Starting my life off in a good way; not too many young adults can say they lived in Korea for a year or have seen half the U.S. and been to a different country by the age of 23, so I'm proud to accomplish what I truly want - to see the world before my time is up. Who are your role models? George Lopez, John Wooden, and most of all my mother and father.
