Dear Mr. President,

Hi!

I am Sung-Yun Hwang.

I am the president of the Children's Club in Korea's Global International School.

I write to you to ask you a favor.

I am a Korean who was born in Korea, but people do not seem to know me.

I was born in Korea.

I only know how to speak Korean.

I only eat Korean food.

My father is also Korean.

So it must be definite that I am a Korean, right?

But people do not seem to accept this.

I think it's because I am colored.

I guess it must be obvious, then.

My mother is from Ghana, in Africa.

She has dark skin.

That is why I was born with dark skin and curly hair as well.

So I had a lot of difficulties up until now.

I asked myself "why is my skin color different?"

I was teased a lot in school because of my color.

I even learned Tae-Kwon-Do to punish those who called me a black African.

I have a hard time when those kids bully me and play on their own.

So that's why I do not want to go to a place where there are many people.

But my mother died three years ago.

My father soon followed her last autumn.

I hated my parents for leaving us all alone.

I am still hurt.

I miss both my mom and dad.

My two other siblings and I fought and cried many times.

Then we prayed to Jesus.

Jesus listened to our prayers.

He allowed us to meet a great pastor.

We built a house where we stay together and even a pretty teacher came here.

Now, I started studying at the Global International School.

GIS is a school that teaches children like us who are born within a multicultural family.

I am now in Grade 4 with kids from diverse backgrounds.

I am studying and playing with friends from Thailand, Philippines, China, Myanmar, Mongol, America, Ghana, India, and soon who all have different skin colors.

I participated in the presidential elections in our Children's Club last year in May.

Then, I had the chance to give out the last speech during the election.

I asked my friends,

"Do you know who the President of the United States is?"

The children answered in one voice,

"Barack Obama!"

I continued on my speech,

"But why does President Obama have black skin?

It's because his father is from Kenya.

I also have black skin.

That's because my mother is from Ghana in Africa.

I will become like President Obama when I grow up.

Please vote for me to become the president of the Children's Club!"

Guess what happened as a result?

I obviously became the president of the Children's Club and now I am writing to you.

But my school has another name apart from the Global International School.

That is, the Obama School.

'How can a school in Korea be named after the President of the United States?'

You must be surprised.

Our school is mostly composed of children from multicultural families like me.

There are also Korean children who were born in foreign countries.

We are hurt when we are teased by other children who bully us for being different, but we want to be like you when we grow up.

That is why our school was named Obama School and it is still called so.

If you search us on the Internet by this name, our school homepage will pop up.

So this means our school's name is Obama School, right?

I want to grow up to become like you, who does important jobs.

I want to become a diplomat who contributes to world unity.

That's why I'm learning Korean, English, and other languages of my parents.

Our school's distinctive feature is that it helps us become experts at multilingualism.

I promise to study in this Global International School and later achieve my goal!

Mr. President!

Would you like to visit our school once?

Our students who are from multinational families have decided to invite you after a discussion.

We really want to greet you and show you who we are.

It's impossible for all of us to go to the U.S.

So you should come visit our school when you visit Korea.

Please make our wish come true.

I will be counting the days until you come visit us.

Mr. President!

Keep your chin up.

October, 2011
