Daily Life& Family Life
She thinks being a
multicultural child gives her advantages of experiencing diverse thoughts. She
went to an international school all her life and didn't experience any
discrimination. In the mid-west art of the US(where her college is located), she
has seen discrimination but has not been a victim.
Her father moved
from Korea to Indonesia for business and her mom helped him out with settling
in Jakarta and his business. So they met through work. Her parents value her
education very highly so they're willing to pay for a tutor if she needs. But
they don't push me as hard as other Korean or Chinese parents. They both work
so they don't watch over her studying or anything but they do expect her to try
her best to get the best grades. She loves her family life and very grateful
for it. I feel extremely lucky to have her parents and siblings and to have
grown up the way she did.
To the question
saying, if the regulation for international marriage is well-prepared, she
thinks regulations are not necessary because people are free to marry whoever
they want.
Life in
Society
She hasn’t been
through any discrimination against her. And she doesn’t care about the society’s
attention towards her because introducing herself and getting to know others is
always a pleasure. Q. What would be the reason for this(excessive attention)?
Institutional
Support(welfare system)
She hasn’t suffered
from inconvenience in a public institution/public places but when she went to
school at KU, she felt her diversity was lessened because she went from
cultural diversity to a very strong Korean culture that everyone adored.
Multicultural Community
She doesn’t have
any contact with multicultural family.
