My name is Soyoung Kim and I am from South Korea

I came here almost  two years ago and also I will finish my AA degree next December.  I want to share my Riverland Community College experience with you.

How wonderful it is.  When I came here the first time I couldn’t speak English because it was hard to understand for me.  However, I wasn’t worried out it.  My advisor, Mel Morem, and my friends were helping me.  Right now I can speak and understand English very well.

Actually I applied to 5 community colleges in the United States, but I choose the Riverland.  Since I don’t like hot weather and I don’t want to stay in a big city where there are many Koreans in the town.  It was my hard challenge.  Can you imagine if you stay alone in a different country without any family and friends?  It would be hard but I choose most hard challenges in my life.  I am very proud of me
