Dear Mr. Freeman, the Freeman Foundation, Mr. Duke Chung, the Kook Min Hur Foundation, and Mr. J. Whitlow,
Thank you so much for providing students like myself with an opportunity to study abroad through your generous scholarship. Throughout high school, I have been fortunate to do multiple homestays in Japan and tour Asia, and I have developed a love for traveling and exploring new places. When I began college, I joined the International Business Organization (IBO), and I listened to a handful of student study abroad experiences, which further inspired me to go on an international exchange to South Korea. Because of your generous scholarship, I will be able to pursue my dream of studying abroad. Fast forward nearly two years, and I am in preparation for my time at Seoul National University in the Fall. I am looking forward to making new connections abroad and immersing myself in the Korean culture. I am also excited to witness my first season change, eat authentic bi bim bap, and explore the city! I am hoping that COVID restrictions are lifted, so I can safely travel to neighboring countries. I am so fortunate to be studying abroad, and I hope that upon my return, I will be able to inspire other Shidler students to go on an international exchange. Thank you again for your generosity and encouraging students to build a bond with Asia. Thank you, Sydni Kim
