I'm Sunnie. I was born on February 23, 1989 in Springfield VA. You will learn a lot more about me if you keep scrolling down, so do it.
My Family
My Family Consists of my mother, Jee, father, Ben and sister Genie.
- My mother is a teacher at the Goddard School. She teaches children ages two through four. She has won multiple teaching awards and has generally been considered very good at what she does.
- My father is an engineer and alumni of the University of Maryland. After living many years in a turmoil, he was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. Thankfully, he is now recovering back to a normal life.
- My sister Genie is 22 years old and just graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is now working in Washington D.C for Corporate UPS.
- We lived with my grandparents in Springfield VA until I was in eighth grade when they decided to retire to California. My mom, sister and I still live in Springfield in a different community.
- Our family owned a Hallmark Store called K's Hallmark until 2003. The store was primarily owned by my grandfather Yong and Grandmother Won who passed away this past March.
My Education
- Orange Hunt Elementary School.
- Washington Irving Middle School. This school is well known around my community and around the nation because of the infamous Rock. The rock is painted almost every month of the year and has accumulated over four inches of paint. A piece of the rock was even taken into space in 2001.
- West Springfield High School.
- Dickinson College. The best school ever.
My Sports and Hobbies
I began my sports escapade in third grade when I began to play slow pitch softball. I then played basketball starting in fifth grade and was convinced that I wanted to play in college. After playing Varsity Basketball at a state contending school, I decided i didn't have the skills to play in college. Thats when i found my niche in Lacrosse. I won numerous awards during my high school career such as...
- First Team All Northern Virginia Region
- Honorable Mention All Met
- Honorable Mention All American
- All Fairfax Extra Washington Post
My high school also won it's first Patriot District Championship my senior year. I also set the record at the school for number of goals in a season (73).

I also love to rock climb, play tennis and eat a lot of different kinds of foods.
My favorite channels to watch on T.V are: Food Network, The Discovery Channel, The History Channel and ESPN. My favorite show of all time is Man vs. Wild even though people say that the show is fake. I love Bear Grylls and will marry him wone day.

My Friends
Since i was in kindergarten, I have had the same six best friends. We all love the movie "The Goonies" and watched it all the time when we were younger. Hence, we call ourselves "The Sproonies," (the Springfield-Goonies.)

I have made a lot of great new friends at Dickinson also. My floor mates are wonderful and are helping me adjust to this brand new environment.
