William's essay 2

     Have you guys ever seen american drama? There are lots of great america drama, but I want to talk about my favorite drama named " 24 ". 8 seasons are broadcasted from 2001 through 2010. 8 seasons were broadcasted at FOX channel. The drama was really popular at the time, but it ended with season 8.  I have got few shocks and I changed some views of values. I will intoduce about the drama and talk about my feelings and what I've got from the drama below.
     The genre of 24 is action and thriller. The type of describing the event in the drama is very unique. The whole event occurs in a full day(24 hours). So the title of the drama is 24. And there are 24 episodes for every seasons. Each episode shows what happened in one hour. The main character is Jack Bauer. He works for the CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit). This place is where tries to find out when and where the terror will occur and protect Ameica from the terrors. There are few situations when it is very urgent and deperate to torture the terrorists and find out where terror will occur. But in America, tourturing is illegal and if they need to torture the criminals, they need to get permissions from the court and report to superior office. This process takes too long to stop the terror, so Jack Bauer just tortures terrorists and save America from the terror. But after few situations like that happened , Jack Bauer was accused by the government because he broke the rules and it was a controversy between all over the world. But he overcome the problem and protect America 8 times from the terrors. There are lots of action scenes and twist scenes (that you couldn't have imagined at all). I have seen 24 from season 1 to 8 for 6 times. It took me for 2 and a half years.
     How I got shocks from the drama is that I have never seen him like Jack Bauer. He loses everything he has even his wife and many friends. But he didn't quit his job. He continues to work for the country and refuse to be a betrayer. His body was not normal at all. He was caught by chinese and worked in a hard factory for 2 years. Also, he was tortured by the terrorists really lots of times. Not just his body, his mind was completely ruined by the terrorists who killed Jack's families and friends. But he works for the country. I was really surprised and got shocks from his loyalty to the country. I thought about the government's act toward Jack and I was really sad. I decided to not to betray people who saved me and helped me before.
     Also, I was really struck by the cinematic quality. The author made really good foreshadows and twists. There are some situations that I coud not have thought about in the drama. I like reversals. And the action scenes are so realistic. Kiefer Sutherland took the roll of Jack Bauer in the drama. Even though he was born in 1966 and very old for action movies, he acts really good and fights really well. Moreover, the author had made good foreshadows. So the reason why I watch 24 over and over is because I know the story so I could find the foreshadows which the author had made. I really enjoyed finding foreshaodows. And not only the terrorist's story is in the drama, but also happening in a real world is in the drama, too. Such as love between field agents who works for CTU or how to educate their children. So I couldn't have felt any distances between the drama and me.
     The drama 24 is really amazing drama. I want to watch it more and more. It ended with the season 8 at 2010, but it was so popular, so 24 will be made in a movie in 2013. I am really looking forward to see the movie. I got good influences from the drama even though it was action and thriller. I decided not to betray people who helped me. And I will give people my word for only things that I can keep.

Ben's Essay 2

I think that it is very easy to be addicted to America drama. America drama is really exiting, interesting, active, wonderful and awesome. There scale is really really big. It can not be compare with Korea drama. I don't watch drama often. but I watched Prison break all night long. I really really recommend everybody to watch Prison break. Now, i will tell you about Prison break.
Prison break's genre is suspend. This drama's actual purpose was to fill up the blank famous drama 24's blank in each season for short drama. but it gained so many popularity than expected, so it extended to more seasons. The Fox, America's broadcasting station has made it, and it has been broadcasted until season 4. 
Let's tell about it's story. In the first season Michael Scofield go to prison, named Fox River on purpose to rescue his brother, named  Lincoln Burrows who is arrested for killing the brother of Vice president of the United States and waiting for capital punishment . so Michael tattoo all of his plan to rescue his brother in all body. So he escape form prison with  Fernando Sucre, 
T-Bag, C-Note, Tweener, John Abruzzi and Haywire. They are all criminals. so FBI is in eager to catch them.
  In second season, They go each other's way, but someone killed by Mahone who is in FBI, and caught. They also betray each other so many times. They go Utah to find 5 million dollar to use money when escaping to Mexico where Police can not catch them. There is also season 3 and 4, and i can tell you about that, but if i tell it, it could decrease its fun. Michael and Lincoln, those two brothers are doing their best to uncover the plot of The Company, where has really strong power that can control USA. 
I really recommend this drama. If you watch one, you can not stop watching. I was also like that, so i watched it for all night.
but there is a problem that it's completeness is going lower and lower. because of there was a trouble between the Fox and drama writer. I was fell in Michael Scofield's charm. He is very smart !! I will show you picture of Prison break. I really hope everybody to watch this.But not in exam period. Let's watch Prison break tonight!!  Yeah!!

