 Born as bombs and mortar
tore
through her native country and raised with the quiet example of strength and
honor from her parents, this 13 year old girl became the designated head of her
family at the death of her beloved father. Driven to succeed and seeing
America as her path to the success her father wanted for her, she emigrated from
Korea to the United States in her late teens.
As she finds ways to blend
her Korean values of family and responsibility with American customs and values,
her belief in herself never waivers. In Korea successful people are business
owners so she too must become a business owner in her new country. Becoming a
successful business owner in a small mid-western town is not easy; expanding
that business to become the store of choice for high-end builders and buyers in
a nearby city across state lines is even more impressive.
As you read her story you’ll
find a fascinating mix of family loyalties and responsibilities, absolute
respect for hard work, and the strength of character to set the example for the
next generation in her family.
