“I am Seo-Yun Lee, but people call me by Esther. I am currently a chemistry major student at University of Detroit Mercy. I am a rising junior involved in the seven-year dental program. After graduation, I plan to become a dentist. An interesting fact about myself is that I have a twin sister. She is currently an undergraduate student in Korea University.”
