They Eat With Their Mouths: a personal essay on growing up Korean American.
Justin Hahn, HS '12, is a second-generation Korean-American. Much of his free time is dedicated to the pursuit of his
nationally competitive fencing career or volunteering at his local Korean Presbyterian church. Recently, Justin won the
American Voices medal in the 2011 National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for his memoir titled "They Eat With Their
Mouths," drawing upon his experiences growing up in an English-speaking household and visiting the various Korean
restaurants in Queens.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together
to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion
and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently
organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx
events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
