My Korean name is Min Jung Lee.
Nadia means hope.
I was born on July 26, 1995 in Korea, with a birth weight of 2.85 kg and a
height of 46.2 cm.
My hobbies include sleeping, drinking formula and
apple juice, saying "agoo", and bathing, and watching the dogs Hanah and
Chelsea. For a picture of me from December, 1995, click here .
The following is a picture from my first birthday. It is
the Korean tradition to be offered choices, which allegedly fortell my
future life. For my birthday, I had choices of a bowl of rice (indicating
wealth), money (this is obvious), fruit (for health), a book, a pencil, a
pen (all indicating scholarly work), ruler (for talent with sewing - yes -
old habits are hard to die - my dad wanted to put a wrench there, but mom
said NO), noodles and yarn (for a long life).
I chose a pen and pencil (I think my parents were hoping for wealth,
having had enough of the scholarly life) (July, 1996).
