Tien runs everywhere he goes because he’s kicking his soccer ball everywhere he goes. Tien’s the best soccer play at Quantum Elementary and bounces, kicks, dribbles and head-butts his ball all the time—even on Mr. Rife’s fieldtrips. But Tien also has a crush on Mala, so when she’s watching he gets nervous and can’t kick at all. He always wears the white jersey of his favorite team—the Possibility Pirates. When he grows up, he’s going to win the World Cup. Right now he spends a lot of his free time imagining it in his mind. That’s his other hobby—meditating.
His World Abundance Project is to teach everyone in the world they are perfectly fine being the best they can be, and to accept others being their best. By studying world religions, he wants to create world-wide acceptance and encouragement of people’s diversity, yet celebration of their similar goal—to be their best selves.

Tien has a lot of self-confidence in both his physical abilities and mental capacity. He’s often one of the first to succeed at new things on Mr. Rife’s fieldtrips, but also always the first to help others succeed. He encourages others to accomplish their goals, and is very sincere in his friendships. Tien believes if we help others achieve our dreams, we will help each other change the world.
