A summer river being crossed

how pleasing

with sandals in my hands!

Light of the moon

Moves west, flowers' shadows

Creep eastward.

In the moonlight,

Seems far away.

Sookan was an Korean student who study aboard in US, compare then any other child in 1954, her life is much better then others, specially just after the Korea war, just like the flower out side around the picture, a whole new place to start a whole new life. But she is from the far east, which had a whole new culture that can not understand the US culture at all. She should face all the challenge on herself, and in that challenge she will suffer a lot in different way like home sick, culture different and long boring trip. Those difficult just like different pice of you life, it makes you upset and sad,just like the girl in the picture, but those emotion will makes you strong.

Sookan is a student comes from Korea, she studies in a collage in NY, her family is not as good as other rich family but they still decide to send their daughter to US.
After 31 hours flight she arrived in NY but she missed the school bus, what made her had to get to the school by her own. After that, she met her roomate Ellen, who is the first person That led her to understand the US culture. She had a lot of Korean thinkings, which were not suitable for the US society and Ellen’​s​ life taught her that the relationship was not as same as what her learned in Korea. The lower grader didn’​t​ have to show their respect to the orders, and that makes them also can become friends, she also learned that she can decide the marrige by her self just like her roomate, people can have boyfriend and girlfriends when their collage.
She is a brave intengent girl who did very well in the study and life. She study a lot of the hard cause and work every night in the shower room, and that makes her past out once. She also do a lot of part time work for her professor and others to earn the money for the books. She also take the cause which is too hard for a internal student, the history and the art. She had a good relationship with her teacher and professors.
She have some family problem which put a lot of pressure on her life. Her sister did not want her to study aboard at first and she also makes sookan to write her letter about her personal life, and told her that she should not decide her life by her own because she will decide for her. Those things makes sookan feel bad but her have to respect her sister. She always feel anger when she know what her sister thought but she also will feel guity after the anger.She also have got few letter for father lee or her younger brothers. Once she want to buy a present for her family but at last she only bought something for her self, that makes her feel guity. She also think her sister will be anger when she drink the wine.
She few bad when she mum pass away and that also make her strong. She did not recive the massage in time, which makes her can not go back to Korea. She feels that she should went back to Korea when she just know her mum got sick, but what makes her feel better is her mum mean to let her stay and she will have a better future then she go back to Korea. After she thought all the things thought and feel better she finally understand why she mother mean to do that. 

After all those thing sookan been though, she saw all the difficult in the collage life and have both prusser form the academy and family. She has been discriminate like what she heard in Marci’s family, she also makes mistake like working so hard to get sick, or using the money which should buy a gift for her family bought a dress, or drink wines. Everything is not a shame that will makes her have a bad college life, but makes her stronger and knowen right or wrong clearly. After all this she can decide her future by her self, not by her sister or the others. Although have all this unhappy thing and pressure going on, but after all this there are still flower out there, out side all the pressure and upset, there are still many beautiful things in US, and those letters came form Korea
