The good part is I seem very young to most of my students in Korea. When I tell them I'm 25 (26 Korean age), I get looks of shock, envy, and even contempt. But some tell me that I look older, I act older, and I seem older than what I am.
I guess I appear quite enlightened. This is true to some extent... or so I like to think. Yes, it sounds cliche, but philosophy has really opened my mind to the world. I'm not saying I'm a genius, but I would say that my worldview is definitely a mature one that has considered quite a bit for a 25 year-old. In years to come, I will likely laugh at my naivety, but that's not to say that I can't give myself a little credit where its due.
So, I give myself a pat on the back. Here's to many more to come.
