there is no better place for me than KMLA..?

Q.

there is no better place for me than KMLA. At this very moment, there is NOWHERE i'd rather be . Really..?





A.

I am sure that there is no better high schools than KMLA for me in Korea. I have always hated the atmosphere that 'force' students to study since I was very young and had always dreamed of dropping out of school where 'I' am never respected as I am. (I got to hate it since I was objected to major in arts by many adults though I had started drawing since I was 4 and was actually good at it just because 'I won't make much money if I major in design".) KMLA was a place where I actually 'escaped' from those forceful atmosphere as I thought I would be able to do what I want to do more freely than other places. I am completely satisfied with what I am doing in KMLA since I must not have been able to do activities like designing T-shirt, newspaper, and newsletter, taking photos, and running a play if I were in normal high schools. However, I don't think there is NOWHERE I'd rather be but KMLA in this 'very moment' since I do not think I am not doing my best as I am not fully showing my potential because I am going through a hard time. I feel guilty to stay here as I am not in a condition to do the best as my parents are paying a lot of money for me so that I can stay here. I wish I can come the school back after resting for about 1 month.

  1. In the words of Finding Nemo (the blue fish): Keep on swimming, swimming, swimming! Every student will feel this way at some point, and if they don't they are anomalies. It's always good to think about the sacrifice parents make for education, but it shouldn't be something that makes you feel guilty or the reason you try harder. If you are able to balance things you love with things you like and also manage the things you "dislike" while at KMLA, then you are doing something right. Sounds like you are doing much better than you think you are just by thinking these things constructively.

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...

Being older

 Many people agree that just 'aging' doesn't mean 'being older''. In past, though I totally agreed that an increase of years people have lived isn't equal to being 'old', I couldn't define it by myself. However, now, I definitely know how old people are different from young people.  My friends in KMLA are very sensitive to what is 'wrong'. While many students in our age merely follow what the school and society says, we know how to make our voice to criticize an unreasonable thing. In a process of finding out problems and criticizing them, we improve by learning ways to convey our opinions and standards to decide what is wrong and right. I think this is what 'young people' do. They mentally develop by recognizing problems and making their own voices to fix them. They are never satisfied with what they have but try to make their situation 'best' by fixing them by their own power.  However, old people do not even try t...

Essence material

      Hye Won, who was busy adapting to a high school that she haven't gone for a year, was surprised when housemaster called her name to remind her that she didn't take her parcel. Thinking that her parents might have sent her a parcel, she went down to a lobby to take it. However, parcel was too small to say that her parents sent it since parents told her that they would send a lot of snacks in a big box. Plus, the sender's name on the box was weird - 'dung u ri deul (덩어리들)'. Since everything about the parcel was saying that it was not for her, she suspected that housemaster called a wrong name for an instant, but the recipient name on the box was definitely hers - the only name in the school. Therefore, she just decided to take it and check what it is. Maybe, she would be able to remember the parcel that she ordered a long time ago but cannot remember.      'Hello, master! It's nice to meet you :) '  A small note with this message was the first thin...
