Revision as of 14:44, 22 July 2015
I guess my autobiography has to start somewhere, right? And I bet it would be rather difficult to write it without taking notes on life as I went along. Here, I will write a narrated perspective of events in my life. I probably will not not write this in chronological order, but they will be put in the appropriate context.
Over time, a more complete picture will emerge.
By Age
Before 1985: Background
Reading history, I'm often amazed at the tectonic shifts in geopolitics that have occurred over the span of our parents' and grandparents' lifetimes. Any time I get a chance to meet distant or long disconnected extended family, I've taken the opportunity to expand my knowledge of my family's story across the world. I will write relevant findings here, and in the family history page.
I classify myself as a 1.5 or 2nd generation Korean-American/immigrant, with an upbringing largely in the United States, and a childhood experience in Korea.

- National history
- Prehistory
1985-1995: Birth and Early Childhood
This first period covers birth to the end of early-childhood at age 10. Chronologically, it starts at the time I was born, and ends at Age 10, my last before my family moved to Korea in 1995.
1995-2005: Late Childhood/Early Adolescence
This period covers late childhood to early adolescence. It includes the entirety of my time in Korea (1995-2000) and from junior high to early college.
2005-2015: Late Adolescence/Early Adulthood
This period covers the late adolescence of college and the start of independent adult life.
2015-2025: The Fourth Decade
This fourth decade is now just getting started as I've turned 30, and promises much to come.
Future
These are ages yet to come. Detail will be added over time.
