What BQO alumni say

Richard Chiang, Chapter President, interviews former Chapter President Esther Moy. Esther graduated from U.C., Berkeley Esther is currently a 4th year medical student at Oregon Health and Science University. She will graduate in June 2008 and apply for an ob/gyn residency.

Richard: Why did you participate in Beta Theta Omicron?
Esther: I participated with BQO because I was a founding member, and because I loved being able to support and connect with others who were dedicated to both academics and volunteering. I met some of my closest friends during that time, and developed many leadership and communication skills that I use today.

Richard: Do you think the experience of FQK helped you transferring?
Esther: I believe FQKinvolvement did help me with my transfer, but I'm glad I didn't do it just for that. I haven't had time to volunteer half as much as I did back then, and I really miss it.

Richard: What did you gain through your experience as an officer of Beta Theta Omicron Chapter?
Esther: Being an officer was amazing. I love team work and team building, I love working with people of different strengths and forming a strong team to get things done. I love making a difference. I gained a confidence in myself and developed my people skills. I got to do quite a bit of public speaking and became very comfortable with it. I learned that you should always ask, because the worst they can say is 'no'.

Richard: What has Beta Theta Omicron meant to you?
Esther: BQO was my special group. I got to know and work with people and students I'd never have dreamed of being able to work with. I got to interact with kids and groups in the community I would never have otherwise. I had so much fun serving people.
