miyon [pronounced Mee-Yon]

I figured it is time I should introduce myself. If you have been regularly checking this website, you would have noticed in the past week I have been covering this website with full of comments.

I also felt bad to have commented on others without having a proper introduction. If I threw you off in anyway, it is my apologies.

Here is a little pointer to what shapes me who I am:

When my mom was married to dad and lived with grandpa and uncles, I was born in a local hospital in South Korea. When my dad was delegated to Hong Kong for work, my parents started their new journey as a nuclear family. My brother and I moved with them to HK and stayed there for 3 years. After that we moved to Korea and Japan (several re-entries in between) and by the time I was 13 my brother and I were in New Zealand where we stayed for half a year. Our move was followed by 10 months in Korea and then we entered high school in the US. I currently attend University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and it has been a blessing to be with my half African American and half Korean roommate and their friends.

It was the feelings of disconnectedness and others’ misunderstandings that have driven me to search for meaning on the web. Through the TCK Facebook Group I was taken to this web forum. Reading the discussions of other TCKs and their personal stories ring to my heart and at times I wish I could run to them and hug them. I am grateful that we have an online TCK group like this, which will give further help to other TCKs that are yet to come in the ever-more globalized world.
