ps i think it is too short, if anyone else has any ideas on what i could elaborate or write more about pls say so. ( im REALLY REALLY REALLY interested in ga tech :) ) so yea thanks
due on tuesday
start going men
In the event that requires me to take a year off from school I choose to spend my time traveling South Korea. I choose to travel all around Korea to learn much of its culture and history that it left behind for the world to admire at. I would visit the duksoo palace (Lee dynasty palace, last dynasty in Korea) and memorial site of Korea's all-time national hero, my hero as well, Admiral Yi Sun Shin (equivalent to George Washington except defended Korea from foreign nation Japan). Not only do I wish to try some delicious food that is exclusive to only Korea like Sanche, but to experience snow for the first time of my life in Korea.
Also another reason I choose Korea to travel is to keep learning about my heritage that I know so little about.Although I was born in the United States of America and am a citizen, I'm a full blooded Korean also. Life was hard for me when I was young, not understanding english and going to American school when at that time my tongue spoke only Korean. I was soon forced to quickly adopt and adapt to the white man culture in order to be accepted by my peers and to suceed in the society I live in, however I couldn't celebrate my "achievement" because of my guilt for not embracing the culture that my parents instilled in me. What I hope to gain, aside from knowledge, is to redeem myself from my selfish act and to embrace my national heritage. By visiting this beautiful nation, I hope to enlighten myself of my culture's history and learn its trademark that it left for the world to respect. I hope to improve my linguistic knowledge as I travel on the soil of Korea so I can better communicate and understand my people's heritage, and I hope to make myself a better person and become a worthy representative of Korea in the United States of America.
