After all the reading. I think Sookan is a very brave girl, who is brave enough to study aboard in 1957, when Korean is not as open as today,but after all those things happened she make a great choice. But after all the challenge that her had, maybe is also happen on most of Asia student. When she choice to study aborad, there is no way back to the place where she live and study once before, and you only chance is doing weel in here which makes you will have a better future then others, but if you filed, no one will give you a second chance. So Sookan did want to catch this chance, she study so hard, to hard too rest, until her get silk. Those days Korean do not have a strange economic like today, which means only few people can send their child aboard, like today in North Korea, only Kim can go aboard. Those people are rich, but Sookan's family was not one of them, they are not rich enough to make this choice, I think her sister is kind of price to pay. Her sister is a non, which means she need to earn her own money for her life, and she aginest and care about sookan at the same time. As a sister she want sookan went to the way which her set up a good way, only in that time. But sookan learn most important thing in US, that was freedom. She had the freedom that make her own life, which maybe a way that her sister will never understand. She always feel bad because she may hurt her sister, but that never happened. She always know what is right to do and what is not have to do. The note is not important, the only thing important is her life, she need to understand the culture which is more then 8000KM away her home, she should use her simple English to study.She did a lot to finish what her study, take exam and the higher level class even to help other on the baby seting and the house care to earn the book. And during that time her never feel hopeless, her survive under both pressure form her family and the language, she did a lot try to become not special, and she also did a lot to remind who she is, what about her family. Lucky she have a good mother whihc understand the choice she made and proud of her. When I arrive in US, I feel there is so much things I need to do, but in here, we have the people who face the same problem, they can help us and we can help eachother, we are not alone here but sookan did, in NY.She is so brave that can make the decedent and so brave to stay in NY. As a Korean student she did more then she should do and finish those thing perfectly.
