     A Korean-American girl shares her story.

My name is Song Lee Park.  I am 10 years old and live with my family in Menlo Park, New Jersey.  I've lived here all my life.

I have a mom and dad, as well as a grandmother (my dad's mom), and two cats (one Maine Coon named Charlie and a shorthair tabby named Girlie).  I am an only child.  Don't mind it most of the time (don't have to put up with whiny or bossy siblings), but I can't get away with things if I happen to get into trouble.  That's a real pain!

I'm going to be in the fifth grade.  I go to Menlo Preparatory School; it's a school for kids who are "gifted".  I have an IQ of over 150 points; I'm light years ahead of typical kids.  Regular classes are not challenging enough for me so this is why I go to a school like Menlo Preparatory.  I need the stimulation and the harder courses.

At school this year I will be taking Language Arts, College Entry Math 1, World Affairs, Meteorology/Astrological Science, Music Theory, Business English/Journalism, and Physical Education (which is my only "normal" class).  I will be bogged down with homework, but I honestly don't mind.  I love school; always have, always will.

My best friend is Whitney Grabers; but she takes normal, Joe Boring, Mickey Mouse classes.  She is not a genius like myself.  Still, she treats me like any other kid, evne though I am, technically, not.  We like to act stupid together, go swimming, go to the park near our apartment complex, draw, read, write stories, and go to the mall.  When I'm around Whitney, I can act like any other kid, which I appreciate.  I am ten years old; I don't need to be hanging around high school- or college- aged kids all the time!

I have other friends, but Whit is my best BEST friend.

Well, Mother and Father are going to take me to get some new supplies plus I need some new uniform shirts, socks, and shoes.  My skirt is still good as are my sashes.  I will write in here again another time; I hope you liked reading about my (not-so-typical) life!  God bless and take care!

~Song Lee.  :)
