She is known to her American fam ily and friends as Chloe. She loves Heppner and really likes the fact that it is a small town. She came to America because she wanted to learn English, and become more accustomed to our culture. She was also really hoping for a great experience. Back home, Chloe left her father and her mother, while her brother is here in America also. Chloe really likes American food, especially spaghetti, even though she does miss her favorite veg etable dish K im chi. She also really enjoys American fashion as she likes how laid back it is here in the States. C hloe is 16 years old here in A m erica, yet in Korea she is 18. They count their ages differently than here in the States. For example when they are bom they are considered to be one year old, not days and months. In Korea you also start school at age 6 (in American ages) and gradu- h / Jung Ah, Eom (Chloe) and Katie Kilkenny ate at 17. Chloe really wants to go to college in Korea, but she is going to miss football, as she really enjoyed watch ing the Mustangs this year. She especially enjoyed the state championship game.
