What is a moment in your life that you’re most proud of?
"I’m most proud of knowing and meeting God. I feel like I am so fortunate to be a part of God’s family. I am walking the steps of my life with God and although at times, it may be difficult, I always remember that I can do everything in Christ. Secondly, I am proud of my son’s marriage. I lived through difficult times and my children were faced with many challenges throughout their lives. But when my son married, I felt very proud. He was now leaving my arms and making his own family so I felt proud and happy."

Sung L. is a 65-year-old senior who is part of our Koreatown Storytelling program at KYCC. She currently resides in the Menlo Family Apartments with her husband. She was born in Seoul, South Korea and worked as a Seoul city official until she immigrated to the U.S. with her husband in 1978. She worked as a caregiver for seniors, making meals for them, accompanying them to the market, and having conversations with them. She retired last year, and in her free time, she likes to meet with her church friends. During quarantine, instead of being confined in her apartment, she likes to go hiking at Griffith Park early in the morning. #KoreatownStorytelling
