Suah R is a 17-year-old Korean girl who has lived in China since the age of six. She attends Dulwich College Beijing and is fluent in English, Korean, and Chinese, with aspirations to learn more languages in the future to aid her travels.
Suah is passionate about writing short stories, and exploring fiction such as movies, books, and TV shows. She is an avid reader, with “No Longer Human” and “The Picture of Dorian Gray” among her favorite books, and is particularly interested in exploring social issues reflected throughout different literature.
Through this internship, Suah is keen to use her writing to make a difference in society, contributing to the international community in Beijing while reclaiming her Korean identity. She is passionate about raising awareness of social justice issues such as feminism and socioeconomic inequalities and uses her skills, including writing and critical theory, in hopes of making a difference. This is channeled through debate, which she loves: actively engaging in and discussing ideas with her peers, she has judged and taken part in many different competitions, such as her school’s Model United Nations and Asian Parliamentary-style debates, which she begun at the age of 11. Her favourite memories include the school community, such as her Politics class discussions and judging school showcase debates. Using these skills, Suah aims to pursue careers and majors in related fields, such as Global Politics, Sociology, and English Literature, and hopes that she can promote these values in the future.
