Welcome to steemit ; what an interesting 'introduceyourself' post! I read through the comments here and some of my questions have been answered, but I wondered if there was a big Korean population in South Africa? That is not your average Korean story for sure haha
I'm one of the judges in the Pay it Forward Contest where featured your post. You are more than welcome to join us next week with an entry of your own if you'd like :) All the rules can be found at the contest page. Being new, it's also a great place for you to meet new people and develop a community of your own.
I think many of us would love to hear the story ( or many stories) of how it was growing up in South Africa as a Korean boy and how it feels being back "home". I taught English in Canada for many years, so I totally understand your decision not to pay International fees to study in the US or Canada for that matter. it really is absurd, isn't it. I remember wanting to study in California, but being from Canada, I too would have had to pay international fees ... that is many years ago, but it was still equally absurd!
I know I'm dumping piles on you here today, but I'd also like to invite you to join , a group which focuses on quality, unnoticed posts (and being new, trust me, yours will begin as "unnoticed" :) Most do!). We also regularly publish READ me ASAP, where we showcase our members' posts and they receive a percentage of the post payout. Plus, it's another great way to meet new people because there's a place where you can share your own posts, but you need to comment and upvote two other member's posts; the plan being "they" will come visit you when they see that you've appreciated their content.
I'm guessing that's plenty for now, seeing that I've written a short story here haha If you ever have any questions, I'd be happy to help you out. Again, Welcome to steemit! :)