My favorite book.

   My favorite literlature is a 'Ressurection' that is written by a russian novelist Tolstoy.To illustrate the breif of the story, a noble named Nekhlyudov, did wrong thing to his lover, and just went away to the army, giving some money to his lover at the same time. Tragically, because of the shock he gave, Mechussa, his lover, become prositute. After years, Mechussa became a criminal by a mistake, Nekhlydov eventually attend to the trial and realise the sin he have made. Nekhlydov struggles to restore his conscience  and recover his lovers from that moment and that's the story. I was fascinated by this book because this was my almost first literlatue I have met in lifetime, and it taught me about 'what human is', and it stroke my conscience as a christian.
  In early days, I was able to read  a good completed literlatue in my home, but refused to read it instead of cheating for a school homework copying the summary in the very end of the book. But, after meeting a teacher who gave me great passion about the reading, I started to read a book of philosophy by my own. But after realizing the fact that If I was going toread a book in depth, I should began from the beginning, a literlature. So I choose the book from a public library in local area. It was a hard task to read a literlature about more than 600 pages (maybe?) which is divided in two part. I struggled for it, and suddenly I was able to recognize myself that I was really enjoying it and influenced by it much. This book gave me a joy of literlature first time.
   In addition, as my mother said in past days, a literlature showed me the true intrinsic of a human's mind. This book describes the people who are corrupted by a system that divides people who are wealth and poor.  Moreover, this book shows almost every aspects of human hypocrisy. While reading the book, I thought every second 'I will not be like this person.' Thus, this book helped me to look inside of the human's complicated  mind. But I couldn't disagree with a fact that actually I was justifying my wealthness (not only a physical matter) and didn't tried to reform my rutified life.
   Last but not least, I was been compeletely striken my conscience after reading this book. A protagonist named  Nekhlyudov, similarly he was reflecting my struggle for conscience, but more fiercely and truly. He gave up his every property and gave it to the tenant. He ends up his immoral life and gives his whole life for who is poor, weak, innocent. Despite of the temptations, he never made a compromise at the end, and purely live for the people with the joy that God gave to him.
I felt this is impossible. But isn't it the life I should live? Throwing away the self-centered life but neighbor-centered, and always struggling for the conscience and don't sitting on the sidelines when people's are suffering? Such as a labor right, land speculation, etc, many of problems are threatening our conscience and taming our life into it's reason. I sometimes reflect myself remembering the life of  Nekhlyudov. I think maybe his lifestory will be the rolemodel of my life.
   Resurrection gave me an unforgatable experience in my life. I hope that  Nekhlyudov keep breathes in somewhere of my conscience and tells me " Don't make a compromise. Keep struggle for your conscience. Follow his will, and throw away the things what you must.

Lianne's Essay 2: My favorite memory

  Throughout 17 years of my life, which can't be said too long or too short  I had a lot of memories. There are some enjoyable, happy and also stressful memories in my life. Every single memories are so special to me that I can't change with anything. Sometimes they taught me some lessons and also made me regret about my behavior. In this essay I am going to tell you about my best memories in my life that I have experienced.
  To start with, I have a enjoyable memory to tell you about. When I was ten years old, I was attending to elementary school in the States. In school, I have always waited for lunch time! In lunch time, me and my friends would always gather together and share each other's lunch. We shared our stories and had a great time. I remember that my lunch was always delicious. My nanny was a great sandwich maker and her sandwich was so good that I still miss it. After having delicious food, we usually played games like capture the flag, tetherball, and more. Playing with them was so fun! They were great friends of mine. I can't never forget that cute memory I have.
  Next, I also have a memory that made me regret about my behavior and also taught me lessons. When I was 13 years old. I had to take an exam for a computer process Word Processor. To take the exam, I had to take classes every morning for about 30 minutes in school. However, I didn't attend that class because I was lazy and couldn't get up early. I failed my exam. Then, I tried one more time after about a month?,,I don't remember exactly. Before the exam I thought I had enough time so I chose to cut my hair before. After having haircut, I was late for the exam. I couldn't go into the room and couldn't even take the exam! I think this was the most pathetic thing I have ever done in my life. I should have set the priorities and do it in order.
  Lastly, I have a happy memory. It was in winter and I remember it was almost Christmas so many buildings were decorated with beautiful lights. So, my mom and I were planning to go sightseeing in Seoul and walk to the streets to see the lights and have a date there. Then, we took a bus but we fell asleep. When we walk up, the bus was on the way back to our home. However, hopefully the bus was passing Seoul so we could still see the lights. My mom and I were too tired to get off the bus, so we just chose to stay inside the bus and saw the lights inside. We had a bus tour! It was an unusual experience I had but it was fun and relaxed. After getting off the bus, Mom and I just went to a cafe in near to our home and enjoyed. When I think of this memory, I get a big smile in my face.
  In my life, there are many experiences and throughout them I earned a lot and also learned a lot. All of them are roots of me and which made me right now. I am so glad I have these things. From writing this essay I reminded many things and made me to look back my life. I truly suggest you to think about memories you have. I am sure it would make you smile and cry.

