Sophia Park Mr.Rad 5A October 23, 2012

My name is Sophia Park. I was born in Osaka, Japan in Kosaka hospital. I was born on April 2nd, 2002. I went back to Korea with my mom in May, 2002. My mom’s name is Kathy Koo. She was also born in Japan. My mom and I migrated to Korea because dad, who is Junho Park, was waiting to see me in Korea. My mom was born in the year 1975 on September 6th. She is very safe, caring, compassionate, principled, a risk taker and a great communicator. She has short, black, curly hair, and she is taller than average, but she is kind of chubby. Her nose is not very high, and she has brownish skin because she likes sunshine. She owns a big smile almost every second! Unfortunately, her back is very weak so she often gets hurt. I can describe my type in one word - Coward. I am a big coward. I am so scared that I will cause myself to trip. That is myself, and I cannot eat spicy things; such as kimchi. My dad is waiting for me in Korea, with a strong heart. He made me strong, he gave me strength. That is my Dad. In that time, I didn’t have any siblings but now, I have a younger brother called Sammy and a younger sister called Chelsea. We migrated to Korea again, because Dad was waiting for us. We migrated from Japan, to Korea. In Japan, it was nice and hot, but after going to Korea, the temperature got colder, so my mom and dad were busy buying me warm clothes. We brought all our stuff from Japan in our suitcases. It wasn’t that much stuff because all our belongings were in Korea, with Dad. We migrated by choice, which means that we went to Korea because we wanted to. We were not forced. I didn’t have any feelings, because I was only 1 month old when I migrated. My mom said that it was hard to take me around in the airport, because I was noisy and too heavy for her to carry me. My mom came to Korea by herself to get married in Korea. In the year of 2001. Then Mom came back to Japan to give me birth in the year of 2002. Then finally, I was born in Japan at Kosaka Hospital. After I was born, and 1 month passed, we migrated to Korea to meet my dad. We lived for three months in Korea. Then all three of us, dad, mom and me, came to Japan to meet grandma and grandpa and also to get my permanent residence. My connection between Japan and Korea, is that Korea got much colder. And also, the migration provided a better life, because our dad was waiting in Korea to see me. Our dad is awesome. He works very hard, and plays with us, and he is also, a strong, principled man.
