Sy faced numerous challenges while growing up, which forced him to mature earlier than most of his peers. Stability was not always guaranteed, and there were times when he had to navigate difficulties on his own with limited support. Despite these obstacles, Sy is a determined young man pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. His passion for engineering was inspired by the time he spent working on cars with his grandfather, whom he affectionately calls “Papa.” This experience instilled in him a deep respect for hard work. Sy has also overcome significant personal challenges, including childhood obesity. Through relentless dedication, he transformed his lifestyle and became a strong and athletic young man. In his rare moments of free time, Sy enjoys working out, shooting hoops, making music on his computer, and playing video games.
