I am not a local but international student from South Korea and I’m currently attending at South Seattle College. I didn’t have any vision or specific goal before I came here but getting AA degree to transfer to 4 years university. Since I spent more than a year in US I’ve seen a lot of people who are international students and there’s a several reasons why they decided to study abroad in foreign country.

I hung out with my friend, doing my hobby that I wasn’t able to do, involve in soccer club in school and do some school works that weren’t take too much. Of course it wasn’t always easy. As I knew I had to overcome the language barrier, bear the loneliness from being by myself in foreign country and adjusting in school.
