Along with a friend, I signed up, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made during my time in Korea.

Many members were graduating, and several were leaving the team, making the changes feel even more significant. We said our goodbyes with promises to stay in touch, hoping our paths would cross again, whether in Korea, the U.S., or wherever life may take us.
