My daughter in 2017

In 2017, a family moved from South Korea to Canada, seeking a better life. Their daughter faced several challenges, particularly with language and integration. Adjusting to new math and science terminology was difficult, and learning French as a second language proved extremely challenging since she had no prior exposure to it.
