<p>Personal statement:
Talked about the first time I visited the library at five years old and how I've loved reading ever since. Reading made me eager to learn, books taught me so much, kept asking questions about everything because of it</p>
<p>Cultural difference statement:
Talked about how I visited Korea last summer. I assumed because I'm Korean and I can speak Korean that I would fit in right away. Learned that living in Korea is different from America. "Culture is something that cannot be defined through ethnicity or where you live; culture is defined by who you are and how you lived your life."</p>
