#about me


(Before I start this writing, i want to make sure that I really don't know well about myself.)



1.

I am a normal 18-year-old girl who live in KMLA, a high school that I've desperately dreamed of for 1 years in middle school. Before I came here, I assured that I am person who SHOULD study liberal arts, but now, I am thinking of majoring biology. The main reason why I changed my mind to study natural science is because I didn't have confidence to study liberal arts in 'English' in foreign university. (I lost a confidence in English a lot in last semester as I had a difficulty in English writing in two literature classes-brit lit and AP lit.) Although I am far behind many students who have studied biology long time since I started to learn biology deeply in SAT biology class in this school, I think I would not change my major anymore.

I am not sure what job I want to have in future, but I am considering being a doctor in England for now. To achieve that goal, I am doing my best in my own way to get into biomedical department in university in England. (I am more attracted to England universities than US universities)



2.

My hobby is to take pictures and acting, that are the only things that make me happy in the school. This semester, I am planning to take identification pictures of KMLAians and make a play in a acting club, 'Life is drama(LID)'. I sometimes enjoy writing about my emotions in my Korean blog because it makes me organize my thought and relieve the stress. Excitement of Reading comments written by people whom I don't know is another reason that makes me post on my 'another' blog.

I once really love playing volleyball, but now, I don't like it after getting too much stress in a school volleyball team. I got to know that I can enjoy the volleyball only if i do not get a oppression that I have to do it well.

I came to decide to listen to this class because I desperately thought it is necessary for me to practice 'English writing' first before taking literature class as I realized I am really bad at English writing in last semester. Also, after reading a syllabus of this class, I thought I could gain an interest to write in English as I got interested in writing in Korean by making a post on a blog consistently

I wish I could achieve my goal through this class

    Good first post. I like the point by point break down. Now, for practice, look again, and consider: How could I transition from point to point with last and first points in each paragraph? Hmmm.
    As for taking Brit Lit and AP Lit in the same semester.... with two teachers who really love those topics... ALWAYS going to be tough. Especially if your wave doesn't have the core writing classes like former waves do. But don't worry about it too much and just keep chipping away and getting better by reading and writing and writing and reading. This time next year you will see A LOT of improvement when you have to take communicative style writing A LOT more seriously for college applications. The UK is always a sensible option for students who really know what they want, and indeed LAC approach can frustrate some students.

Why you should...

Speech 2 Prompt: Why you should.... Come up with a title using the above, and state it at the beginning of your speech. Keep in mind that this is basically open topic, and can be either a warning against something or a positive piece of advice. I suggested KMLA, but you mostly voted to make it open. My advice: Write it out completely and follow a Journey/Character Arc and segment it into a Memory Palace with CLEARLY defined segments. Requirments: You must use ONE MEANGINGFUL PAUSE in your speech. I will demonstrate this. You must make use of at least one segment of DIALOGUE.0  You must use the expression - "For the love of god" one time. 0 You must use REPETITION at least once. Ex: "Maybe it was because the weather was rainy. Maybe it was because my shoes were wet. Maybe it was because my umbrella was broken. But clearly, the weather made my mood only worse, so I screamed at my brother." 0  Have fun, don't be afraid to read from a paper if you aren't fully c...

To God.

  To God. God, I decided not to trust you anymore. I feel like you are merely an illusion now. I feel like ‘full faith on you’ that people talk about is a result of self-brainwashing. When I confessed this to mom, a committed Christian, she seemed to be very angry. Maybe, she felt like I was telling her like this. ‘congratulations! You succeeded brainwashing yourself into believing that a fake is a real!’ Of course, I didn’t mean it, but everyone whom I confessed this reacted similarly. In fact, there was a person who showed a different reaction from others. My friend, B, told me that a faith is not what I can have just because I want it, but what you present to people who crave for it and all I can do now is to pray for that faith. But I can’t believe it either. What is faith exactly? Isn’t it just a result of giving up having a question on your existence and hypnotizing myself that you are a real? I can’t even believe that millions of people who don’t be...

Now I know.

 A grim-faced girl who is waving her hands violently to get a taxi on streets. Her red face was soaked with tears continuously falling down. Because she couldn't breathe properly, she had to keep making weird noise trying to breathe. Everybody passing her by was glancing at her wondering what is wrong with her. Some of them might have wondered whether they should help her, but they could not get close to her easily because she seemed to be out of mind. She seemed literally crazy.   This was how I looked when I heard that dad collapsed and was rushed to the emergency room from mom on the phone. Because she told me that I should keep it secret from my little sister, I had to suppress my surprise in house and burst into tears on streets, getting taxi to go to a hospital dad's in.   "God, please secure him."   In a taxi, I kept praying to god wishing him to be safe. I wished it was a slight sickness.   "Mom! Is he okay? Can I see him?"  I as...
