Thirty things about me
1.
Daegu
I was born in Daegu. Actually, I moved around a lot after I was
born. I was in Daegu, Daejeon, Seoul, Gangwon-Do, and so on. I could experience
a lot and I have a lot of photographs of me in many places.
2.
Volleyball
I believe this
word describes one third of my life at KMLA. I have devoted tremendous amount
of time in volleyball. I can dare to say that volleyball club could stand up
again due to me. This might seem haughty but Mr. Sung also knows my
accomplishments since the men’s volleyball club achieved a prize for the first
time under my lead.
3.
Soccer
Soccer also
describes one third of my life in KMLA. I have started playing soccer when I
was in elementary school. However, in school, I could make many friends by
playing soccer at the beginning of the semester.
4.
Friendship
This is the last word that would fill up for the missing third of my
life at KMLA. I can proudly say that there is at least one friend that can put
everything else beside for me. Because of this friend, I believe my life at
KMLA was easy for me to go through.
5.
Life motto #1
This motto has been the first that I have tried to live up to. My
life motto number 1 is ‘Live your life happily all the time.’ Maybe this motto
might be the reason why I smile often.
6.
Life motto #2
‘Do not do things I will regret.’ This motto is another motto that
enabled me to do all the things I have wanted to. I believe that there will not
be many chances for me to do in the future. Thus, I have always chosen to act
first when there are goals I wanted to reach.
7.
Academics.
I know that the student’s primary focus should be on studying.
However, maybe because of my life motto number one and two, I was interested
more in athletics and chose to focus more on athletics. However, I do not
regret my choice because I believe I have gained priceless experiences due to
sports.
8.
FFT
For and From Them. This is a name for volunteer group that goes to
India every year. We get a chance to volunteer to little children to teach them
what they cannot experience easily such as painting and origami. Since we have
to cut all the materials since children cannot use scissors, we have to do lots
of work. I believe that my personality grew up a lot going to India.
9.
Student guidance
I had to stand
up almost every day in front of the school to catch late people. Although
burdensome, I could feel the weight of responsibility doing works related with
student guidance.
10.
Robot
When I was
young, I played with numerous robot toys my father bought for me. Since I was
in contact with robots since I was young, my interest for robot gradually grew
up. I went to many robot competitions and I could see lots of types of robots and
foster my dream as a robot engineer.
11.
Physics
My grade at
Physics is not good. However, I kept on studying Physics maybe because of my
dream as robot engineer or my refusal to yield in. And now I am taking AP
Physics C and I am surprised that I am enjoying physics.
12.
Simplicity
Most of my
friends tell me that I am simple. I agree. I do not like complex situations or
complex people. I want the situations to be easy to organize. Complex
situations usually create many misunderstandings. Thus, I do not like
complexity.
13.
Health
This word is the word I focus the most. I believe that health is the
most important aspect in life. Without health, I believe that people cannot
live happily.
14.
Sacrifice
I made many
sacrifices in this school. Before coming to KMLA, I did not have to think about
sacrifices. However, I had to give up my position and time and energy for many
reasons after coming to this school.
15.
Food
I like to eat a
lot. One of the best things for me in this school is good food. I can eat
delicious food in this school. Cool!
16.
Leadership
The school’s full name is Korean Minjok Leadership Academy. I
believe that this school has fostered my leadership through numerous
activities. However, being a captain in volleyball team made my leadership grow
the most.
17.
Tsundere
Well… This word is not what I think of myself. But my friends told
me that I am Tsundere a lot of times. I do not really know why they call me as
this.
18.
Weepinball
I like this name that my friends gave me. I also believe that this
Pokemon looks like me.
19.
Ability to be serious when I
need to be
I try hard to make the atmosphere of volleyball club very fun and
bright. However, I believe that all sports need some parts when we need to be
serious in order to advance. Thus, I usually make the volleyball fun but I
become serious when I need to be.
20.
Straightedness
I am a person who do not really like hiding feelings and words. I
just say what I feel towards people whether they might like it or not.
21.
Love
To be honest, I am writing this because I ran out of topics… From
many tryouts, I have concluded that I am too young to love HaHa…
22.
Strict
I am a person who does not compromise with others. I usually make
standards for choices and follow those lines.
23.
Positive
Since I try to enjoy my life all the time, I live positively! I
laugh a lot and smile a lot. Well, I think that it is never bad to be
optimistic!
24.
Loyalty
I believe I am
faithful to friends. Once I make friends, I try to stick to them. I believe
their words over others’.
25.
Astray
I did not follow my parents’ words many times. I believe that I have
strayed a lot. However, I also believe that straying a lot made me grow up a
lot.
26.
Candy
I like candies. A lot! I am running out of ideas… ARGH.
27.
KMLA
This school I believe is the biggest luck that came to me. All the
invaluable experiences came from this school. I hope that I can make a lot out
of this school this year as well.
28.
Puberty
I am not sure whether if I went through puberty or not. I still
fight a lot with my parents to be honest. Through puberty, I hope I grow up a
lot!
29.
Canada
I was in Canada when I was in 5th grade in elementary
school. The memories will never be forgotten and I absolutely will keep on
contacting with my foreign friends
30.
Mr. Garrioch
I love you! I
hope this statement makes up for the last one.^^
Um, I really like the robot thingy.
답글삭제I'm not saying you should delve into academics about robots, but how about a nice metaphor regarding robots? Maybe you could say that you see a lot of yourself in robots or something. I bet you have made some very interesting robots so far.
my brother wants to be a robot engineer, too. Though I know nothing about robots, it was amazing to look at robot fights:)
답글삭제Experiences in FFT, volleyball team, department of school guidance must be interesting and have different things to show yourself.
I think you should write about volleyball and your passion for it. Or possibly how you played volleyball with the Indian kids during FFT (although it's a bit false.) I also do think that mentioning your passion for robotics is very nice as well, but I don't think that it would be good to incorporate student guidance.
답글삭제Dear Jason,
답글삭제I would like you to write an essay that starts with you "catching" students who are late as the "student guidance" leader (#9). This is your "hook" where you present the image of that process (which is kind of ridiculous and says a lot about dorm life at KMLA). When you are done with that, one of your best friends #4 - who was late - will call you "tsunder" (#17) - which will then cause you to think about your LIFE Motto #5 and your trip to India #8.
So, think of this as an "image" based essay presenting an "inner flow" of thought that provides the reader a "snap shot" of who YOU are in various contrasting images. A mosaic of you as stand at the dormitory doors and think about your three years at KMLA. Good luck and have fun! Really think about thinking.
Study Jason
