| Introduction | I never knew how different the world of my childhood was until I left Korea, where I had lived with my missionary parents since the age of four, and returned to the country that was supposed to be my home, the United States. I was sixteen years old at the time, grieving over the loss of friends I might never see again and ill prepared for my new life. Like many other missionary kids I floundered and roamed. In retrospect it is obvious how much those early years in Korea shaped my perspective and my choices. During my years as a physician assistant and an educator, facilitating the acculturation of patients and students has provided insight into the many transitions in my own life and has helped me see my experiences less as a shattered vessel and more as an intricate and beautiful tapestry. |
