Source 3 1. media type="file" key="Dad's Interview on Dongju's Graduation.m4a" width="300" height="50" __How would you describe Dongju, your daughter’s graduation?__
 * Translation:**

“Well there are two things, one is that Dongju is Mom and Dad’s first child so she always has this special feeling towards us. However if you compare to our graduation, there are some cultural differences between your sister and your parents’ time. In our day, we never really thought much of our graduation but going to Dongju’s graduation I noticed that the ceremony was very serious and a big event to those who attended, so I enjoyed the ceremony a lot feeling that. So to conclude, one is that our eldest child had grown well and the other is the comparison from my graduation and your sister’s graduation.”

__How did you feel about her and the event afterwards?__

“Truthfully, if Dongju had grown up in Korea at a Korean school, even after she graduated she would’ve stayed here with us and the people that we know. The graduation was not just something about ending high school, but also about leaving us in Korea and living on her own in America. On one side I was very sad and thrilled but on another I was very proud of her.”

__Would you say this was a turning point in your life? If so, why?__

“Maybe, in some sense. But, like I told you before, your mom and I got married in 1990, had her in 1994 and after 10 or so years, she’s ready to move on and live on her own. Well, it might not be actually on her own but the notion that she had grown up enough to live by herself was some kind of a turning point for me too. It also made me think, that oh, now I’m in one of the “old people group” and that my duty to her was done, now that she make her own life happy and make changes to it by herself.”
