Foreword
I kissed my mother on the cheek and hugged her one last time before I left. After all, who knew how long it would be until I see my parents and my eonnis, again? Eonni. I would finally get to speak Korean. Although, the reason why I learned Korean is in my past, I worked really hard to do it. And not using my knowledge would be such a waste. Which is why I had to go.
"Llamame cuando llegues,"("Call me when you get there,") Ordered my mother.
"Si, claro. Te quiero mucho"("Yes, of course. Love you, lots") I replied
"Yo tambien" ("Me too") she added.
I hugged my siblings and my parents one more time before I go. My mother hugged me so tight, I could barely breathe. I felt tears building up, so I managed to leave before they came out. A female flight attendant led me to my seat. First class, I thought, how nice. It would be a good 14 hours until I get to Seoul. And I was already pretty bored. You're probably pretty bored with me too, huh? Well then, I guess I should explain what's going on. You see, I've been dreaming about going to Harvard University since I was nine, however I was punished for something I did in a past life and was rejected. But there are many other schools you could've gone to. Wrong. Harvard was the only school I applied to. Risky, I know. Now I know better. Anyways, after all my dreams came crashing down, opportunity knocked at my door. I was granted a scholarship to a university in Seoul. And that, is where i was headed.
