Medicine
I had no knowledge or interest toward medicine
but, after I took organic chemistry class, I began to research about various
compounds that make effective medicine. On an ordinary day, I watched one
program which showed one student who was becoming blind because of an unknown
disease. He was preparing for the test to become a firefighter but had to give up his 'only' dream. The program showed that he has abandoned his mother because he didn’t
want to burden her. While watching, I cried a lot and felt so
miserable about the fact that his doctor just had to say "sorry" and comfort him. I wondered what if there was an adequate medicine for him. Since I was
studying organic chemistry, I began to have a dream that could help people
by developing various medicines.
2.
Running
Since very
young, I used to love running and I was really good at it.(even better than
other boys) In elementary and middle schools, I always won the first place at
running. I became most competitive while running. In sports day, everyone forced me to do the
relay running three times in one game so, I vomited eventually. Since then, I never participate in relay running.
3.
Food
I adore all food except 보신탕(Actually I can eat it deliciously, but I don’t, because I have a pet dog). Not the part that I love food, I am really good at eating a lot. My eating speed and my digesting speed corresponds so, even though I eat a lot, I don’t feel much full.

Friendship
One of the things I regard as the most
important thing in my life is friendship. Whenever I have tough times, all of
my good friends were there for me and I try to be a better friend who could
always be there for them,too. I rely on friends a lot and tend to be a trustful friend since I regard 'trust' as the base of all genuine relationships.
6.
Traveling
Since young, because my sister was talented in violin, our family went Germany to support her. So, I could travel lots of countries in Europe. (almost 9 countries 스위스 독일 프랑스 오스트리아 체코 영국 이탈리아 네덜란드 폴란드 ) I saw various people, ate various food, watched lots of diverse festivals and went to lots of landmarks of the countries. Although i barely remember, the time I went to Europe with my sister was the happiest time in my life. When I was 6 years old, I went to the airport by myself, took the airplane to Germany alone by asking people who walked beside me and finally met my mom who was waiting for me in Frankfurt Airport. Everyone beside me was amazed by the fact that on an early age of a girl was trying to take a plane by herself.

The little prince
The book ‘The little prince’ is my favorite
book. I read it when I was 9 years old because the pictures in the book were
all exquisite. Since then, I kept reading it at night when I felt depressed or gloomy.
I love the part that every time I read the book, it feels different. I can have
lots of thoughts and changing emotions through the book, ‘the little prince’.
But I don’t have the book anymore because my ex-boyfriend took it when we were
a couple.
8.
Heart
I have a weak heart since I was born. So,
not only when I do physical activities, I feel painful pressure in my heart
when I watch sad movies. One time, while watching a movie called’마음이’ which is about a dog protecting his owner, I went to the hospital
through ambulance because I fainted with my heart pain and couldn’t breathe. Since then, I never watch a sad movie which is related to animal.
9.
Religion
All of my family members are devout
Christians so, I became a Christian. I go to ‘기도모임’(meeting
for praying) every evening before 7pm. I rely on religion a lot.
10.
Fantasy (mermaid/santa)
I
believe Santa clause and mermaid exists. Strictly saying, I believe they ‘could’
exist. I have a strange feeling that they exist. I don’t want to conclude that
they don’t exist since there is no vivid clue.
11.
Spanish
I began to learn Spanish after I came to
KMLA. Actually, learning other languages made me dizzy, but I could study Spanish
passionately and have a strong interest because I really love the Spanish teacher.

Eye sight.
My both eye sights were 1.8 when I was
middle school third grader. But now, they are 0.
15.
Music
I enjoy lots of various music including
classic, rock, pop songs, kpop, hiphop and also gospel songs. I love to sing
when I get stressed or when I take a shower.
16.
Poem
Many friends of mine say that they cannot
imagine me reading poems and writing them. However, I really love reading lots
of poems and used to write poetic expression in my note and used them in my own
poems.
17.
Laugh
When I go different places, I have always
heard that I have a strange, special laughing sound. But…I kind of agree. My
laughing sound always changes in different situations.
18.
Movie
Watching movie is also one of my top
activities when I get stressed or feel too excited. Such as listening to music,
watching movies makes me think a lot in lots of topics. I especially love
movies which have nice ost.
19.
Daily planner hand
I always try to write daily plans on my
hands. When I write plans in my planner, I always forget to look at the
planner. That’s why the back of my hands are always messy with my daily plans.
I also write trivial things such as take a shower, prepare for test, bring mufflers
and etc.

