Autobiographical content

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.

1985-1995: Birth and Early Childhood

This first period covers birth to the end of early-childhood at Age 10. It starts at the time I was born in Korea, and the entirety of my time in the US before my family moved back to Korea in 1995. Looking back, I realize that this period was a hugely formative period for my core values, joys, and intrinsic curiosity.

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 return to the United States 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.

The end?

I've taken a number life expectancy tests over the years, and kept tabs on my overall health. Generally, these simple non-scientific online tests have given me numbers between 92-100, so for mental convenience, I've just kept 100 in mind (though I'm really pushing for at least 115 :)); thus means I would live to around 2085. This means I'd get to see the bulk of the 21st century come to pass, and unless I screw up badly, will have left a dent to last longer than that.

Excellent - Bring Life On! :)
