ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Jen (슬기, or Seulgi) and I am a Korean American from NJ who will be living in South Korea for a year to serve as an English Teaching Assistant (ETA) through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. I created this blog as a way to document my experience and to challenge myself to stay connected with my family, friends, and church community while I am abroad. I pray that you may be blessed by reading this blog, whether it's in the form of encouragement through how God speaks to me, laughter as I share anecdotes of silly mistakes I'll make, growing in knowledge and appreciation of Korean history and culture alongside of me, being challenged to make a big decision in your life, or however else this blog may speak to you.
