Leave Korea

I reviewed about my memory and I remembered about one of my sad story. About 1 and half years ago, I came to Malaysia, which also means I left Korea at that time. The reason was because of my dad’s business. So I needed to leave my friends, families (relatives), and my school. It was really hard for me to leave my important people and my country. I was afraid the day we went to the Malaysia.

On the last day of school, the weather was terrible. It was raining also lightening. Also my feeling was dark. I needed to leave my class after 2nd period. I felt melancholy when the time came closer and closer. When the 2nd period started, I could feel I had a headache. So I asked my teacher I went to the nurse. When I went to the nurse, all the classmates were prepared for my good-bye party. They drew some pictures and comments on the blackboard, and prepared a video and letters from each classmate. When I came back to my class, one boy saw me and cried “Hey guys! She’s back!” Just then, all classmates gazed to me and stopped what they were doing. First time, I didn’t notice why they looked surprised, but I understood when I saw the blackboard. The blackboard was filled with scribbles. ‘Bye Jiwon!’, ‘See you later~’, ‘I’ll miss you~~ T-T’. And they drew some pictures. The teacher ordered sit down to everyone and she played a video. The video was several people recorded it for say goodbye to me. I felt thankful to my classmates and teacher. Next, she gave me roll of papers. I opened it, and finally I knew these papers were letters from my classmates and teacher. The teacher called one of my best friends and ordered her to read her letter to me. She wrote really well… After my good-bye party finished, teacher said how you feel. I… I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t express how to say goodbye to my classmates also teacher. I was babbling like an idiot. I tried not to cry. Thankfully, some boys made a joke like ‘Hey! Jiwon! Acting!! Cry Acting!!’ so I could pass this difficult moment.

The time was never waiting for me. It came. It’s time to leave this school, teachers, and friends… I needed to go home quickly and helping people to move our stuff. I told my teacher that I need to go, and at last, all the students and teacher said goodbye to me. I replied and slowly came out the classroom and went down the stairs. Just then my best friends ran towards me and said goodbye again. And then, we hugged. I’ll never forget this moment.
When I arrived home, almost all the stuff was packed. My younger brother walked towards me. He was crying. He looked sorrowful that he can’t meet his friends forever… (?) ‘Well… It is really sad thing…’ I thought. I soothed my brother. “It’s okay. You can connect with them when you want. And you can make new friends there!” But… also I miss my friends!!! I wish we could have a chance to visit Korea, I want to see my friends!!!

Interview with my dad

I interviewed my dad for my adolescence project. So I could know many things about my dad. First, I knew that time, the world was divide Democratic and Communist, so all the high school students needed to learn the military training. It's call Cold War. Also that time, in 1973~1975 was the First Oil Shock. So the oil price was raised in the world. And the last thing I knew is when my dad was in teen-age, he likes to go hiking or traveling around with his rucksack(backpack). Nowadays also he enjoying the hiking very much!

FRIM Trip ( Canopy Walk)

Last week, all the 7th graders went to FRIM for 2 days and 1 night. FRIM is located in KL, and it was my first time to go the rainforest and camp. We did lots of activities on the 2days and 1night. My most favorite activity was the ‘Canopy Walk.’ I didn’t know what a Canopy Walk was before we did it on the trip. But after I heard what the canopy walk was a shaking bridge on the top of mountain – I didn’t worry about the bridge, but I worried about the hiking.
We went to the Canopy Walk on last day. We saw huge bamboo trees when we started to climb the mountain. The guide said, this bamboo tree came from Myanmar, and the flower of this tree is really hard to see. Luckily, we saw the flowers. The hiking was too hard for me. The slope was steep, so my legs were numb. I looked down my legs many times to see of there was a leech. The reason I was worried because I wore shorts. My water bottle became empty, but my lips wanted to keep drinking water. It was a hard time for me. Finally we arrived at the Canopy Walk. It was quite long, and looked really shaky. For safety, 5 people went together. No more than 5 people! Finally, it was my turn. First I stepped on one foot. It was quite shaky! I felt like it was an earthquake starting. I tried not to look down, but my eyes moved and looked down automatically. It was SO high! Maybe the height was more than 100m! But luckily, I don’t have acrophobia, so I adapted to this situation and enjoyed walking. I felt good when I stood on the bridge because I liked having the feeling of flying space. I turned around and watched the view of KL. I could see KLCC twin towers! I tried to find my house and I found my house in the fog. I felt delightful and I wanted to go home quickly. When I finished the Canopy Walk, I really wanted to do it again. It was so much fun, and it will be a good memory for me. I’ll never forget the Canopy Walk and also the FRIM trip!

' When I get older ' story

* This is just a story. Not real!

The generation changed. It became more comfortable than when I was young teenager. Especially the electronic products were developed than the past. So my daughter and son have a class on the internet. It is a Cyber School. They can meet teachers and friends on the internet. They only go to the school when they have important test. Also when I was sick in the past, I would go to the hospital and check my health, but now I can check my health in home on the internet. The doctor sees the patient through the monitor and prescribes to the patient. Also, robots are really useful in nowadays. They are helping a family affair and dangerous works for people. I have one robot for family affairs, so I can enjoy my hobbies when the robot is doing my work.
Nowadays, the life is easier than when I was young, but sometimes I feel I want to go back the past. Because that time, we needed to do our work ourselves, so we had responsibility for our work. But in today, the technology was developed, so we didn’t need to do hardworking. The reason is we can just sit in front of computer, and it makes our work easier. So, people will become lazy. I think excessive things are not good for us.
