"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
To Mr. Graeme & Mr. Alec Freeman.
Thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime. With your generosity I now have the chance to do something I have never done before; live and learn abroad. As a Shidler College of Business student, I have not only grown as a young professional, but also as a global leader. Nonetheless, my immersive international experience in Seoul, South Korea will undoubtedly hone my global competencies. Whether it be coping with culture shock or communicating beyond borders, I am excited to challenge myself abroad. Known as the "K" in the "SKY" Universities of Korea, the country's three most renown institutions, Korea University's prestige entails academic rigor and excellence. With a growing base of international students, I was one of many whom were drawn in by Korea University Business School (KUBS), the country's no. 1 ranked business school. Studying at such a prestigious school, I look forward to gaining a diversified perspective learning alongside other international students in my business courses. As a Marketing, International Business, and Chinese Language Flagship major, I intend to establish a global career in content creation. Although I have yet to discover what that career will be exactly, this international exchange opportunity will help propel me towards my professional aspirations. Up until this point, I owe my academic success to the sacrifices my parents have made upon immigrating to America. However, I can now thank the Freeman Foundation for also selflessly investing in my future and other future global business leaders. Thank you again for making this experience a possibility. Sincerely, Brittany Lieu

ABout me..Hi, there! My name is Brittany and I am currently a undergraduate at the University of Hawaii. Although I have been exposed to Korean culture both through the uniquely Asian culture in Hawaii and the plethora of Korean dramas I've indulged in, I have no authentic understanding and experience of Korea. So, I have decided to embark on this study abroad journey not only to seek the delicious foods, but to also challenge my sense of independence, global awareness, and cultural identity.
