Description
Gaston speaks with Eun Grace Kim, Bilingual Facilitator, AACPS about growing up in South Korea and the differences of life there compared to America.
A
B
Came
from
South,
Korea
and
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Seoul
South
Korea
South
Korea
is
a
peninsula
in
Asia,
East
Asia
and
it
borders
now
to
North,
Korea
and
China
and
Russia,
and
it
is
around
the
size
of
Minnesota
and
we
so
we
have
four
beautiful
seasons
spring
summer
fall
winter,
especially
during
the
off
for
spring.
We
have
a
beautiful
blue
skies
and
beautiful
cloud,
so
sometimes
I
missed
it.
B
B
B
To
public
elementary
school
and
a
private
middle
school
high
school,
but
however
private
school
are
compared
to
today
in
American.
Educational
system
is
very
different
than
in
better
time
in
South
Korea.
So
under
educational
system
before
I
attended
middle
school
high
school,
it
was
like
everyone
would
try
to
apply
for
admission
for
most
to
elite
private
school,
so
South
Korean.
Third,
it
was
called
it.
It
was
so
not
fair
to
every
student
also
it
was
favored
to
Western
or
so,
whose
family
has
a
connection
to
something
below
it.
B
Connection
to
Mercy
background,
so
South
Korean
thought
they
needed
to
change
the
educational
system,
so
they
put
all
the
system
in
a
largely
system
so
for
middle
school
high
school,
with
a
private
and
public
school
they
put
in
the
lateral
resistor,
so
they
would
be
assigned
to
a
private
school
and
public
school
by
the
by
chance.
So
it
could
be
a
private
school
run
by
the
South
Korean
government
and
it
could
be
a
public
school
run
by
it
could
be
private
school
run
by
the
private
system.
B
B
C
B
B
A
How
we
do
here
in
middle
school
and
high
school,
so
we
offer
elective
classes
or
curses
for
other
languages
like
French
Korean,
you
know
korean
now.
I
would
like
for
you
to
tell
me
about
your
school.
You
said
you
mentioned
elementary
school
middle
school
and
in
high
school,
correct,
mm-hmm,
and
how
many
years
are
for
each
grade
level.
Mm-Hmm.
B
Studied
education
and
I
attended
one
of
our
big
University
in
South
Korea
and
it
is
Department
of
Education,
so
I
had
teachers,
internship
and
the
senior
year
at
my
college
and
also
when
I
graduated
I
got
teachers
certificate
for
middle
school
high
school,
which
is
a
secondary
school.
So
I
was
high
school
teacher
in
all
almonds.
A
A
B
When
I
was
growing
up
and
back
the
time
which
he
made
over
20
centuries,
South
Korea
was
poor
country,
and
so
he
was
not
really
traveled
around
or
fidgets
are
your
relative
friends
in
other
country.
But,
however,
some
of
the
Koreans
to
learn
I
came
to
United
State
for
studying
for
advanced
degree
or
just
fewer
number
of
Korean.
B
South
Koreans
are
able
to
visit
their
family
members
so,
which
was
my
mom,
was
very
lucky
in
1985
she
visited
my
uncle
who
affected
time
who
lived
in
Montgomery
County
Maryland,
so
she,
after
she
visited
our
United
States
and
she
talked
about
how
America's
educational
system
and
also
equal
opportunity
and
all
possibilities.
So
she
was
the
one
kind
of
motivated
me
to
go
to
United
State
all
right
when.
B
B
B
A
B
Work
at
another
County
as
a
parent
or
facilitator,
and
our
public
school
system
and
I
do
many
things
for
our
community
and
our
Korean,
our
families
and
students.
So
as
a
pairing
of
facilitator,
I
promote
our
immigrant
and
especially
language
barriers,
family
or
so
someone
who
now
able
to
access
to
all
the
resources
and
all
good
information
in
our
school
system.
So
I
tried
to
connect
the
school
students
family
to
connect,
so
they
can
access
the
all
resource
with
main
screw
system
so
paradin,
and
we
can
support
them
to
students
fully.