Brian Kim-Essay 2

This essay is about my favorite book. I like reading books. I like Korean books and also I like foreign books. About ten books are my favorite books. I read them at least more than 3 times. But I want to introduce about just one book named '엄마를 부탁해'(Please look after mom). It's a novel written by Kyung-Sook Shin. For who didn't read this book yet, I will summarize. 
 One day, mother of four grown up children disappear when she was going to her son's home. So her family -husband, sons, and daughters- trying to find her. They find their mom desperately. But she didn't come out easily. And the story goes on. 
 I saw this book when I was in 15 years old. But then, I didn't interested this book. I thought the book is boring. But a year later, I opened the book again because my sister bought same book translated into English version. Of course I didn't read the English version. I read the original. When I read the first page, I totally fell into the book. It was a very moving book. I almost burst into tears.
 After I read the book, I felt sorry and thanks for devotion of every mothers in world, include my mother. They love their children with their whole heart, and they care for us when we were in their womb. The book is saying earnestly about mother's love and our unconcern. I agree with that. Because there is no human's love that can over motherly love.
 Through this book, I was interested in author, Kyung-Sook Shin. So I found her books in library. I read one of them named '깊은 슬픔'(Deep sorrow)'. Then, she became one of my favorite author. I like her style and story line. She is a great writer in Korea. I'm proud of that.
 I recommend you to read her book. You won't be disappointed.

Gandi Essay2


My favorite movie is “Batman Dark Knight”. I like this movie because of three reasons. First, it talks about human’s intrinsic mind. Second, the villain has his own philosophy. Finally, it is not just a happy ending movie with villain losing.
First, the movie talks about human’s intrinsic mind. There is a new hero called Harvey Dent. He is a hero who catches half of the criminals of the city with the law. But, Joker comes to him, and persuades him to become the villain. Then, Harvey becomes a villain. He was the true hero of the city. But inside, he was not that different from the other people. In the movie, Joker says like this: “madness is just like gravity. All you need is just a little push.” Harvey was a person who does not break the law and catches the criminals, and keeps his dream. But Joker, gave him the push.
Second, the villain Joker has his own philosophy. He wants to become the pure evil. He just lives to destroy everything. There are so many villains in the movie and they just care about the money. Joker, does not like that. He just wants evil and burns down all the money. He says that Batman is not too different from himself. Batman and Joker are both weird people. And he says that if the people does not need the Batman anymore, they will just trash him. I think that is true. In the movie, people liked Batman cleaning up the criminals in the city. But as soon as Joker comes, the people starts to hate Batman because they believe that Joker is killing people because of Joker. But, even if Batman takes off the mask and reveals who he really is, the Joker would not stop killing people. If the people starts to think about that, they can find out that it is not Batman’s fault. Joker is trying to tell that the people’s inside is really evil when the dangerous situation.
Finally, the movie is not just happy ending. Most of the hero movies, the hero wins the villain, and the people becomes safe and everybody is happy. But in this movie, it is different. Harvey Dent becomes the villain and tries to kill Batman and kills many people. In that situation Batman had to kill Harvey and save other people. But the city is relying on Harvey that he is really needed. If people know that Harvey the hero became bad and killed many people, the city will become chaos. To prevent that, Batman takes all the situations as like he did it and gets chased by the cops. This means that Joker won. Joker wanted to show people that a hero like Harvey can become like Joker. A madman. And Harvey really did.
In conclusion, the movie shows that people is not kind from the inside. I agree with that. We are not kind from the inside. But we can go over it by Jesus Christ.

