Week 6 : Optional Extra Credit - Someone I admire

 

  

After I got a mission ; Tell about what person I admire, I agonized.

Actually I thought my mother. She is the person that I respect most but I wanted to write another person. Then, I recalled one woman. Her name is Sheryl Sandberg.

I saw her on the facebook for the first time. She is a COO(Chief Operating Officer) of the Facebook. She is also a vice president of Google.

I usually use a lot 'Facebook' and 'Google' and I sometimes wonder who is leader of Facebook.

After I knew the leader, I was shocked! The leader is A FEMALE! It was awesome.

Nowadays, she is admired the most as a woman in the world.

 

Here are reasons why I admire her. First, she is influential in the world as a woman. She is only female member of director. She doesn not feel inferior to other mans. Rather, She leads other mans. She doesn't hesitate when pushing the matter forward. She gives me excitement and she gives me a challenge. After I knew her, I have tried to find my dream and to live impassionedly. Second, she admits her fault with grace. One day, there was a new employee and he has been in Sheryl's company for only two weeks. Then, during the meeting, he pointed out Sheryl's mistake in front of many other predecessors. Many people were shocked and embarassed, but Sheryl didn't get angry. She admitted her mistake with a smile and bowed his thanks. If I was Sheryl, it was hard to admit my fault in front of other a lot of people because she was leader.

Of course, there are many other women like Sheryl Sandberg.

Nevertheless, I admire her because of her modesty.

 

If you want to know her, search on the Google and you will get some information about her.

I bet you also would admire her!

 

 

Week 5 : Assignment - Review of a book

Tear glittrs when it gets light
- Su-yeon Eun

Hyewon Choi

 

 

 

   There would be nobody who wants to suffer hardship. Rather, almost everyone want to live happily without anxiety. So with Ms. Eun’s (a writer of this book) case. The writer of this book also wanted to live happily. This book, Tear glittrs when it gets light, however, is well-known to people as success stories of women who was sexually assaulted by her father. What ‘success’ means in this book does not mean getting rich but overcoming tragedies in one’s life. This was not a book before, but a company collected data and combined in one book. She wrote this to ask someone for help during she stayed in refuge.

 

   Her father was a paster. He was very hospitable to everyone, but not to her. For 9 years, Ms. Eun was raped by him. Her mother and her liittle brother just ignored her even though they knew how she was suffered. Living with family was murder. She attempted suicide several times. She also tried to ask people for help but they didn’t help her rather they ignored her. Someone tried to tell her some advice but this didn’t add up to any help for her. Finally, the paster, her father was under detention for 7 years. The writer of this book is also trying to live happily now!

 

   This book deeply inspired me and made me feel guilty. I thought we have to concern for somebody who is suffered by something and help them. We are just so indifference that someone get hurts in bad situation. I recommend you to read this book and think about this event.

Week 4 : Optional extra credit - What I learned in Chapel or other classes.

◆ Tell about something interesting that you learned about in chapel or one or your other classes.


  These days, the church that I attend is in danger. This is one of the megachurches in korea. Recently, however, people are shaken so atmosphere in the church is too dark.

  Our official is very witty and humorous but on last week, he cried at sermon. He broke off in mid-sentence and cried for quite a long time. He said that he knew that the church is in danger and it is so hard to believe. It was so hard to him even though he was leader of us. He said over and over again, "We have to pray for our church.." I was deeply worried.

  There are churches for our God but nowdays, there are so many people who think that the churches are ours. I was worried about that. I was thinking during that worship. Why we are hard pressed? What depressed us? Well, Really, are we praying for our God in right way? Are we appreciating? Are we repenting of our sins everyday?  Then, official said we have to take our packages out and just follow our Jesus. We are so greedy that we are hard. Thus, we should follow him.

  I pray for everyone can pray in right way so we can be firm as a rock in front of our Jesus.
I hope we would be happy in our God.

 

Week 4 ; Assignment - Write a travelblog - Indonesia!

◆ Write a travelblog about a place that you have gone. Include photos if you can.

 

 

On January 26, 2013, I saw the heaven on earth when I took a trip to Bintan in Indonesia.

At first, my mother and I went to Singapore but we wanted to go to Bintan. Bintan Island is famous as paradise. We went to there without hesitation.

 

 

We had get aboard a small cruise then we sailed for 50 minutes to Bintan, Indonesia.

 

 

 

We landed at a small port because to go to Bintan, people have to sail.

Bintan is very hot and humid mixed with rain but it was not raining when I was there.

 

 

 

 

On arrival, we could see statue of Eagle.

It was very huge so we could relax under the statue against the sun.

 

 

 

 

 

 This is Bintan resort. This resort is very large and has atmosphere of Southeast Asia.

The report staff are friendly and courteous.

When we arrived at resort, they played instruments and welcomed us.

 

For dinner, we ate buffet. It was really nice!

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Bintan resort, there are swimming pool!

I was very excited when I saw a swimming pool!

I swam and drank some smoothie in this pool.

There are so many foreiners and they became my friends for 2 days!

Also I stay in contact with them.

 

 

Umm, I'd like to tell you about one place in Bintan, Indonesia!

I recommend you to go there with friends or family.

This is 'Jungle Mangrove'!

 

 

 

 

Mangrove is trees that grow in this area.

It was amazing because these trees are not putting down deep spreading roots under the ground.

We could see the roots on the water.

 

 

These are Mangrove!

 

 

 

We could go inside getting aboard boats.

The weather was very hot so I was roasting.

 

We could see some animals such as monkeys, snakes and squirrels.

I was very excited. My mother and aunts were excited too!

 

 

 

 

Even though there are so many insects and bugs, so people feel pain

because of the hot and humid weather.

 

 

 

 

 

Nevertheless, I recommend you to go there if you have a chance!

If someone ask me about Bintan Lagoon, I would answer like this.

"Bintan is a heaven on earth no matter what they say!"
