When
a 13 year old Korean girl started her first day at Kilo Middle School, all she
was learned to say were “Hi,” “Bye,” “Thank you,” “Yes,” and “No.” This little
girl’s name was Hansol. She and her family flew to Seattle in pursuit of better
education from South Korea. But after few months of living in the rain, her
family decided to move to Los Angeles where the most businesses are. Hansol had
a hard time adapting to a new school because she missed her old friends in
Seattle. After another couple months, her family found a new business in small
town called Apple Valley. Hansol wasn’t too happy with the fact that she needs
to transfer her school once again. But despite her worries, she met great
friends in Granite Hills High School. Hanging out with her friends, she became
more enthusiastic about her career goal and future. She started to look for
volunteer opportunities and got her first job in small acupuncture clinic.
Because she wanted to become a doctor since she was in 4th grade in
elementary school, she loved helping out. Hansol decided to join in the Army
reserves to take another step towards becoming an army doctor. It sure wasn’t
easy for this little girl to get through Army trainings but because she loved
her green uniform, she was able to cheer up and accomplish her mission.
Although monthly trainings are tiring, she is determined to become a soldier
who is ready to help others.
Hansol
goes by Hannah since her name sounds like a guy from a childhood story, Hansel.
Hannah loves playing ultimate Frisbee and water sports in her down time. She is
a Christian and eldest among her siblings. She seems shy but once you get her
to talk, she can be pretty funny. At least she thinks. Hannah also likes to
listen to so-called, hood music. So if you know any good songs with good beats, let her know ;)
