"I'm a grad student, and I'm in a PA program. I have one more year to go! I speak Korean, and I've spoke it all my life. I grew up in South Korea and I moved here when I was in high school. I moved here to study; I guess what I want to study is better here. It's less stressful, and there's no PA program in South Korea but they do have similar programs. I was taught reading and writing in Korea, and I feel that I've been very fortunate concerning the language barrier. I came here, made friends, and they've helped me a lot. They're not embarrassed by me, and I never felt embarrassed speaking the language so it was easier to learn it!" - Hojun
About Me
- Amanda
- I'm not doing this project to necessarily make new longterm friends, or go have a drink with these people. Nor is it to pass any judgements on ones life. My goal is to simply meet interesting, and maybe not so interesting strangers who I wouldve never taken the time to talk to otherwise. One that may differ, or perhaps relate to my own life. So many times, you walk past someone, and they wont even raise their head in the slightest to say hello. I'll never understand why. The challenge to myself is not only to surpass that simple hello with one person a day, but to convince them to look into my lens and tell me something about themselves. My name is Amanda Surkin, and this is my journey of meeting 100 new faces. Take the time to listen, you may learn something :)
