Today I interviewed an old friend of mine, Caleb Kim. Caleb is a twenty-one-year-old from Seattle Washington. He attends the University of Washington and study\u2019s real estate and is in multiple leadership positions for his fraternity. He is technically a first generation American although both his parents moved to America from South Korea at a very young age. Caleb and I grew up together playing baseball and sort of lost touch over the years but finally reconnected through this interview. In the interview we covered how his parents came to America, where their families settled, and what they did for a living. I learned about Caleb\u2019s grandmother’s special recipe for chicken that is still named after her in a mercantile shop in a small coastal town in Washington. We discussed Caleb\u2019s identity growing up as a Korean American and how he felt his identity change as he learned more about himself through high-school and college. We also discussed family tradition and he said that he plans to continue all of these traditions with his own family one day. The interview was conducted over zoom because we attend colleges on opposite sides of the country. And lastly the interview was conducted by myself, Clint Flippo and sophomore history major at Colby College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
