Dear Sarah,

I have great empathy, for your experience. I came to the United States, from Germany, in 1954. I wasn't quite four years old. Around age seven, I started to become aware, I wasn't welcome, by many, account of my national origin. It was a tough reality for a child, and is probably responsible, for my current Avoidant Personality Disorder.

Regardless, I embrace my German heritage. I recommend, you embrace your Korean heritage. Study the language, the culture and the history. I studied German in high school, and have learned much about Germany indirectly, by virtue of my science and engineering studies.

You have my support,

Larry
