I do not believe my transcript is an accurate reflection of my academic abilities. Sure, I have a few more credits of classes more than other people and I will have even more when I take an additional 5-6 classes extra in addition to the classes I am taking at school next year, but that does not reflect my academic abilities. Personally, I think there was many things that hindered my academic abilities. First, in my freshmen year, my father had lost his job. Considering how he was the only member in the house that has a stable income, we had to cut down on many things. During this time, my family was stressed on what we were going to do. During this time, we were thinking of selling the house that we settled at for 7 years and move back into an apartment. Even during this time, we were having a tough time so we even decided on moving away to some state in the South or even back to Korea. Since my family and I are living in America as an permanent resident, my father told us that if he does not find a job soon, we would be forced to leave the country as well. Soon after, my father found a new job. It was a contract job, so we knew it would not last long. Then into my sophomore year, my uncle, aunt, and 2 cousins came to my house to live with us for a little bit after staying at Georgia for a bit after coming from Korea. During this time, my uncle said that he wanted to start a sushi business and said that he will try his best in it. So my dad borrowed $10,000 …show more content…
In my life, the beginning of how I came to America seems to be quite interesting. When I first came to America, it was past my 100 days anniversary which is often celebrated in Korea. I was about 4 months old. I came to America with my mother and brother to live with my father that is studying in America. When we first came to America, we did some touring in Canada and New York. After, we moved around a lot and ended up living in Connecticut. I first lived at my Great Aunt’s house for a bit and then moved to another Great Aunt’s house because of some circumstances. Then for some reason we ended up living in the basement of my father’s friend’s house. The children of my father’s friend was quite mean and often bullied us, but we had to power through all that since that was the only place we could live at. At that time, we were very poor that we did not even have the proper utensils and materials for food (bowls, plates, spoon, forks, etc…). After all that hardship, my father graduated college and we came to Rhode Island in 2001. Once in Rhode Island, my father got a job from someone he knew and became successful. Since then, I have also lived an easier
