My daughter, Elisabeth competed in the “National Association for Korean Schools Mid-Atlantic Chapter” Speech Contest on April 20th, 2013 in Philadelphia. 

The contest is to write an original speech about one’s dream in life, memorize and deliver the speech in Korean.  This is something which I have not been able to do as a child. 

Not only did she compete in it, she placed “Gold”- First Prize! I am so proud of her.  Here is her speech in English.

Dancing is my life. I really don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t dance. I compare dancing to walking on a path. As every year passes I think I’ve walked a mile.

My dancing career started at the local YMCA when I was just three years old.  After one year, I moved to a more advanced school called Kathleen A. Magyar.  Presently, I dance at the Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley where I dance ballet (pointe) and jazz.
