Richard and Eric Dong, 17-year-old and 15-year-old residents of Arcadia and students of San Marino High School, learned early on that one’s life on earth should be spent in pursuit of meaningful endeavors.

And if that weren’t enough, Richard’s and Eric’s extensive resume also includes being the youngest founding members of the US-China Committee, the young Ambassador, International Leadership Foundation; and the youngest members of the Leadership Council, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. Additionally, Richard is the youngest member of Harvard 1879 Society.

Listening to Richard and Eric play the piano takes one soaring with the angels; hearing them enthuse about their plans for the future makes one reach for the stars.  The emotions they spark in everyone are profound.

If they pursue their dreams with the same enthusiasm and vigor they demonstrate when they play the piano and articulate those aspirations, we all would be the lucky beneficiaries because the world would be a far better place.
