honestly I don't think this is ready yet.

--In the first paragraph it feels like you are just listing stuff. You aren't really tying the sentences together and although it is obvious you are diverse, your DS doesn't fully exploit that.

--The second paragraph doesn't really tell me much about you. You might want to explore your idea of 'home' instead. You are Korean but you call the Philippines home, there has to be story in that somewhere.

--The third paragraph, you need to tell us what your opinions are. Why does it make you diverse? And in my opinion I believe the US is more accustomed to diversity than you think. So I do not really agree with that statement.

:( Thanks for the great feedback... Maybe I should go back and re-write this one... But your feedback helped a ton. I'll expand on some of my points :)
