This is my story (마이 스토리)

To start i wanna tell my readers its gonna be kinda long...
Im 18 and a Korean FOB(Fresh Of the Boat) and just graduated high school and living in Irvine.
well then here goes my story.

I was born and raised in Korea and after going to kindergarder(?) there my family decided to move to Peru (dunno y) and after about a year to Mexico..
In Mexico I first went to elementary school and was really scared everyone look very different to want my family and me looked like. and 6years later I graduated and moved to America. I was 11 and when I just got to adapt to the Mexican elementary, I had to go to a completely new American Junior high. I met new friends and got better at my first language (korean) and for speaking it too much I forgot most of the spanish. After a couple years, I slowly got used to the American lifestyle and graduated junior high.

My life started to complicate from then on.
In High School I saw my old friends and made new friends Koreans, Whites, African American friends, and even Hispanic friends. I was a freshman in high school and at the end of every school day, I had so much envy on the upper classmen that came to school in their own CAR! can you believe it!? their own car!!... from that day on I dreamed of the day in which I drove my car to school and my under classmen envied me

However this dream would completely break apart when I asked my parents about getting my drivers license when I got older just like the others...
I did not understand why they evaded my questions or why they didnt answer them... I turned 16 and was ready to get my licence... that night I understood why I couldn't get it.. Me, my family everyone was undocumented
and after feeling terrible for some time I put up to it. My senior year was the worst of the 4years of high school. Many friends drove their cars and even juniors drove... After the first semester I got used to it and decided to live my life just like it is now. I graduated high school with a 3.2 and now I really feel alone...
It was hard to live as a undocumented person and it still is.. specially here in Irvine less and less people want to hire undocumented people and applying for college is not that easy when my family need more money to live. Now I look for jobs and try to get a certificate for teaching the TOEFL (Its like a Korean SAT) so if anything happened I had something to work in korea.

Well thats my story