Linda Kim: Essay 2

My Favorite book "달팽이 안에 달(The moon in the snail)" 

           After I said I am going to write about my favorite "book", I started to think to find out what is my favorite book. At first, I thought my favorite book is "너의 눈에서 희망을 본다(I see a hope in your eyes)“. But I have so many books in same category with it, so I couldn't pick just one book. And actually I can say all books are my favorite because they all have influenced me a lot. So looking at my bookshelves, wondering what my favorite book is, I remembered the book "달팽이 안에 달(The moon in the snail)" which I read again and again. It is a book I found in the library in winter. I was having questions if I am going the right way. And I just went to the library because I thought I could find some answers in books. I actually didn't find the exact answer for my questions, but I got a lot of consolation of this book.
           The book "달팽이 안에 달(The moon in the snail)" is written and drawn by one woman writer. It has some short writings and drawings together. What first came in to my heart is this. "From the needle of a compass". It says that the needle of a compass always shakes before it points the exact direction, and it's same in a life. So we don't have to be worried by some shakes in our lives. Because someday the needle of our life will also point the exact direction. It touched me a lot because I was just so afraid of my ambiguous direction. I got a comfort and I could come out of the fear.
           Second phrase that touched my heart is "A very simple key". It says that when we pronounce "사람(people)", our mouth closes. And when we pronounce "사랑(love)", our mouth opens. So “사람(people)” can open each other's heart by "사랑(love)". By reading this short phrase, I could think of the power of the love. And I got a dream to share this wonderful and powerful love to others.
           Third phrase that touched me is "The present". It says like this.
  “If someone got a gift, who needs to open a gift?"
  "The one who got the gift."
  "Yes. The one who got the gift. A talent is one of the gift you got. So taking out  the talent from oneself is always a portion for oneself."
  This phrase made me to be more active on finding my talent and dream. And I was able to try more in various things with courage.
           I am well influenced by books. I found my dreams in books, and I learned how to live in books. I find and learn many things in books and I change a lot by books. And this book, "달팽이 안에 달(The moon in the snail)" have influenced me a lot and made me to look at the world in different point of view. It made me to be more brave and to challenge more things. So this is my favorite book which always give me consolation and courage.

Miss Lauren: Essay 2- My Favorite Novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

     These days, novels with magic and the supernatural are sweeping the globe, enjoyed by young adults and adults alike.  Escaping the real world into a world that can only be imagined is exciting and allows readers to open their minds and escape reality for a time.  Some examples of these are the Twilight series, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars, and Harry Potter.  The Harry Potter series became an incredible phenomenon as teenagers and adults ate up the seven book series within days, and filled up the theaters as each movie came out during the last several years.  Novels are a powerful tool for ones imagination and excitement.  It is one of these novels that I believe is one of the most profound stories I have ever read.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last book in the series, is my favorite novel due to its picture of friendship, its ability to evict emotion, and its spiritual depth.
      In the Deathly Hallows, we already know who the main characters are and the ultimate goal is: to find all the horcruxes that contain the soul of Voldemort, the Dark Lord, and destroy them so he may be destroyed and the wizarding world may be safe once again.  But in this book the friendships are challenged more than ever before and the reader is unsure of if they will prevail.  J.K. Rowling, the author of the novel, allows some time in the middle of the book for questioning and doubt between the sacred friendship of Ron and Harry, a trial nearly every human goes through with a close friend.  But towards the end of the story, as Harry is walking what he believes is his walk to death, is thinking of those friendships he has and how they are worth everything to him, even to the point of death.  Thus the book shows real evidence of the ups and downs that happen in relationships all throughout life, but true friendship will last, and sacrifice is the proof of the cost it may take.
       As the novel delves deep into the human trial of relationships, it triggers nearly every emotion that can be felt.  The audience feels the longing of restoration as Harry leaves those he loves with his two close friends to find the horcruxes.  No one knows if he will ever return.  There is tension and uncertainty as the task seems to large to bear.  Readers understand such tasks in their lives as well, and know the feeling of seeing down a dark tunnel with no light.  As the novel reaches its climax, surprises along the way shock in a way that changes everything we've known for the last six books.  Confusing, relief, and confoundment may all be felt at once, and then finally sorrow, as Harry must make the ultimate sacrifice...his own death to save the world.  Never had I read a book that so captures the emotions of humanity so well in one story, that while is totally fiction, is also incredibly relatable.
       Finally, within the emotion and relationships lies a story that carries a spiritual depth one must be blind to not see.  As Harry walks to his death, his mind is plucked and the reader is brought back to a man in Gethsemane who prayed with beeds of sweat and blood in his death preparation.  Sacrifice for those loved is no new concept, rather it is the deepest connection humans can wrestle and find healing from as they search for the ultimate meaning and purpose in life.  Harry Potter reveals it: sacrifice and love.  Love so deep to sacrifice brings us back to the One who paid the price for all humanity: those he loves.  Because humans are made after a Maker, not one person can't not see the beautiful picture this story paints regardless of their belief system and that is why his novel is the best one I have read.
        Therefore, it is in my best interest that everyone read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  While reading other six books beforehand is helpful, if there is not time reading this book is still profitable.  It's story of friendship contains elements nearly anyone involved in any kind of relationship can relate to.  And these characters and their stories evoke nearly all kinds of emotion experienced by a person.  Finally, its climatic resolution along with many other elements of the story, contain a spiritual depth that link its readers to a place in their hearts where they can find truth and real purpose.  This book is a must read for any and every demographic, religion, and person who enjoys reading.

