#47- Mia & Educated

Life is crazy…

Yesterday, I was chatting with my friend at the conference about a partnership, etc. While we were looking for a spot to sit down, I saw a lady (Her name is Mia) who was reading a book at the tech conference. First, it was so weird to me. I said “who read a book at the conference? “ But, I also liked it a lot. Somehow I feel so close to the people who like to read.

I saw the book she was reading that was “Educated”. I said, “that is a great book”. Then, we started chatting about almost everything about tech, reading, writing, and life. She said the “Educated” story so relevant to her. She grew up in a rural area in Korea. Then she came to America and learned English and now works at a giant tech company. Her English is so good and I couldn’t believe it she learned in Korea.

After our short chat, I said you need to start to write and she said I am not good enough. I showed her how I write and what’s my journal looks like. She promised she will be a guest author in my journal.

I am so much in love with writing. I can’t even know how I can describe my feelings. And also so glad to start writing, if I had a chance to motivate Mia.
