Advertisement Project for Helping Japan

My the last project was Advertisement  Project for helping Japan. It was quite interesting and difficult because I didn't know Windows Movie Maker Program before, and also its version has very different kind versions of window environment in computer. Nevertheless, I thought this project was helped me and valuable to do, so I liked doing this the last project with my team, Park, Kaori, Obah, Jinsook, James. Especially, When Kaori, Obah and I took the video of the last part of Ad in computer room, we had enjoyable time together and It left me with unforgettable memories even though this part made very unnatural and awkward performance. During I take my English class, I met quite kind and generous people and also they have splendid diverse abilities, indeed I liked this class and my teacher.

Pray to End of Abortion(40daysforlife.com)

I am Roman Catholic and support the Pro-life movement, so I am demonstrating against abortion in front of some medical center every Tuesday during the 40 days, from the Ash Wednesday to Easter.

In fact, when I was in Korea, I didn't know about the Pro-life. Additionally, I wasn't Roman Catholic before six months the day came to the U.S. But I didn't do abortion, on the other hand, I had a miscarriage two times.therefore, I always thank God to give my children.

In case of my country, Many women had abortion many times because the baby inside them was daughter or didn't want to delivery. Furthermore, some woman who I know was forced to be abortion two times from her mother-in-law. As a result, her body became weak and she had a hard time with her husband.

Similarly, My sister-in-law came close to get divorced with husband by her mother-in-law. Indeed, It was a quite sad story. Nevertheless, she fortunately lives very well with her family and her daughter got well.

Some people don't like me about supporting ban abortion. For example, if a woman who was sexually assaulted has a baby, what can she do? It is difficult to decide to not being abortion. I don't know exactly what to do. Nevertheless, I am willing to continuously demonstrate ban abortion. Why? I think that a baby inside mother is beloved human and living baby.

What's your favorite's word in your life?

On 9th March 2011, I learned about religion in American life and talked about diversity of religions. There are many religions in the world. I am Roman Catholic. Among them, I have never known some new words: atheism, reincarnation.

Ms. Towhidi asked us " What's your favorite's word in your life? " Each classmate said one word. There are many diversity words in each life. Only my brain don't move to think about that. When I go to church and have Mass, I always feel God's mercy, love, peace and I have profound gratitude for God. So I try to live with these words, especially with appreciate everything every day. But I forgot all of them.

We wrote these words inside "life" letter and put it on the wall. It is interesting experience for me.

Leadership - Hero's journey by John Lbrown and cerylle

A person on a heroic journey must have the ability and willingness to function as a member of a team.

Fullan states it the way “There is a ceiling effect on how much we can learn if we keep to ourselves. The ability to collaborate-on both a small and large scale- is becoming one of the core requisites of post-modern society. People need one another to learn and to accomplish things.”

 In my opinion, it is true and significant in my life. When I worked in Korea, the follower didn’t collaborate with the others and interrupted some tasks, so the other workers had a hard time doing their tasks. Furthermore, the lack of the ability to collaborate can separate teamwork. People have diversity, different of abilities and then when they work, they can get the great results as doing cooperatively than individually. The things that collabolate together can make impossible things possible.

News

Hanamama and I read a article about helping for health from News, so interviewed each other while becoming reporter and instructor. At the first, we wrote our news as the following directions " who, how, where, when, what, why". And then we recorded the news for less three minutes. While Hanamama and I read the article, when we didn't know some words, we helped each other find out the meaning, so It was good experience to me and I felt relations with her was much closer. Our news is the below.

Let's try it.  "Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!"  "Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!" It's so funny and interesting!
The first time, your feeling is awkward, but you repeat more and more, you feel more comportable. You might be less stressed as use fake laughter.

Thank you for your time. Did you see how to laugh?

It's real stress buster and proof or no proof that's nothing to laugh at.

Gwanak mountain

Chunggye mountain

My hometown is one of the best cities with many advantages which like people to live in suburban. First, it is located by two big mountains, which are famous for beautiful rocks, natural forest and autumn maple foliage.  Also, it is convenient for residents to go to work their urban office. It takes about for 10 minutes by car or bus or metro. Furthermore, on the other side of the city are many amusement parks and the National Science Museum, where people can enjoy playing with family and learning academic education at the same time. These three advantages are truly important and make my hometown a favorite city to live.
