<p>~Extracurriculars~</p>
<br>
<p>I've visited 18 countries. My district's superintendent (i.e. my boss) is writing a recommendation letter for me. The boss knows me really well so I'm sure it will be fine. I speak 6 languages and can claim fluency in 3; English is not my first language and I don't speak it much at home. I'm really, really into North Korea. I used to blog about it (if adcoms Google my name, the blog shows up) but had to stop due to time management and health issues.</p>