Jaehyoung Kim: Essay 2

My Favorite Author and Book: C. S. Lewis and The Screwtape Letters

      Few months ago (when I was in Thailand, of course), my class studied about The Screwtape Letters in our literature class. I was amazed by the creativity of C. S. Lewis to write a ‘letter’ from the view of a demon. And while I was reading about it, I was amazed once again because he pointed out many small mistakes of Christians that we unconsciously ignore but can be critical when Satan attacks us. I think C. S. Lewis is surely one of the greatest authors of 20th centuries. So in this essay, I want to share about him briefly and I want to introduce his book The Screwtape Letters.
      C. S. Lewis was born in 1893. His full name is Clive Staples Lewis and he was known as Jack to his family and friends. And his famous works include The Chronicles of Narnia (I think most of us watched the movie-version of it, but I want to recommend everyone to try to read the original book. It’s great!), The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy. He was born and baptized as a member of Anglican Community, but he fell away from church during his adolescence. Fortunately, some of his friends including J. R. R. Tolkien (the author of The Lord of the Rings) continued to persuade him and he came back to church by 1931. From there on, his faith influenced his writing much and he wrote many books to encourage Christians to ‘live for God’. Now I want to talk about one of these books, The Screwtape Letters.

Remember, he is not, like you, a pure spirit. Never having been a human (Oh that abominable advantage of the Enemy's!) you don't realize how enslaved they are to the pressure of the ordinary.
As long as he retains externally the habits of a Christian he can still be made to think of himself as one who has adopted a few new friends and amusements but whose spiritual state is much the same as it was six weeks ago. - From ‘The Screwtape Letter’

      Among the many books of C.S. Lewis, my favorite book is The Screwtape Letter. As I mentioned already, writing a book from the perspective of a demon is probably what only C. S. Lewis could try. In The Screwtape Letter, Lewis candidly depicts the problems of the modern church, such as Sunday Christian, focusing only on the rites of worship services, etc., and he tells us how to live a ‘real’  Christian life. The brief overview of this book’s plot is like this: A senior demon named Screwtape teaches his nephew Wormwood how to ‘trick’ a human and lead him to hell. This book takes a form of letter by which Screwtape is advising Wormwood. There are several titles of characters that Lewis created to emphasis that he’s writing from the perspective of demon. For example, he used ‘Enemy’ for God and ‘Patient’ for the man whom Wormwood is trying to tempt.
      Although it’s pain to read this book without a dictionary since he had used a lot of highly academical vocabularies in this book (Yeah, he was a professor in Oxford and Cambridge.), I’m sure that it’s a great book for Christians to read. (There are Korean translations available, too!) I found a news that a movie-version of The Screwtape Letters is going to come out by Ralph Winter, the producer of the movie-version of Chronicles of Narnia. Though I’m not sure it’s true or not, but I think it would challenge many Christians and lead them back to God.
      Nowadays, many ‘Christian cultures’ are prospering all around the world. We listen Christian musics, we watch Christian movies, and we even established Christian schools. But I think living only in Christian cultures only makes us like a plant in a greenhouse. God didn't created us to do that. In someday, we must go out to the world. And I think a ‘real Christian’ should live a ‘different’ life, even though they are standing in the world's cultures. I think C. S. Lewis was one of the great Christians who applied it to their lives. When he tried to live ‘differently’, his books influenced not only Christians, but even atheists. Many people came back to faith after reading his books. The ‘real’ Christians who change the world are those who know how to apply God’s message in our life and reveal it throughout their life. I think C. S. Lewis is one of these real Christians and that’s why I like him and his books.

Wayne's Greatest Essay

     Today, I'm going to talk about my favorite drama. Before I came to Saem-mul high school, I usually watched all dramas that was broadcasted on 10 o'clock. However after I became a high school students I rarely watch a drama. I watched 해품달, Ghost(유령), Big(빅), Golden Time, and 각시탈. I think Ghost is the one of the best drama that I have seen before. Ghost is about cyber crime investigation team.

