Nice to meet you, I'm Hanna

Thank you for everything you do and please please keep going!"

"상세한 답변 정말 감사드립니다! Pre-OPT에 대한 정보가 얼마 없었고, 신청한 사람도 주변에 별로 없었는데, 정말 많은 도움이 됐습니다. … 이걸 중점으로 학교에 잘 물어봐야겠습니다. 새해복 많이 받으시고 다시 한번 감사드려요! Thank you for the detailed answer! I barely knew about the Pre-OPT and there are only so many people around me who applied for the Pre OPT, so this post is a great help. I will reach out to my school based on what you wrote. I wish you happy holidays and again thank you so much!"
