It is always difficult to go against conventions. I like the fact that you have found your own path in life instead of accepting the “preferred” path.

But after awhile, they accepted it but have taken to reminding me that I better get a job after I graduate. I wish you luck with your writing. Just be determined!

Memorable, simple, some may even say “common”, but still very noteworthy…like Adams, as in Douglas Adams. And everyone knows his accomplishment was not only to write one of the greatest Science Fiction novels ever (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), but subsequently to answer the age-old mystery of the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. (Hellooooo? 42?) I’d say you’re well on your way, my friend. And p.s….your heartfelt and revealing letter puts my drivel to shame. For the record, Kim is a great last name for an author.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to grow up with a parent that literally was from a different side of the world. And your name looks just fine next to all of those.
