My name is Sarah and I am 13 years old.  Right now I live in Poquoson, Virginia.   My dad is active duty military.  I have lived all around the world including Japan, Florida, Maryland, Texas, and Montana, and I have visited China, Singapore, Australia, Canada, and many different states.

 I entered my essay into this contest because I had to write an essay either about Korea or India for school.  My friend and I decided to write about Korea since one of our best friends is from Korea.  Our teacher gave us the rules and encouraged us to enter into the contest. 

From writing this essay, I learned that I didn’t just teach Jimin, but she also taught me.  Jimin has also helped me to explore the culture and language of another country.

One of my goals in the future is to get into the Air Force Academy in Colorado.  I also want to write and play the flute more.

Some of my hobbies are sports, especially soccer, Girl Scouts, reading, writing, and playing my flute.  Like most American girls, I also like to watch movies, hang out with my friends, and listen to my CDs or the radio.

My personal heroes are my parents because they love me and help me when I need it.  They also have helped me to travel the world and I have realized that the Earth is a big place and it isn’t all about me.
