(May 10, 2006) — Robotics member, straight A student, pianist…web designer? If you didn’t think it was possible, well, sophomore Angie Wang can do it all. A perfectionist since the fourth grade, Wang devotes her time to making her website the best it can be. However, her busy schedule barely leaves her any time to focus on her favorite hobby: web design. She first became interested in web design after attending the 2003 summer Anime expo at the Anaheim Convention Center. “I liked Anime even before it came to be such a fad,” Wang said. For her, Anime isn’t just about your usual Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh. “I fell in love with the plotlines and character development, and to some degree, the beautifully unproportional art. I think it’s a way for me to escape reality,” she said. It all started with a sudden inspiration to make an animation cel. She wanted to give others a chance to try cel painting. “I thought creating the animation cel was a lot of fun and ever since I’ve been obsessed with creating and perfecting my website,” Wang said, “but with school work you just don’t get very far.” Sometimes Wang stays up until 2 or 3 in the morning, normally on the weekends, working on her site after a long day of school and homework when she could be catching up on much needed sleep. “My parents say I spend way too much time on my site,” she said. After everything she still finds time to watch some of her favorite Anime episodes to help inspire new content for her website. Designing her website requires her to coordinate art and html coding. Wang loves to learn about coding; she looks at it as solving a problem. “Once you understand it, it becomes fun and a hobby,” Wang said. Wang plans to help fellow robotics member, junior Alec Ananian, work on improving the Robotics website for the 2006-2007 school year in hopes of winning the website award. Wang believes that students don’t take advantage of the activities available on the Internet. She believes that skills in web design can be beneficial for side jobs you might have in the future. “Some students just use the Internet to chat and email, but they should consider looking into the many opportunities provided to them online,” she said.
