Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.60,0:05:16.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought more people would help me.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.65,0:05:20.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it was harder than living in North Korea,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.66,0:05:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I was not free.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.36,0:05:25.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was always worried about being caught

Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.88,0:06:09.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I barely finished elementary school.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.59,0:06:12.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I remember I fought in school more than once a day.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.89,0:06:16.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Textbooks and the library were not my playground.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.36,0:06:45.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in America, it was kind of ridiculous
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.16,0:06:48.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they said I should go to high school.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.19,0:06:50.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't even go to middle school.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.48,0:07:12.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I decided against it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.97,0:07:15.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I looked down at my plate,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.00,0:07:35.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Suddenly I remembered my biological father.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.85,0:07:38.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My foster father's small act of love
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.82,0:07:41.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,reminded me of my father,
