Lol. I came back to this link randomly today. I'm doing great, living in Korea. I went back to school and graduated from Yonsei with a Master's in speech-language pathology early this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510096014706554177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9424060.post-419719768059927812021-09-04T07:33:18.767-05:002021-09-04T07:33:18.767-05:00No, I haven't heard anything from Alyssa.

I was very impressed with your speech,...Hi, Alyssa. I was very impressed with your speech, and when I read that you knew you wanted to go to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa, even while still in high school, it reminded me of myself in a way.<br /><br />Though I did not decide to go to UH until after I had spent four years in the navy, UH was really the only school to which I wanted to go because it was one of the only schools, or maybe the only school, in the US at the time that offered a Bachelor's degree in Korean Language & Literature. Actually their BA degree was in a kind of development stage, pieced together under the title of "Liberal Studies." My degree, for example, reads "Liberal Studies (Korean Language and Literature). When I graduated in 1982, I was told I was the first to get such a degree at UH.<br /><br />I am glad to hear that you are on the verge of achieving the kind of career you have been dreaming about for many years. I used to have a very similar dream, so I think I have a little understanding of the excitement you must be feeling. I wish you the best of luck, and you can always contact me at the email address in my profile.

I have indeed graduated, but I have since moved back to the States from Korea and am possibly about to make it big as a translation contractor for a Fortune 500 company. I'm interested in connecting with you.Thanksforthathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16812643712016059404noreply@blogger.com
