Dol
In Korea, your 1st birthday is very important.
It's called Dol.
There are many festivities, gift giving, families and friends that come to visit a kid on their 1st birthday!
Mine was in 1999, and it was pretty big!
There was a scary looking clown and everything... -
Seoul, South Korea
When I was 2 1/2, I visited South Korea for the first time.
It was very scary and the plane to get there was awful!
But overall the trip was really fun and I got to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. -
9/11
September 11th was when al-Qaeda sent a series of suicide attacks to the United States. The hijackers intentionally hit the Twin Towers in New York City with two airliners. This was a sad day for all of us. I actually got to visit the site where the Twin Towers used to stand. -
Verona!
In 2002, I moved from the Madison area to Verona.
I continued going to Preschool of the Arts until I started kindergarten at Stoner Prairie the following year. -
Suzuki
When I was 5, I joined the Suzuki Strings of Madison.
I had my first recital at this age, and I messed up a lot.
Many of my recitals didn't go very smoothly.. -
Perfect Attendance!
At the end of 1st grade, I got an award for perfect attendance.
It was my first award and I still have it to this day!
The following year I missed 2 days of school, because I was sick. -
First Powerpoint!
In 1st grade I made my first Powerpoint.
It was really low-key, and mediocre.. but it was worth a shot!
I can make a Powerpoint complete with information, slide transitions, pictures, and designs all in 30 minutes. -
Sarah Chang
When I was 8 I met the world famous violinist Sarah Chang.
She has always been a role model of mine, and she is insanely talented.
She said I was cute! -
Washington D.C!
In 2007, I went to Washington D.C!
I got to go to the White House, Capital, National Archives Building, Lincoln Memorial, National Landmarks, and stand in the exact middle of Washington D.C.
It was really fun! -
Freedom Trail
While I was in Bostin, Massachutsetts, I got to go on the Freedom Trail.
The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile red (or yellow) brick trail that leads you to 16 significant historic sites.
A lady dressed in colonial time clothing lead us around Boston, and pointed out hidden keys and codes! I also got to go to Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin's graves! -
Barack Obama
President Barack Obama was elected into presidency November 4th, 2008. He is our 44th President and first African American ever to hold office. -
College for Kids
In the summer of 2009, I was picked to attended College for Kids with Caleb Cain and Alex Pletta!
It was a great experience and I met a lot of friends I still talk to today.
I took Philosophy, Nanotech, and Stop-Motion Animation courses, one per week with Group 17.
We called ourselves the Chimichangas and we had a lot of fun learning. -
National Merit Scholar
In 2010, I was nominated by my language arts teacher, Ms. Schwenn, to a national yearbook. I was selected and I'm now a National Merit Scholar.
I'm really happy I was selected! -
Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras
I auditioned for WYSO in late May, for Sinfoinetta.
I also quit Suzuki to start WYSO, but it was all worth it because I'm the number 1 ranked girl in my orchestra.
I have so far performed in over 90 concerts. -
100,000 For Impeachment
On February 17, I went to the capital to protest against Governor Scott Walker's bill. I was one of the 100,000 people who went to the capital in the cold to fight for what we believe in.
