My Sweet Korean Friend-Sumi

Sumi is a very special Korean friend at UT. Didn't know her for too long, but felt already knew her for ages. Heard she is alreayd in Korea and teaching!!! I will definitely miss her warm smile ^^ What's so unusual about our friendship is that we both share the same passion to bring this wworld closer by connecting kids from around the world. This Spring, we had some kdis from Taiwan to do the culture exchange with Kids at Anderson High. Like Sumi's Korean kids, Taiwanese kids also have some concern about their English, but it turns out American kids here are so amazed by how good the Taiwanese kids' English is and by the Taiwanese culture they learned through the Taiwanese kids blogs. Just want to let Sumi's kids know, they should have confidence in their English. Afterall, nothing good will ever happen if you are afraid to try new things. Plus, Samsung has a huge plant here in Austin, it would really Americans in Austin to know more about wonderful things about Korean culture (even I can't wait to know more about Korean culture from Sumi's students ^^). Sincerely hope more Sumi's students can join us. It is going to be a fun project. You will be surprised how friendly and intelligent those Anderson High School students are ^^
