Hi! I'm Ava, and I just turned 18. I'm Korean-American, but I was born in America. My parents are from Korea, though, and they wanted me to learn about my heritage and culture. So they sent me to a Korean language school during the summer when I was younger. I had such an amazing time there that I decided to study abroad in Korea for a semester when I turned 18. It was definitely a culture shock at first, but I fell in love with the country and its people. Now I'm back in America, but I still keep in touch with my Korean friends and try to visit whenever I can.
As for this picture, it was taken during one of our group trips to the park. We were all having so much fun splashing around in the pool that we decided to take some fun pictures together. That's how we ended up with this one! It's definitely one of my favorites from that trip.
