I'm 21 years old and about to enter the last year of school at Maryville College in East Tennessee, and I can't say how eager I am to finally participate in the academic overseas experience for myself. I have begun my journey abroad since the end of August, in South Korea, after nearly seven consecutive years of staying in the U.S.
My ethnic origin is Persian, and I lived in Iran since I was eight, until the first year of high school. My experiences with a completely different culture have been both rewarding and challenging, but my heart tells me to continue the global integration. I believe in the interconnectedness of humanity, and diversity is only a part of the complex web of life. All peoples in this world can be empowered to unite and improve the human condition if there is the willingness to learn, understand, and a sincere desire to benefit each other.
I hope this account will provide hopefully interesting and useful information for those who are curious and/or interested in Korea as well.
