And that's about it...oh! My parents have been neglected...I'll bore you just a little longer with them.

My mom and dad are both from Korea...they got here in the 70's. I was born about three years after they got here. To put it frankly, they are the ones who have made me who I am (with God, of course!). They've given me the support, encouragement, occasional discpline (OK...maybe a little more than occasional...you know me), and direction that has brought me here. They've given me all they ever had, and more. Countless sacrifices, tears, and just plain love has been given by them...I owe it all to them. They've always tried to keep me humble ('tried' to) and close to God...and it's been an inspiration. They've been my brother and sister...and cousin and aunt and...you get the point. It's beyond words.

So that's what there is to know about me in a nutshell...But there's one thing that I think I should say before anything else...

I have been blessed with so many things...I don't even know why. I'm just your normal kid, doing normal things, but God has given me the opportunity to be able to experience music, athletics, and many more things that others don't get to see or feel. He's blessed me with great people to associate with, great friends, teachers, parents, neighbors, everything. Everything that I do, which others may think is impressive, is really not in the eyes of God. He's the one behind everything, I couldn't do anything if it weren't for Him. Nothing I have done, I mean NOTHING was done by me alone. You hear it a lot, but right here it's true. I'm at U of M, which many might not even have the money to go to, where I can witness to so many people, and get a good education. I've got friends who are just so understanding, caring, kind, and talented, every single one of them. They put up with my stupid sayings, jokes, and just me...like that song says, "I could not ask for more." I can't even express what my friends mean to me...I mean, being an only child, you guys are my only companions, and you've made it a great 24 years...even though I might lose touch sometimes, or just don't seem nice, just bear with me, you guys all hold a special place in my heart. Just remember to keep God first!

My parents have made me who I am, and so have my teachers. I wonder why I've been blessed like this, but I guess the only thing I can do is enjoy it, and try to give back to God and to those that are around me. And I'm trying...
