Why are you drawn to the academic fields you indicated in the Anticipated Degree and Academic Interest questions above? (limit: 1000 characters)
Ms. Lim called the twenty-six letters she wrote on the blackboard, the "English Alphabet." They looked strangely beautiful to the third grader's eyes. Six years later, those eyes sparkled with curiosity again, when they saw a poster of neatly written Hiragana, or the Japanese Alphabet, on the classroom wall. However, both times were only beginnings to the long journey that would still continue today.
Learning English and Japanese on top of my mother tongue, Korean, introduced me to the immeasurable depth of every language in encompassing culture and history. But as I delve further into these languages, I am even more fascinated by their universal nature of being able to communicate human emotions and thoughts through literature. I hope studying comparative literature and translation in college will bring me closer to understanding the human race, across time periods, languages, and national boundaries.
