#9 very loud scream in my life

I remember the first loudest scream that I made in my life. It was in Lotte World in Korea. One day, my friends and I were spending very boring routine on Sunday. Suddenly one of my friends suggested going to exciting place, so we went to the Lotte world. There is the most scare riding called Gyro Drop. That is to drop in two seconds include people. Even though I did not ride; just looked at riding, it made me scare. Finally, my turn was getting close. One of my friends got off in a line. He gave up to ride. Now, I think it was ver funny situation, but at that time, it was so serious. We got on the strange machine, and that lifted up us very slow. Everybody did not notice when this situation end. Then, the machine stoped suddenly, and staied few minits. It felt three hours. While I was saying to my friends "hey, do you know how long...", we was dropped quick as lightning. During dropping I was screaming at the top of my voice. After that, I said "..do we stay..", and it was in pool voice. However, I felt very exciting and got worked up. It was fun. I can not forget it.

#8 A park that I like

There is the biggest river called Han River in my country. Around Han River, there are several parks. Especially, I used to go to a park called DouckSum Park. The reason is very simple. That was pretty close from my house. I remember there are so many people every day. First of all, after get off subway, I can see a big and wide river. In summer season, people enjoy water sports such as riding wakeboard and riding boat on the river. Just next the entrance, there are many people playing skateboarding. Their carriage is fantastic and nimble like a squirrel. Next those crowed people. I can see a grand sight. It is not natural, but this is a valuable park because Doucksum Park locates in middle of city in Seoul. Those trees and flowers are beautiful. Paths make me a different person. When I used to walk around a path with trees, I used to feel that I can do everything. Every morning, I used to run there. People that I met during jogging were very strong people. It means they are people that have a dream, and they were doing self discipline. Doucksum Park is not a natural and famous park. However, those things that I mentioned before always impressed me.

#7 An event that makes me changed my character

When I entered middle school, I was very shy guy. I saw a boy who was the best dancer in my school. I remember he was so selfish, but I thought he was a great guy because of his fantastic dancing skills. He danced like a robot. I always watched him while he was dancing. Therefore I decided I tried to be like him. I always practiced dancing with my friends after school. I sometimes hit the wall and slipped down on the flower, but it did not matter for me. Finally, we could take part in the dancing event. He who was the best dancer in my school also joined that event. Our team was very nervous because of him. However, his team was so awful because other members except him did not relate with him. He did only very well, so his team looked like separated team. The result was we won the game, and I realized the harmony is very important, and my shy character is a needless stuff in my life.

Recently, it happened to a very big and huge event in my country. The Korea has the Soong Lea Moon, which is the first national treasure in Korea. It is the most valuable cultural heritage in my country. Also, The Soong Lea Moon is the oldest building, and it looks like a large castle. It was used a door that connected capital Seoul city to other cities. Even though we had a lot of wars, it had reserved for our descendants for six hundred years. However, in February 11, 2008 it was burned totally by mystery guy. Most people feel sad still now, and some people believe that unlucky is started after changing new president. The structure of the Soong Lea Moon was built very scientifically by our ancestor. However, I did not know that fact until my mother called me after it happened few days later. I was very freak out and nervous. At that time that it occurred, I had extremely bad dreams during sleep. That was horrible dreams. I remembered it was I participated in the terrible war, one of my friend died, and I saw a number of blood, and so on. The next day morning, I heard bad news that was one man whose wife is my home stay mother’s cousin was died at the Iraq by road bomb. He was 19 years old, and he just got married 6 months before. It was on Orange county newspaper. In addition, the next day a man whose wife is my home stay mother’s best friend who often visits my house was died by cancel. Also, a man who is friendly neighborhood got heart attack. Those things had a run of ill luck. My home stay mother cried three days. It was terrible. The following day, I took a call from my mother. She gave a massage about the first national treasure. People say the bad luck happen simultaneously, and good luck also happen at the same time. I believe that word. Some day everything is going to be all right.

#4 My first arrival to the United States

I remember I could not speak English before I came here. I had studied for 2 months before I left my country to go abroad to study. Going abroad is very hard decision to me because I do not have family, cousins, and even friends here. Therefore, when I arrived at the LA airport, I had to find a person who picks me up to my new home stay. She related with ALP I think at that time. I found her who was raising a paper written my name in English in front of gate, and then I forgot my English that I had learned for two months. I just remember a couple of word during we headed on my home stay in her car. She said she can speak three languages, so I just wanted to say I want to be like you because I just can speak my own language. However, I said I want to you. That was it. Then, we had very quiet silence, and a few minutes later, she talked I had mistakes. After that, I realized I had a big huge mistake, and I explained it. Finally, she understood, and she fixed my English. We laughed, and then I arrived my new home stay safely. After I experienced that situation, I was not nervous to meet home stay parents. Although I had studied English for two months, I was very nervous. However, I overcame to face Native American after only two minutes mistake. Then, I have been doing real English until now. I should be going to speak English more than before.

#3 Future plan

People always think about life of oneself. For example, "how is this problem getting better?", or "I should make my 10 year plan." something like that. I read article somewhere that is a person who make his or her detail plan have 75% of succeed . For instance, I am going to enter the A university to study something until 2008, so I have to get a degree until 2012, and then I must go to B company, but I am not going to continue that company more 3 years because I want to try my C business, and if I fail, I am going to writ resume to 5 company that is D,E,F, and so on. In addition, suprisingly, person in the 90% in the 75% is really possible to do their plan in their future. After I read this story, I decide to make a my future concret plan. First of all I have to decide when I enter the unversity, where I go, when I must graduate, where I go to the job, when I am going to get marry, how many babies I want, and so on. It is too much tasks and takes a lot of time. It is very hard decision. Above all, the first decision will be to decide my plan as soon as possible. everyone has a dream and goal. However, to do your dream is very difficult. Now, I am a middle of 20 years old. I am not late to start my new life. In this spring semester, I hope this semester is the best season in my 20's, and I will do my best.

#1 Describe yourself as a writer. How do you go about writing? What kinds of things do you like to write about? What do you dislike?

I like writing. Actually I like to read my writing especially my story. I've been writing my diary since before I came here , so It was since 2006. I sometimes read my journal. It descrives my chaging emotions. At the begining, my situation was I did not decided to go to abroad to study or not. It was extremly confused. After that, I decided to go to America, and I had interview for my information. Then, I came here, and it happened a lot such as losting my way things. Also, I had test TOEFL, and then I failed something like that. One thing that I regret is there are many empty dates. I was suppose to write everyday or once a week at least because I realize that I am encourage by my diary when I read it. Therefore, I like to write my story. However, it is hard to write other stories like a novel, a proffesional opinion, and a poet. These make me crazy becase I have to think carefully and considerably, so it takes a lot of time. However, I think if I read lots of books before, I will be easy to write any other stories because I have numerous informations in my brain. I want to be a good writer because I have to write a lot in the future, so I am going to read too much.