B
A
B
I
think
many
South
Korean
immigrant
and
their
family
students
I
think
they
came
to
United
States
because
of
they
wanna
provide
a
good
opportunity
with
public
education,
so
that's
their
main
goal
and
dream
and
achievement.
So
they
many
parents
are
interesting.
Those
Academical
program
and
we
have
wonderful
program
in
our
county
like
every
time.
A
A
B
New,
no
New
Year
is
it
based
on
the
moon
cycles.
So
it
is
the
full
moon.
When
comes
the
quarter,
moon,
half
moon,
full
moon.
So
it
is
different
every
year
based
on
moon
cycle.
So
we
had
this
year
item.
Full
moon
is
around
February,
so
mostly
first
middle
of
January
to
between
end
of
February,
then
in
Korea,
that's
one
of
the
biggest
holiday.
So
they
closed
the
school
business
for
one
week
and
they
visited
family
and
they
go
to
do
they
go
to
family
cemeteries
and
they
gather
and
played
all
the
traditional
games.
A
B
Full
moon
festival
is
around
for
harvest
time,
so
I
can
say
it
really
similar
to
Thanksgiving
and
I
got
giving
thanks
to
you
know
like
a
harvest
but
a
little
different.
First,
it
comes
every
different
months
and
not
different
months,
but
different
day
because
based
on
moon
cycling,
also
full
moon
festival
is
the
I
guess
lunar
year
and
full
moon
festival.
B
We
call
Chuseok
and
as
honor
the
biggest
holiday
so
again,
almost
as
core
business
close
to
four
to
five
days,
so
family
gathering
and
they
shared
a
nice
traditional
food
and
also
they
bow
Korean,
bow
to
our
elders
in
showing
respect.
So
they
wearing
or
Korean
traditional
dress,
which
is
beautiful,
and
so
they
talked
about
their
grandparents
or
they
took,
and
they
talk
about
the
the
parents
when
they
are
young.
Also
they
play
the
Korean
traditional
games,
and
so
it
is
kind
of
relaxed
like
and
having
good
time
together
in
family.
A
House
retreat,
yes,
that's
very
interesting
and
very
interesting.
Thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that
with
us.
What
else
do
you
do
when
it
comes
to
communication?
You
said
that
you
assist.
You
are
the
bridge
of
communication
between
schools
and
Families,
but
tell
me
about
let's
say
that
the
school
is
sending
a
message
in
English
to
affair
to
the
community.
What
is
the,
how
or
what
ways
do
you
relay
the
message
in
Korean?
How
do
you
do
that
so.
B
I
think,
as
a
parent
or
facilitator,
one
of
my
job
is
provide
translation
and
interpretation
and
provide
resource.
So
when
we
have
like
a
big
County
events
such
as
like
magnet
program,
asian-american
magnet
nice,
something
like
that,
then
we
first
we
make
flyers
and
English
and
translate
in
all
different
languages.
So
I
do
my
part
for
Koreans
and
then
also
we
sent
our
corrective
message
and
also
sometimes
some
Korean
parents,
I
guess
most
of
asian-american
parents.
B
A
B
B
A
B
Don't
need
for
when
I
make
phone
call
it's
not
just
only
for
invited
parent,
also,
it's
time
for
me
to
hear
from
parents.
So
they
talk
about
all
my
kid
kisses
this
issue
and
they
have
this
issue
with
the
school
and
Grady
is
dropping
something
like
this.
So
that's
the
opportunity
to
get
to
know
their
parents,
the
core
initiative.
That's.
A
When
you,
you
make
the
special
bond,
yes
with
families,
something
else
that
I
would
like
to
ask.
There
are
so
many
questions.
I
want
to
ask
you
and
I'm
just
so
excited
to
have
you
join
us
today,
so
when
you
are
reaching
out
to
families,
mostly
in
Korean,
of
course,
can
you
tell
us
the
response
when
you
say
I
am
you're
bilingual
facilitator?
How
do
they
take
it
to
they?
B
Think
most
of
parent
respect
me
because
the
in
South
Korea
in
our
culture,
a
teacher
deserved
respect,
so
they
always
respect
and
they
don't
call
our
name
because
in
our
culture,
elderly
people
and
older
people,
or
so
teachers,
professor,
we
don't
called
their
name
like
God.
