basic history:
Birth: I was born in Korea to parents who were making money off selling kids into an adoption ring from what I hear. My understanding was they were paying women to give up their children so the adoption agency could make money from "adopting out" the kids but basically selling us. There were people desperate enough for money to just have kids to get the amount they'd give for us but the company always made more than they paid.
Adoption 1: When I was still a newborn under a year I was adopted by some Americans and brought to the states, they raised me for the first year of my life before deciding they didn't want me because I wasn't doing well at first. I had/have a heart condition that makes my heart not as strong as it should be and they couldn't handle my medical needs so they dropped me off outside the doors of a hospital with my birth certificate.
Adoption 2: My mom Lisa found me and took me into the hospital, they tried to find out who my parents were but never really had any luck in tracking them down. When the social services people were planning to send me back to Korea she stepped up and said she would adopt me if possible, talking to her husband and sorting out the papers I got my true parents.
Childhood: Growing up with them I was raised with both cultures as best as they could manage, they hired tutors to teach me to speak Korean so I wouldn't lose my heritage. I was a good kid, did my chores and loved playing with the other kids in our neighborhood. The medical issues were kept under control because my mother is a nurse so she knew what to expect and how to take care of me.
First Serious Heart Problem: I was seven when I had my first really serious problem, I'd been bouncing around the house and it stressed my heart too much and made it beat too fast...by the time the ambulance got there my heart had stopped but they obviously got it started again. That's when my parents learned that I needed to learn not to work myself up too much and started teaching me to tell them when I felt short of breath or odd.
School: Starting school was fun for me and I loved learning and getting to know everything I could about the world around me. My one teacher also taught night classes for dancing and my parents didn't want to let me go at first but I promised to get good grades and not over-work my heart so they let me. I kept my grades up and that's something I've done all my life because I'm proud of my good grades and I began learning to dance.
First Dance Performance: I was 13 when I did the first real dance performance, my heart condition not causing any problems for it thankfully and I loved being on stage dancing. I'd learned ballet and other styles of dance and it was just something I truly loved to do and that I still love doing.
Second Serious Heart Problem: At fifteen is when my next serious problem happened, between the first and second there were minor things, but the doctors were impressed by my strengthening my heart through making it work more but not overworking it. This time though my heart stopped again and they almost didn't get me back. I just remember how scared my mom was and telling her it would be okay then coming home feeling better and listening to my parents argue about whether they should let me keep dancing or not.
High School/Gay Discovery: Starting high school was amazing, more to learn and more people to be friends with. Course that didn't make me popular by any means and really I was kinda bullied and picked on for my dancing. I hadn't picked up on how liking men was a bad thing until high school, when that came out it all got ten times worse because being gay made people hate me. I keep my head down now, I've learned to not flaunt it or flirt in school, safer that way.
Dance: Through my life dance has always been important to me and it's what I plan on making a future of, I want to dance on a stage and be I famous performances. I let it ease my troubles because I can get lost in dancing and I feel like there's no bad in the world or my life. The heart condition does add complications but I have learned when to take breaks and when I need to plan a doctors visit. I have a goal for my life and I plan to reach it.
