“My ethnic background is Korean. Both of my parents are from Korea and immigrated
to the United States. My hometown is Rutherford, New Jersey but I also spent about
a decade in Washington. I consider New Jersey my home state because that’s where I
spent my teen years. While I’ve been here, I’ve enjoyed learning more about history
and teaching. I kind of want to go into teaching now. My favorite class has probably
been World Systems. It basically consisted of going over political and economic systems
from the 15th century to the present day. We covered the French and American Revolutions,
the Enlightenment and the Military Revolution. The class focused on how governments
and economies ran during those eras.”
