across the street. I also was sometimes unable to get back home from church due to riots on the street burning down churches and fighting police. That was certainly quite an experience.

On campus, I am currently involved in a campus ministry called Everynation. I love to read history books and the great classics of literature. I am especially excited about this class because I love books involving crime, detectives, and mysteries-especially Sherlock Holmes. I also am fascinated with politics and Christian apologetics. I have a fifteen year old brother who is also a freshman in UNC. (I know...he's definitely a genius.) I am commuting-my home is about ten minutes away from campus. We have a nice pool and tennis court. You all are definitely invited to come over for a swim. I am definitely looking forward to knowing you all more this semester.