     Lead actor is 소지섭, and lead actress is 이연희. The main story is about catching a cyber criminal. After 10th time, they more focus on antagonism with Segang Group. Se-gang group's size is like Samsung. They take the control of power in politic, media and many things. Cyber crime team tried to find Se-gang's crime, and Se-gang tried to cover their crime and held their power. The story is end by suicide of CEO of Se-gang. I don't like the final, but the story was really fun. The first reason that is I like this drama has a lot of reversal things that make me amazed, the second reason is 'hacking' was never being a topic before,

     First of all, Ghost has so many reversal that I couldn't guess. After Ghost was broadcasted, usually 유령 반전 was on real-time search word. For example, lead actor 소지섭 died on 2nd episode. Also there is many spies, or betrayal.

     Second reason is hacking and story that make me impressed. Hacking is unknown theme for drama. Ghost shows many things about hacking that can be our situations. Such as DDoS, SNS, and data spills that can be directly connected with our money. Some professor said, Ghost can be a really life. Also Ghost criticize some Korea's problem, like the Central Election Management Committee DDos incident.

     Summarize all my essay, my favorite drama is Ghost. Because the story line is strong, and so many reversals, and hacking. After I watched this drama, I can more concentrate on my computer security. Thank you to read my essay!

Alice essay #2

   My favorite is steamed bun with red bean paste filling.It is 찐빵  in korean.
Don't you guys like 찐빵 ?? especially in winter when everywhere is covered with white snow?? Many people usually enjoy 찐빵 only in winter.For me, I eat regardless of season.
I have a lot of story in 찐빵. 찐빵 is not just food but a  memory  to me.well~~ Are you ready to hear it~???

   First,It  gave me a peace of mind.After I came back from north carolina, I couldn't get u se to life as a middle school student in korea. I was so used to swim , play tennis and  lay in the grass watching star at the end of day after school is done. I lost confidence as my grade showed.Sometime, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop crying, the stress from grade and relationship with new friends squash me to the bottom.one day, my mom bought me a 찐빵 in winter.she gave me to eat  instead of snacks after academy.After I have a taste , I ate everytime when I feel like nothing.crying in playground play on the swings eating 찐빵 is the memory I can't forget.I could start everything again.


   Second,It was a warmth of others letting me know there are many people who pray and care for me.I thought I'm alone and the problem that I have is insoluble.My behavior got wild and spoiled.I thought lot of neighbors talk back about me.Then, one day mom's friend who is very close to me bought a box of 찐빵 filed with many kinds.She told me 'I know how much you are stressed but remember God is with you and lot of people pray and love you'.I got touched by her word. I say I could grow up well because of she remind me that I'm loved.Her present 찐빵 mean more than just 찐빵.


   Last, It taught I could give help and energy to others with  very small thing. In our apartment ,there was dustman who clean the street in our apartment.He was very old,but he always smiled and say hello to me.I wanted to thank him and give strength to him.
I bought a one box of warm 찐빵 to him. At that time my allowance was 4dollars which was just the price of one box of 찐빵. I ran to the 찐빵  store and gave it to him saying thank you for cleaning so hard with pleasure~.At first, he refused cause he was kind of sorry to receive a box of 찐빵 from me but he received it at last.I learned  how small thing and attention can be a pleasure to others for the first time.


  To summarize, 찐빵 is a food that have taught me a lot of thing and gave me lot of memory. I'm not shy or shameful for my favorite is food .I'm so happy that my favorite is 찐빵. I could go back to the hard time and look backward my past everytime I eat 찐빵.
oh!!! I got really fat at that time~!! cause I normally ate 6찐빵 a day~ hahaha. Nowdays, I don;t eat that much but in winter.I eat flashing back to the time.I love 찐빵

Will Kim

Ten years from now, I'll probably be at the verge of graduating my medical school.
When I was really young, I wanted to go to the Harvard Medical School since I was so not into the actual reality. Well now, since I had at least little taste of reality, I realized that I was rediculous. It's not that it is impossible to go to Harvard, it's that the road I had to take and the consequences I had to manage was too much for me to bear.
Ok. Now, to get back on the track, I'll probably be in medical internship, just being ready to treat some new, fresh and ill folks. By this time I WILL have a girlfriend (of course) and will be ready to marry.
Ten years from now, I'll be 27! and that's something really horrifying. I'll be busy like really crazy.
First, entering a medical school is not a EASY thing. Second, lets say I did success in going to medical school. Well what's next? The lectures, college curriculum will always be beside me ready to make me feel so miserable.
I really want to become a doctor, who not only heals the physical features but also spritual, which is the most important and the only key to entering the kingdom of  God. Because I lived in a poor condition, Mongolia, I feel passion and sympathy toward those who are dying. I've watched so many people suffering on the street and just everywhere. And I want to help them.
I think I'll have to pray and ask God for what I'm preparing for and even pray for the things after.

