I studied Korean for 3 college semesters, spent a summer studying abroad in South Korea, and lived and worked there for 6 months. My Korean isn't conversation-ready but serves daily needs.
I traveled around the U.S. by Amtrak, covering 8,000 miles in 71 days, starting and ending in New York. I rode trains like the Crescent, Sunset Limited, Pacific Surfliner, Coast Starlight, Empire Builder, Hiawatha Service, and Lake Shore Limited.
I scored 800 on SAT Math, SAT II Math, and SAT II Physics in high school.
