Personal Introduction
My name is David Qiu and I'm from Toronto, Canada. One of the goals in life is to become a teacher back in Canada and really make a difference in students' lives through interactions in the classroom. In my spare time, I love to do popping which is a form of street dance, practice martial arts and swim.
