Bobby Kim expressed his empathy, stating, "I know how you feel."  He talked about his own hardships while attending school: "I went to America when I was two-years-old.  Racial discrimination was severe.  I was made fun of simply because of my appearance . . . Every day, I prayed, 'I really hope they will tease me less today,' before going to school.  However, as soon as I got to school, they would all point at me and ridicule me."
