I'm in charge of getting performers, advertising, contacting operation smile organizations, getting a venue & preparing reception). Our first concert raised $400 (helping 2 kids).</p>

<p>So overall, plainly put, I do a lot of things with my flute, but more concerts/volunteer than competitions. I really like to write. I do a lot of teaching at church, especially creative writing and have been teaching kids how to write since I was in 6th grade. Languages are very easy for me to learn. I speak 3 fluently (English, Korean, French), and am learning 2 more (Spanish, Chinese). I'm thinking of majoring in Comparative Lit and/or International Relations. And, my dad's a pastor, which means two things. I have to work a whole lot just to pay for my own lunch because we don't have much of an income. Second, I spend a lot of time at church, helping out my parents and participating in church activities.</p>
