#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)

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.

Actually, it is a privilege!

             "There is always something we can learn from tradition" This is what my parents always say (that I cannot totally agree) whenever I complain about conservative, patriarchal tradition of Korean holiday, Chuseok and New years day. Every time I go to grandfather's house in Korean holiday, I feel disgust to see scene that shows radical patriarchal tradition of Korea. Only women work in kitchen as soon as they arrive in grandfather's house, and men watch TV in living room, seems not to even 'consider' helping women. However, women are the last to eat meal since they are allowed to eat after they finish cleaning a kitchen and has to set the men's table first. The difficulty that women go through when they eat does not end here. Since men use much larger table for eating even though they are fewer than women, women have to eat in a small table in a huddle. Though they ache in joints because of intense labor in a kitchen, they can't even st

Do you have a lollipop moment?

 In a TED talk with a title "Everyday leadership" by Drew Dudley, Dudley talks about a lollipop moment, a moment where someone said or did something that people feel fundamentally made their life better. He shares a moment that he gave a lollipop moment to other person, which he couldn't not remember and talks a necessity to redefine leadership as lollipop moment.   Actually, I don't have a memory of making other people's life fundamentally better by my own words and behaviors. However, I have a moment that my life became better by other person's words, and want to share it through this post.   Before I came here, Korean Minjok Leadership Academy, I could not believe God though I have gone to church on Sundays since I was born and had a Bible study almost everyday from my parents who were sincere christians. Though I always prayed and sung hymns with my mouth, my heart never thought I was doing them with sincerity. I was just pretending to be a fa

Dormitory alone

     I throw myself on my bed being exhausted. I can hear my roommates under me talking loudly about food they are going to eat in home during weekends. Wishing the dormitory weekend menus to be good, I close my eyes for a short sleep until the first self study time begins.   Surprised with a large sound coming out from my alarm clock, I wake up. The total silence in a whole room makes me hard to believe that only 30 minutes have passed from the moment that the whole dormitory was full of sound of students being excited about going home. I consider sleeping for a whole self study for a moment, but I soon make up my mind and get out of the bed since I know dormitory teacher always look around the empty dormitory in order to check whether students cleaned their room before they leave.   I slowly put books in to study during the first self study time in my bag and go up to a cafeteria, my favorite place to study. A cafeteria which is usually full of students preparing for presentat
