She was born in Michigan but received the opportunity to develop these language abilities by living around the world. Because her father was a South Korean diplomat, she experienced life in China, India, Thailand and South Korea. After these travels, she ventured back to the United States on her own at to continue her education at age 16.<\/p>\n<p>When it came time to select an academy, she chose Grove City College because of the great education program that is provided. She appreciates how field-oriented the department is and commented, \u201cThere are certain things that classroom lectures just can\u2019t teach.\u201d Looking back on the past three years there she noted, \u201cI am not a very social person, but GCC helped me to increase my in-group pool. It made me learn humility too, and with this education, I am sure that my call was to Elementary Ed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With only one more year to go at Grove City College, Grace has gotten excited to see what the future has in store for her.
