30 Random Things about Me



1.     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.  
 


4.     Disney
         Disney movies are my favorites. (Especially, the little mermaid) When I was 6 years             old,   I thought I will become a beautiful purple tailed mermaid. Every time I went to              sauna, I used to practice swimming like a mermaid, sitting like a mermaid and even                combing my hair like a mermaid. But, the ironic part is that I cannot swim at all... 



5.     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.  

7.     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.

12.   Seosan
 I was born in Seosan which is a small countryside area in Choongchungnamdo. Now our family moved to Incheon but, my favorite place in Korea is Seosan. (Air is really fresh, there are lots of nature, people are so pure and kind)
13.   Nature
  Since I was raised in the countryside, I love nature. In kmla, I love strolling around, watching nature around our school. In middle school, whenever our class ended, my friends and I played catching frogs and picking mugwort which is a plant that is used for making Korean traditional plates. When I bring those mugworts to my house, my mom used to cook them.

14.   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.  

20.   Animal pet
  When I was 5years old, I had two pet bunnies. Because my father cleaned the floor with wax, my bunnies drank the wax while my dad was cleaning. After I came home from kindergarten, they were lying on floors, dead. Then, I bought a puppy when I entered elementary school. But, due to my mom’s allergy for fur, I had to give him to my neighbor, crying for 2weeks. After that, my mom felt sorry so, she bought me another puppy which had shorter and less fur. I am still raising the same dog. 
                                                                                                                     
21.   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. 


29.   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. 



30.   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.
