Yeah, I am korean. :]

My dad is an F-1 student and he is here on a student visa so I am also here as an F-2 student.

I was just reading the so-called “stats” again and I seriously sound boring.

There’s a student in my school whose sister went to Harvard. He is so amazingly talented in piano and has numerous awards, not to mention some that resulted in my defeat.

It stinks because I have
a) no musical ability
b) no atletic ability
c) no freakin’ ability

I can’t enter the korean chemisty/biology olympiad because I’m in America, and I can’t enter the United States chemistry olympiad because I’m Korean.

I wish I could just get in based on academic merit but ALL koreans have academic merit so this puts me in a difficult situation. Is there anything I can do to diversify myself?

[ps] thanks for the replies :]
