JULIAN HUANG
Julian Huang is currently a Post-Secondary student at the LYNCS program of the Fremont Union High School District. He developed an interest for music since age one. After Julian was able to have a better attention span and sit longer than half an hour, he was introduced to the piano and cello at age 13. Since then, he practices his instruments daily and has not stopped even when he broke his wrist for a few months.
One of Julian's strengths is his visual learning skills. He is able to piece together puzzles before he could even speak. He joined the FCSN LEGO workshop since the beginning because his parents believe it’s a great fit for him to be a part of this community. They are glad he enjoys being a LEGO club team member. Julian also likes to workout at YMCA and rides his bike around different cities as well as taking public transportations to many places. He has memorized the map of Santa Clara county and often acts as a GPS for his parents.
Despite his social communication difficulties, Julian is a hard worker. Not only does he practice his instruments daily, but he is also an active volunteer in the community. He has been consistently helping in the local library once a week for over four years, as well as being involved in two senior centers and West Valley Community Center.
Julian’s personal goal is to become more independent in his future living, working, and traveling.
