Immigration to America

Hello, I am Darlene Kim and I'm from South Korea :-)
I've been here about 2 years and I JUST started to like this country.
The reason why I came to this country, United States, is to learn English and make some American friendos.:-P
Everyone knows English had became one of the most important langauage in this planet.
In Korea, even some childeren who didn't entrance elemantary school starts to learn English (this became a huge problem).
However, I bet every single person who's living in this world knows how important English is.
My precious English tutor, Courtney, once took me to her parents' house in Illinois for thanksgiving break. Therefore, I've got a chance to see what American's culture looks like. (I feel thankful to Courtney:-D)
America is a beautiful country. It has such a wonderful culture, history, and peoples.
Once I was surprised by America's powerful power. Although this country only had 200 years of history (Korea has 5000 long history), it became one of the strongest country in the world. This country also had a lot of problem include civil war and Vietnam war (twice as many Americans died in this war than civil war). I was totaly shocked by America's strong power.
I love America and I wish I could born an Amercian for next life if I could.

Thank you for reading my humble story and have a nice day :-)