Love
I am not sure how I now think about ‘love’.
But, I thought true love exists and believed it will last forever.(maybe that’s
because I watched so many Disney movies…) Perhaps I still believe in true love
or destiny. I think there is always perfect match for each person, but it is
just quite impossible to meet the one who is meant to be together. Once, I thought
true love will eventually face happy ending, but now I realize ‘true love’ isn’t
just meant to be; it needs mutual effort to maintain love and develop to be ‘true
love’. By falling in love with someone and facing tough break ups, I could
realize lots of things in maintaining or dealing with various relationships
with different people and I found out more about what person I am.
22.
Korean traditional drawing
From the moment I entered KMLA and since
now, I took Korean traditional drawing and calligraphy class. At first, to be
honest, I took the class to raise GPA a little more, but as I learned a lot in
the classes, I became to enjoy it a lot. I really love the teacher and those
classes were the most healing time during the weeks. After I learn new things
to draw, I write 1 or 2 hopeful phrases which give me strength while facing
hard times. I stich them in my studying room and changes the phrases every
Tuesday.(Since I have class on Tuesday)
23.
Winter
Winter is my favorite season. I was born
with high temperature, so until now, I have lots of heat in my body. Thus, I hate
hot seasons because I get easily exhausted. In winter, I don’t have to suffer
from high temperature. I also love winter activities such as making snowman,
snow fighting, sledding and also drinking sweet hot cocoa while watching the
outside snowing. Whenever it is snowing, I feel the romantic emotions. In
middle school, I used to play football when we saw the first snow every
winter.( one of the most happiest moment in my life)
24.
Chemistry
My major is chemistry so far. I knew
nothing about the subject until I came to KMLA. I just chose to take a
chemistry class since it was mandatory to choose one science subject between
biology, chemistry, and physics. At first, I couldn’t understand chemistry a
lot and felt zero interest in the chemistry field. However, as I learned more
about it, I felt strong interest. Now, I am taking organic chemistry class.
25.
Letters
I love to write letters to others and also
love to get letters from others. Personally, sending my heart and thoughts through letters is quite effective. Not only on special occasions, when I have leisure time, I love spending those time writing letters to each of my friends, my family, teachers, and even who work for our school. I feel the genuine happiness while expressing my feelings and watching them smiling when they get my letters.
26.
Diplomat
Since young, due to my bright and outgoing personality, my mom used to say that i will become a brilliant diplomat. Not even knowing what diplomats are and what they do, I thought I was destined to be a diplomat. However, as time passed, I realized I was interested in other fields rather than considering international issues. Still my mom wants me to be a diplomat, but I am convincing her to make my own decision and follow the path that my heart decides.
27.
My sister
I have a 12 years old older sister who always takes care of me and loves me a lot. My sister had a talent in playing violin since she was 6. She practiced so hard that i could never overcome. My sister won many prizes in international competitions when she was in the elementary school. Then, she got the sponsor from Anne Sophie Mutter so, decided to go abroad. She graduated high school early and went to German for attending University of Munich. Because the lack of money, she got many sponsors for her violin and various concerts. My mom and I went to Munich and stayed there for about 2 years to support my sister. At that time I was 6 or 7 years old and attended international kindergarten.

28. My grandmother
At the moment I was born, my grandmother, staring at my face, exclaimed "It's a boy!!" After she figured out that i was a girl, she told me that she was really disappointed since she expected to encounter a boy. Even when i was attended kindergarten, my grandmother used to buy me boy clothes that i strongly refused to wear. we always fought through those issues: she wanted me to act like a son in the family. However I tried to understand her preference toward sons rather than daughters because in her age, many people's perspectives were the same. One day, before i entered high school, my grandmother wrote me a letter about apologizing for degrading me because I was a girl. My tears ran down the letters making them dirty because I could genuinely feel her heart and love toward me.

Cello
Because I have a sister who is a violinist, my parents had to concentrate fully only to my sister. It had both benefits and drawbacks. The good thing was that I could learn how to control and protect myself in an early age but, one of the drawbacks was that I couldn't consider and find about my interest and future deeply. Just to get my parent' interest, I told my mom that I want to learn how to play cello. My parent accepted my favor because they thought it would be much feasible for me to success in classical field; since my sister had strong relationships with the world's famous musicians, she could easily introduce me to her friends or professors. One time when my sister just told one of her professors that her sister,I, play a cello, she insisted my sister to bring me for some lessons. I practiced really hard even crying from the pain of practicing but, as I became a middle school student, I endeavored to find my real passion. I faced the immense difficulty for objectively see through myself. I realized what I really had the passion and interest was not playing classic music(although I love classics), but in studying and learning about interest phenomenons that i never knew.

Horse
I remember the first impression when I first leaped on to the saddle of a dark brown eyed horse. I felt so weird, feeling the awkward senses of my butt. The trainer kept shouting at me to release the strength or a certain pressure of my body but, I couldn't possibly do it. I felt scared and frustrated while the horse was walking calmly. The reason that I couldn't sit on the back of the horse was that I felt so much guilt for the horse for carrying my weight. It seemed so unfair for innocent horses to carry heavy people ,just for the people's entertainment without their own wills. While crying, i asked the trainer whether the horses get painful or not when they carry such heavy people. Even though he told me that they won't feel a thing because they weigh much more than humans, I couldn't bare the feeling sitting on the horse's back and kept finding certain poses that it will lessen my weight on the horse. My legs and my back felt so painful maintaining those poses so, i shouted to come down from the saddle. From then, i never rode a horse and refused to sit on their backs anymore.
