This is my story (마이 스토리) - Page 2

hello~
Where do you live~? I live in Irvine its in OC
and you came here really young but korean is still your first language right?

w00t another one of us!
the korean written on the thread totally caught my eye! i for a second thought i was on the wrong forums
안녕~ 난 너보다 쪼끔 형/오빠야... *for you non koreans- ("im a bit older than you")

you live in irvine eh? i lived in irvine for a bit when i went to UCI. you are still young, DREAM will come true for you. 나는 얼마 후 한국으로 돌아간단다. 군대가고, 그 다음에 뭐해먹고 살지는 아직 모르겠구나 ㅠ.ㅠ ("well im going to korea soon, i will join the army first, then i dont know what to do after that...")

열씸히 살고, 좋은 학교 가라~ ("work hard, and go to good school")

glad to have you here. I am Korean hyung/oppa living in ATL here. I've been living in US for 9 years now. Things are so rough now isnt it? Let's hope the dream act passes by next spring. Glad to have you here.

안녕하세요 저도 한국 사람이에요. 동남부 아틀란타에 살고 있구요 미국에서 산지는 한 9년 정도 되었네요. 저희 집은 사기 당했었는데 겨우 신분을 회복해서 전 학생비자로 있고 부모님은 E-2 비자로 있어서 그나마 조금 더 나은편이에요. 요즘 미국 사회 정말 먹고 살기 힘든데 그래도 포기하지말고 기다리면 좋은 소식있을겁니다. 저도 고등학교때는 차 없어서 열심히 일하고 돈벌어서 지금은 제차를 가지게 됐습니다.

그리고 윗분 ㅠㅠ 군대가신다니 참 안됐네요. 저도 이번에 dream 패스 안하면 그냥 한국나가서 군대 갈려고 생각중입니다. 휴... 왜이렇게 먹고 살기힘든지 참 ㅠㅠ

예 참 먹고살기 힘들죠... 경제만 이따위가 아니였어도 한국가는 일은 없었을텐데 경제적으로도 너무 쪼달리다보니 차라리 군대라도 가야겠다고 정하게 됐네요. 저희도 이민 사기때문에 불체신분이 돼어서 참... 인생이 원망스럽기도 하고... 아무튼 저는 안됐지만 님과 그 외 모든 드리머들은 꼭 좋은 결말이 오길 바라네요. 아 참고로 저도 86년생인데 우린 그냥 친구먹죠. 말 놓자 괜찮지?

와. 형님 안녕하세요^^~
만나서 반갑습니다 ㅜㅜ 한국으로 다시 드러가신가면 많이 깝깝하시겠어요 ㅜㅜ
저도 그런 상황이 될까바.. 두려움에 떠는중...

Carter86형님두 방갑습니다 ^^
저두 지금 어떻게 해야할지... 정말 ... 답답해 죽겠어요 ㅜㅜ

Pretty much. At home we only speak Korean though. Still, I'm horrible at spelling in Korean. I'm from Korea Town, LA by the way

Wow I didn't know there were so many Koreans in this forum. 느낌이 좋아!!

I'm so lost....


But anyway, your story is very interesting. You should so write a book. Haha
Welcome to DAP.

hello fellow koreans... i was born on 86 also and came to the states when i was around 3, now im 23 so its been 20 years already.. time flies... i could type a little korean but not that good so im just gona type in english.. welcome and good luck to you all.. lets not lose hope! of course its easier to say things like this.. cuz i too feel it everyday.. all the disadvantages and worries i have everyday.... i try not to get to me but it is very hard.. i understand.. my friends duno how privileged they are... they just dont understand.. but im glad that i have other brothers that are in the same position as i am.... i am also from koreatown la by the way.. maybe we crossed path one time or another hahaha... 파이팅! 아자! 아자! puhaha

Yeah I understand. A lot of my "K-Towner" friends waste their lives or already wasted it in high school. When I'd hang out with them, I'd always feel bad inside and knew I could do better even with my disadvantage. Let's just keep working hard. They say it takes hardship to build one's character and to rise to the top!

By the way, I'm in Boston right now for school. I'm going back to K-Town in the fall to see my parents, eat some actually good Korean food, and then fly to Washington to get a license. Maybe we did pass by each other. :P Maybe give me some hints about yourself but not too much so that people can't explicitly identify you? I'm sure we have mutual friends. Everyone in Korea Town knows everyone else (to some extent).
