Dear Future Roommate,
I sing in the shower, I'm very cranky when I wake up, I have way too many pairs of sneakers, and I am exceptionally tidy. But we'll get used to each other's quirks. Right off, you should know that I am passionate about sports and exercise. I work out religiously, play basketball, and make sure I consume two hundred grams of protein everyday. Warning: the cottage cheese and hard-boiled eggs will smell. My rigorous training has helped me balance academics, volunteer work, and family time. I hope my fitness-oriented lifestyle does not intimidate you but rather encourages you to exercise, too.
I am an only child, and I will be the first in my family to receive a college education in the United States. Though I've been brought up in a very traditional Korean household, I have acclimated to American culture, and frankly, I believe I am more American than I am Korean. I prefer oatmeal and scrambled eggs to fried rice and kimchi. With my mother, I speak "Konglish," a combination of English and Korean; with my father and peers, I speak English only. I never limit myself to Korean friends, as I am friends with everyone at school.
I plan to major in neuroscience and then attend medical school, a dream of mine since the 5th grade. I take school very seriously, but I won't make our room a study hall. I can't wait to meet you. I hope we can eat healthy foods, be workout partners, and play pick up games of basketball. Words cannot describe how excited I am to venture into this new chapter of our lives at Stanford.
