Memoir 2nd draft

In the Forest of Canada Visiting my grandparents who immigrated to Montreal, Canada, I was given chances to explore countless charms that this amazing country had to offer. I remember, in the summer, 2013, my sister and I were sent off to a camp with a card named Young Passenger Traveling Alone (YPTA) against our will. Being terrified by the idea of spending an entire month away from my beloved family and without all the things that sustained my quality life, I remember imploring my parents not to send me there up until the very moment I was cold-heartedly dropped off at the campsite. I remember I was frightened at the new environment.

Not to be seen nor to be treated like a wimpy little weakling by my younger sister who faced the same fate, I told myself to toughen up, wake up, and be a bi

About Me

I am Seoyeon Kim, also known as Summer. My name, Summer, is the first English name I got since I was born. I think my name is quite unique and it represents me the best, so I included this name in my blog title, too. The name Summer Passion  simply means passion of mine. I also think Summer is the most passionate season of the year, since the sun is the hottest, the plants are the greenest, and people come out and enjoy the weather in Summer. I hope to live a passionate life like Summer , and live doing what I enjoy. Although I am an international student, I had, and also have quite a difficult time on English since I have never lived abroad. I was completely a Korean student, and I never have thought of going abroad at all, never before I came to KMLA. Even though it is uncomfortable for me to speak and write in English, I look forward to the oversea life and also want to grow my English skills before in KMLA. I have two siblings, one 2 years younger than me, and the other 11 y
