Hi guys! My name is Paige Eakins, I am 22 years old and currently live in Seoul, South Korea. I have been here almost 3 years but before here, I called Colorado home. I love to watch Television and Movies with friends. I also enjoy walking around the city to see all the interesting things we live near. I am also a big shopper. They have such a variety of things here that I love to pick up interesting things here or there. I have one younger sister and I love doing activities and fun games with her.

                Why did I pick those 5 words? I am a very loving person. I make sure that everyone one is taken care of and has everything they need. I love giving presents to family and friends and am always there when someone needs a shoulder or someone to talk too. Since the moment I was born I have always been a loud person. I don’t know why but my family all knows when I am coming because I guess I walk loud and talk loud too. :) My friends know me as very trustworthy and I believe this is because it is what I would want in a friendship. I have had friendships where they have broken my trust and hurt me and I would never wish that on my worst enemy so I always make it my priority to keep someone’s trust. I have had a hard road in life. Not the hardest by far, but I have had my troubles and no matter what, I always overcome it and push forward. And dorky, oh am I a dork. My family knows I am a dork and I say the corniest things sometimes. I love making people laugh even if I am a dork in the process.

                I love to swim. I did that in high school and it is really calming for me. It is nothing but me and the water. I am not a big fan of exercising but I do enjoy taking small hikes into the mountainous areas around Seoul. I had a pretty intense knee surgery 2 years ago so sometimes random activities can give me a little trouble but I like to play all kinds of sports. I am in the process of losing weight as well so I am hoping with the constant moving that I can get back to playing all these sports with no issues.

                Along with my knee, I have had some mental health issues as well. I have found that for me, yoga and meditation have really helped me become better. I am able to clear my mind and reduce the stress I am feeling. I don’t feel emotionally overwhelmed and am able to breathe again without starting to stress about what I have to do. I also feel my anxiety lessen because I am able to be in a quiet place.

                In the future, I am wanting to graduate from Ashford with my bachelors in Early Childhood Education and begin working as a Kindergarten teacher. I currently have nothing tying me down so I am considering teaching abroad.

Wow that is a lot. I hope I didn’t overload all of you. I hope you have a great class session and I would love to help if you ever need it.