There's actually nothing much too say because Han Ji Woon(Wayne) filled most of which I wanted to say and Wonbae Kim(Brian) also wrote what I wanted to write about. 
Thank you.

Jay's Essay 1

 After ten years from now, not so long from graduating university, I want to be a person that teaches, gives what others do not know. So I am truly eager to study in graduate school as a student. To become a university professor. To be a professor I have to repeat studying forever and train extremely to be one. Which is rough and tough.
 Actually to be honest, I am not sure what kind of graduate school I might go. But somehow I will be studying Master grade for about two to three years for short. After that I have to study the Expert grade for about three to six years of period. Thus I might or should go aboard to do more of expanded studying. Therefore, the person who is going to be a professor of university must dig through a particular formal study and need to have educated brain filled with information. So I might be studying much much harder than right now. Adding up the events, I will need a lot of mount of cash.
 My future sounds like nothing more than a studying life to death, I will place a gap between those thick future schedules of what I am going to do. I would like to travel to Paris to eat, scuba-dive in Hawaii, and visit Key West with my lover and relax for a while and have fun. Furthermore I will write a book in middle of studying those course and research facts that are completely new. In conclusion, I will spend rest of my life teaching and researching and thanking God by helping others. If I had a chance, I will teach and support the ones that are living with difficulty and impart knowledge to them. I will Give hope to them from what I know and tell them about how good God is with speech.

Who I will be in ten years.


  "What kind of person am I going to be?" This is a very difficult, unusual question to the person like me who don't have a future plan or don't know what kind of work oneself really want to do.On top of that, it is true that people can't dream or have hope about the future as they get old. I might have became one of those, I guess. The uncertainty is a best illustration for my future.
  However, I have a dream on my future. In priority,I dream a life that I am deserved the name of christian, the son of God. I want to live as a christian, who looks and feels around the world  in jesus' heart. I want to declare the truth in my work place, and struggle for the value of it and spread it. Whatever I'm going to do, I want to live out my faith in my life.
  In addition, as I have shown, I don't have any of exact future plan. Nevertheless, I want to study a political philosophy or sociology. This is, I have an interest on it, because it explains or gives a new perspective about the society and human life, how to live better, more like a human. I will study and argue the alternatives and recovers of the christian value in our society .I would write the essays and books about it, and might do some jobs for the social problems such as a starvation,war,environment and so on.

Lianne's Essay

   When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a spongebob's friend traveling under the sea and in elementary school I wanted to be a vet. Years later in middle school I wanted to be a diplomat who draws picture very well. Right now, in my  mind I have a dream of being a industrial designer who's eminent in every way. In order that, I hope to be attending to the postgraduate school in ten years when I am 27 years old. Getting ready for being a designer living everyday busy. 
   I was always thinking art as a hobby. I usually enjoyed drawing just for fun and relieving the stress. However, I found a big passion in art after knowing about Karim Rashid. He's the most famous industrial designer who's ranked in the 'World's Top3 Designers'. Looking at his work he gave me a big shock and made me feel like 'I want to be like him'. Also I thought that the reason I have kept enjoying art is because God had planned my life. If that's what God gave me and planned for me then it's the way I should go without any doubt.
   In ten years, I would be still learning art and following God's grace. I will keep developing things that God gave me. It may feel exhausted of studying over and working all night. However, I will really work hard to help many people with my talents. 
  There's one thing for sure, that now and later I am serving God and I will serve God no matter what happens. I will live with his words and work my best for God.
 

Linda Kim: Essay 1

"Where/ Who/ What I will be in ten years."

           I will write about where/who/what I will be in ten years from a different stand point, supposing I am Linda in 2022. I'm at the hospital going through the internship. I am having hard time working as an intern while sleeping much less than 10 years ago. But I can go through this because it is so fluttering to think 6 years later when I will be in the MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres, doctors without borders) helping people who needs me. Also, I think this hard time is just a training to do well at dangerous region where I could be working. In this hospital, everything is going very fast and there's a lot to do. But still, I can attend a Sunday worship in the hospital which is so thankful.
           I am 27 years old woman always enjoying my life. Sometimes, things seem to be so hard and obscure, but I can overcome and even enjoy it because God is always with me and he is leading me. I am a person who always share God's love. I really thank God for not making me to have distance with him. I still want to be closer and closer to him. Also, even though the MSF seems to be hard, I didn't lose the courage I had ten years ago when I was a young high school student. I am living with my healthy grandmother, mother, and father. Next to our house, my maternal uncle, maternal aunt and my cousin Jung Hoon will be living. My sister has married with someone who really loves her and God. I really love her cute baby who is my niece(or nephew).
           I am my revered parents' daughter, my lovely sister's sister, and one baby's aunt. I am my wonderful grandmothers' and grandfathers' grand daughter, uncles' and aunts' niece, cousins' cousin. And I am a kind and caring intern to the patients and a lovely praying friend to a community. And the most thing what I like about what I am is that I am the tool of the glory of God. I am really happy to become where, who, and what I wished to be when I was a high school student in Saemmul just ten years ago.