We
don't
call
guests
on.
We
call,
sir,
like
names
on
same
name
in
Korean
okay,
so
they
always
call
like
crazy
son,
same
name,
sons,
animals
very
respect,
so
they
appreciate
for
reaching
out
them
and
also
some
people's
are.
They
know
some
of
parents
always
call
me.
B
I
have
these
days
almost
every
day
other
day,
but
somehow
some
parents
parish
are
busy
and
they
hesitate
to
call
me
so
when
I
make
phone
call
to
them,
their
response
is
very
happy
and
then
they
said
we
are
so
appreciate
that
our
HP
has
hiring
a
facilitator.
So
we
can
have
you
to
get
all
this
kind
of
necessary
with
those
informations
such
as
like
that.
That's.
A
Carry
in
through
grace
is
part
of
the
team
of
bilingual
facilitators,
wonderful
team,
the
works
in
the
school
system,
and
we
are
here
to
serve
you
and
serve
our
schools
to
improve
communication
between
both
families
and
community
in
our
schools
as
well,
and
so
she
does
a
great
job,
you're
not
reaching
and
planning
really
enjoy.
You
know
collaborating
with
you
and
whatever
we
can
as
a
team.
You
are
always
a
team
player
and
I.
Guess
then
very
much
how
many
families
do
you
serve
in
the
county,
because.
B
He
was
used
to
be
a
large
number
and
I
think
when
Korean
came
to
the
United,
States
I
think
like
two
years
ago
ten
years
ago,
he
was
so
mainly.
It
came
to
the
Montgomery
County
and
our
an
undercount,
especially
areas
of
Glen
Burnie.
But
now
they
do
our
tip
run.
How
did
I'm
saying
with
a
bit
of
decreasing
but
still
good
number,
but
not
big
number
good
number
and
very
important
numbers
to
keep
you
busy.
A
B
So
they're
very
important
and
to
our
systems,
and
so
I
guess
around
220.
So,
however,
when
we
see
the
history
of
immigration,
I
think
Koreans.
History
is
shorter
than
Japanese
immigrants
and
Chinese
immigrants.
So
still
they
need
a
lot
of
like
liaison
facilitators,
a
heart
and
even
I'm,
seeing
that
some
parents
who
up
on
here
as
a
second
generation
this
profit
English.
B
They
have
education
from
here
elementary
to
college,
somehow
cultural
difference,
so
they
don't
show
up
to
school
when
their
kids
shared
some
kind
of
with
their
problem
issue
with
the
pattern
and
parents
are
very
up
to
Hejduk
to
speak
up
because
of
a
cultural
difference
in
our
country,
when
I
was
growing
up
in
South
Korea
like
if
a
parent
too
came
to
school
and
talked
about
all.
My
kids
complain
to
these
days.
B
So
I
wanna
have
a
discussion,
taste
this
and
immediately
it
will
be
like
a
troublemaker
so
they'll,
let
her
like
a
stay
at
home
and
not
address
issue
to
school.
So
most
of
the
time
when
I
contact
pattern,
they
shared
with
me
so
I
lay
out
those
message
to
counsel
PBW
and
classroom
teacher.
So
try
to
positive
between
school
and
teacher
and
families
and
students
awesome.
B
B
I
think
I
am
seeing
some
cool
number
when
we
have
a
county
or
comprehend
event,
but
most
likely
I
have
it
to
make
phone
call
to
make
sure.
Take
your
call
because
they
always
say
all
we
ever
do
every
day
so
busy
and
things.
You
know
that
also
I'm,
the
one
we
try
to
reach,
eat
them
and
make
sure
we
have.
It
is
event
and
please
come
and.
A
B
Home
screens
are
all
the
way
meters
meters,
castles
and
which
has
a
stem
program.
So
my
post
gets
done,
assign
me
my
station
at
all
the
massage
school
and
because
it
has
a
stem
program
with
the
South
and
IB
program
at
the
middle
school
knows
and
I
have
a
program
with
the
high
school.
So
I
can
get
the
resource
to
share
with
a
pattern
or
so
I
can
get
most
updated
information
and
so
I
think
it
is
Grace.
Cory
they're,
good.
