I am a second generation Vietnamese-American who fell in love with South Korea in the beginning of my middle school days. I fell head over heels, so much that I taught myself how to read and write Korean at that age. I am transferring to UC Riverside in the Fall 2012, majoring in International Studies. My dream is to be an English teacher in South Korea. However, I struggle everyday to make this dream come true since I am the oldest child in my traditional and conservative family. Nevertheless, I will continue to pursue my passion and I hope to inspire others who are in similar situations to follow their hearts too.
