Dear Mina:

I don’t know about the quality of counseling offered at the SKY universities, but it may be something for you to explore?

I am not surprised young people in Korea (and foreigners, I suppose) study 5-6 years so to be accepted to a SKY university- it is considered such an honor, prestige, the road to success, or like your mother said: being a Somebody.

And there you are, Mina in Sky, and the only thing you yearn for is Love, to be understood, to be accepted.

From observing other students, do you notice their distress regarding the academic pressure, the competition, expectations: how they deal with it,  any open talk about it among students?
