I AM KOREAN AMERICAN

Own Words

I’m pretty much just your average Korean American. I’m one of the nicest, modest, caring, and funniest people you’ll ever meet.

When I was growing up, I was never really proud of being Korean. I was always embarrassed by it. Growing up in an all white town was tough, and after people got used to my diversity, I was accepted. However, I never really thought of myself as “Asian” until college.

So far, college has been an experience for me. It’s allowed me to stay true to myself and embrace my Korean side. I love being at college. I love studying psychology. It’s just so fascinating and I hope to one day maybe be a psychologist. I love helping people with their problems and it’s my dream. I also met a fellow Korean at my school and I just became so fascinated with my ethnicity.

So the following summer I ended up going to South Korea for about a month. I was able to see my Korean family for the first time since I was 2 and it was really nice. I’m just so proud to be Korean and I hope to one day to live in Korea. It was a life changing experience for me and I’m glad it happened.

In my spare time I enjoy writing and listening to music. In high school I was always known for writing and being the “band kid.” I’m still a “band kid” at heart even though I retired my instruments a couple of years ago. Music will always be a part of my life and so will writing, it’s my outlet in this world. It’s how I’m able to let my emotions and thoughts out without being judged.

I have no idea what I am religiously. I believe in God, but lately I’ve been really interested in Buddhism.

All my life I’ve never really known what it is I’ve wanted to do to or where I’m suppose to be. I kind of have no idea still. Yeah, I’m in love with psychology but sometimes I’m still unsure of what I want to do with my life. I know one day I’ll figure it out, but I’m just one of the clueless fools in this world that has no idea what to do. I just want to do something I love, and make my mom proud.

Anything else you’d like to know just ask me.
