First of all, my little rant on this.

Maybe 20 years ago I could see the need. Maybe even 10 years ago. But today, right now, especially if you live in an urban area, doubly so if you live in a Korean hotspot like NYC, LA, SF, Boston, Chicago, or Seattle, there is no need to choose an American name.

That's what makes this country so geat, and why Japan still sucks. Because you can use your own name, and people will be cool with that. You don't have to change a damn thing about yourself, and you can still be 100% American. Not many other places are nice like that. America is.

So, "Amy", screw that crap. Your name is Chung Un-chung. Say it proudly. We here in the USA would.

Tutoring kids is something I like to do. Clearly that is the case because I demand so little in the way of monetary reward. I just wish I was better at it. And that I didn't have to travel so far. And that I could get a free weekend from time to time. Or that I could keep a lesson from going over.

It's a lot of fun dealing with kids, helping them learn. You should try it some time.