Jaehyoung Kim: Essay 1


"Where/ Who/ What will I be in ten years?"

            Where will I be in ten years? I think I will be in front of a computer just as where I’m now, since that’s the talent that God gave me and I need to develop it. I hope to have a few vision trips to other countries and share my talent with them. I also want to have a trip all over the world and know more about the world that God created.
            After 10 years, I will be 27 years old and I will have a degree in Computer Science by then. And I hope to be working as a computer security manager, a computer expert who makes security policies to provide a safe environment for business. Also, I want to keep doing programming as a hobby.
            Few months ago, when I was in Thailand, my teacher showed me a sermon of Louie Giglio. (He’s one of the speakers of Passion Conferences. Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAzCP8SEKwc if you want to watch it.) In the video, he preached about how great is our God and how He loves us. After I watched it, I felt that God’s love for us is not estimable and we should always thank Him whenever and wherever we are.
My life’s goal is to change mass media from Satan’s instrument to God’s instrument and use it to evangelize. I hope to have much deeper relationship with God and be able to listen His voice more clearly. Westminster Shorter Catechism starts with a very simple, but at the same time very hard question: What is the chief end of man? My chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever. And whatever, wherever, or whoever I’ll be, I’ll do everything for the glory of God.

Gandi essay 1


In ten years, I will be in a hospital doing internship. I will study hard to get ready to go out abroad. There are so many doctors who does not care about their patients and only care about their money. If I become a doctor I do not want to use my skills and gifts on that. I will go around the world helping people who are sick.
Second, I will be a person who prays all the time. I think the most important thing in my life is prayer and without that, I am useless. Even if I cure many people, and so many people becomes healthy again, it would not mean anything to my life without prayer. I will be a volunteering person. Helping others I think is really important because Jesus helped us.
Finally, I will become a doctor. I will study really hard and go to a medical school, and study really hard. I want to spend a lot of time in my life helping others. There are so many kids in this world who cannot get proper medical health care. I want to become a person who helps them.

There is a doctor who is working in Emergency room. Many doctors concern on politics, but he doesn't care about it. Also he only think about a patient that patient's circumstance is the priority, a lot of doctors look daggers in his back. But he doesn't care. His non-political attitude and  passion on his work make me impressed.

     Who will I be? After 10 years I'm 27 years old. I hope I have a girl friend or a fiancee, ha ha. Also I must be a pious(신앙심 깊은) guy, so I'll go to some missionary work. Place will be the lonely region where need a medical cure. Also I'll spread a faith to my friend doctors and patients.

    What will I do? Maybe, after 6 years in the university, I'll do internship in the University hospital. I want to choose department of surgery or department of emergency medicine. Because I think I will feel good after save someone's valuable life. Where will I be? I'll be in the University Hospital. I graduated University Seoul, Yeon Se, or Seong Kyun Kwan. I will be called for everything that from Resident or Doctor.

    This is my essay for what, where, who will I be after 10 years. I want to be a doctor, more than that I want to be a faithful man.

sieun joo essay1

          10 years later, I will be 27 years old. I can imagine myself very busy and happy. I would have learned more than right now but I would still be learning. There are too many things I dream myself and I hope to do them all.
         First, I have always dreamed to study and learn more languages, psychology and social welfare. Studying them at least for 7 years would help me find my job I love and enjoy. I am not sure about my specific job I would be working but I am sure that I would be also working in a welfare service. I dream myself working in worldvision or compassion meeting and helping lots of God's people by delivering the joy of gospel. My greatest dream of my life's goal is to support 100kids over the world so they can meet God and enjoy their life and also be their parent. I want to go meet each one of them with my husband when I get older. Since I like meeting people and helping others I think I would enjoy being in those community.
          Also when I am 27 years old, I won't be married. Instead I would be on a trip in Europe with my friends. They are the member of Bong Family and we planed everything with saving money. It would be great to go abroad with my best friends and I hope it would be the best memory in my life. Also I would be praying for my husband when I'm 27. For someone God has planed in my life. I won't be married untill 27 since I would like to enjoy my life more just for me and my work. But for later, I would be praying for someone who has vision and someone who lives for God. I always dream to meet husband in the place I volunteer.
         After 10 years I would be so busy but happy. I hope that I would be God's person who shows his love all over the world and who glorify his name.
