Students in Mrs. Lemmon Hoffman’s American History and World History classes recently welcomed guest speaker Kye-Won Doyle for a meaningful discussion connecting classroom learning with real-life experiences.
In American History, students have been studying the requirements for becoming a citizen today compared to those in the 1890s and early 1900s. Kye-Won shared her personal journey of immigrating from South Korea and the process of becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States, offering students valuable insight into the modern citizenship experience.
With the World History class, she discussed totalitarianism in North Korea and how it has affected her family, particularly in the years following the Korean War.
Thank you to Kye-Won for sharing her story and helping bring history to life for our students!
