Seth Wong

Hi, my name is Seth Wong, I grew up in Kuala Lumpur until I was nine. My family moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand, to eventually start a foundation housing impoverished cancer patients seeking treatment in the local government hospitals. I lived there until I graduated high school, choosing to pursue my undergraduate degree in Minnesota, U.S.A., where I obtained a double degree in Business Administration and Biblical Studies. I had a rich experience working a variety of jobs and meeting many friends, but I suffered from depression during my senior year of university as written in this story. After barely graduating and working for a year, I moved back to Thailand where I worked in my parents’ foundation. I spent four years intentionally slowing my life down, choosing to focus on my inner life and self-discovery in the hopes of understanding the turmoil that was my mental health. Working with cancer patients and refugees also allowed me to realize that I wanted to assist people with their mental health. I am now pursuing my Masters in Counseling at HELP University to equip myself to help others. Thank you for taking the time to read my story!
