Just a shout out to Yul Kwon, the winner of "let's base the tribes on racial background" Survivor: Cook Island.
Yul won a million bucks and ooohs and aaahs from people around the world for his incredible mix of skills, cunning, alliance building, smarts, and strength.
"I wanted America to see Asian-American men as they truly are," said Kwon, on speaking about minorities on television. ... "I want to be a very visible spokesman for talking about how we can get more minorities on TV."
He received a Bachelor of Science from Stanford University and also attended officer candidates school for the U.S. Marine Corps. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor Degree from Yale Law School, where he served on the editorial board of the Yale Law Journal.
Kwon used the knowledge he built through his wide-ranging career while on the island: he's had experience in law, business and technology, including serving as a judicial clerk to a federal judge on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and legislative aide to Senator Joseph Lieberman in Washington, D.C.
Kwon's describes himself as idealistic, compassionate and ambitious. He became passionate about creating awareness for more minority bone marrow donors in the U.S. after launching a major search to find a match for his best friend who was diagnosed with leukemia, but ultimately succumbed to the disease.
Thanks Kwon!
