![]() ![]() When I did not have employment after graduating from college, I decided to take a chance and left Philadelphia to become a middle school teacher in Seoul, South Korea. I had previously volunteered at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) as a research intern in one of its outpatient psychiatry clinics. The enjoyment of tutoring others in ESL inspired me to pursue it as an interest, and I volunteered to teach ESL at the Nationalities Service Center on a number of occasions. Generally, I felt it weird that people could be so cold to one another, seeing as I was born in Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love.” In order to embody such sentiments, I had tattooed the phrase “Let’s LOVE each other” in English on my left arm and later mirrored the phrase in Korean on my right arm. ![]() Prior to the accident, I typically thought of myself as an effusive person who learned to, at times, keep his heartfelt sentiments in check. ![]()
