Bien D.C.

Passionate, Outgoing, Grateful
 

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
- Corinthians 13:4-7

BIOGRAPHY

Image by NordWood Themes
" Bien is a senior at Santa Clara High and a medical researcher at the Helms Laboratory. He is currently working on identifying the stem cell niche in self-regenerating mouse incisors in order to one day regrow vital organs.
 
While not at school or in the lab, you can find Bien at the pool. Being the captain of both water polo and swim, Bien loves to pass a ball around with teammates or chat with them as they gasp for air after a hard swim set.
 
In his free time, Bien enjoys reading books, with his favorites being: Gone With the Wind and East of Eden. And much to the dismay of his stomach, hanging out with friends at Taco Bell."
The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (49ers SLI) provides multi-year, year-round academic support, STEM enrichment, skills training, and leadership opportunities to students in middle and high school. Students, who are with the program for six years from 7th through 12th grade, commit annually to 300+ hours of program learning time in addition to their typical school hours. By cultivating student mastery in STEM subjects and in key skill areas, the program prepares students for college and empowers them to pursue their passions; so that they may become the well-rounded leaders of the future. The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute is made possible by the strong partnership between Silicon Valley Education Foundation, 49ers Foundation, Chevron, and the Santa Clara Unified School District.
