Kim, Eunho

Eunho Kim was a Korean Exchange student who attended Faith Christian High School during his sophomore, junior and senior years, after struggling to adjust in a local public school during his freshman year.  Eunho graduated in 2010, as an honor student and recently wrote an email to his 12th grade English teacher, Steve Twedell, sharing exciting news about the next phase of his education.  Here are Eunho’s comments: 

"I just found out that I was accepted into Yonsei University! It is the most prestigious college in all of Korea.  It would be like an Ivy League School in the US.  All of your help was huge to me in this process!  I know that your recommendation letter played a big role in my acceptance!  Also, I received a full ride scholarship for four years!" 

"Thank you SO MUCH!  You are the best TEACHER!!!  When I read the acceptance letter from Yonsei, I screamed, cried, etc.... because I was so happy!  If I get a chance to go visit the U.S., I will definitely go to FCA to see you and the other teachers who all helped to prepare me so well for college!!!" 

“Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!"
