Author: Erin Million How have I changed? My eating habits got really bad. Because U.S. had more to offer, you name it, different kinds of foods from different countries are here. I love to try new things. So I got fat and I got lazy. There are too many easy ways to do things. In Korea when I wanted to go places we walked so we got a lot of exercise. Now, I’m thinking that was a plus because now I drive everywhere and I don’t do much exercise. There are too many things you can acquire without much effort. I think I became more vocal because I have the freedom to say and make choices. That’s probably one of the main things I rejected when I was young without even thinking I was rejecting it. If I look back, my actions tell me that is why I was being rebellious. I had no choice of who I wanted to marry or what I wanted to do. All I knew was that my future was lined out for me; to get marry to someone I don’t hardly know, have kids and be a mother. Okay, hello, that wasn’t something I thought very highly of.
