Opening unique presents

It has been a couple months now since I returned from Korea with a group of 18 undergrad students.  This week I am grading papers students wrote about some aspect of that experience.  It is like Christmas.  Each paper is a presents - insight into how expereinces in Korea, the country of my childhood (and yet a very differrent place now) have provoked thought and changed lives.  As I obtain permission from the authors, I will post a few of the papers here.  The topics and perspectives are quite different from one student to another.  It is interesting to see what touched each one, and how they incorporated the experiences in Korea into their own lives.  Each time I return to Korea my own life is enriched as I make new friends, visit old friends, re-connect with people I have not seen for many years, and learn more about Korea and about myself.  These papers bring a freshness to my own experiences.  Enjoy.
