Since it was my half high, I didn't think I can bring it to my nation, Korea. 
but it was prefabricated. Thanks god ! I could bring to Kora.

Korean moms who consider sending your children abroad must look at this!


<You Should Learn English in America>

There are sixty countries that use English as their official language. The most representative well known country  to  Korean is Philippines. Here in my essay, I am going to talk about why you shouldn't send them to Philippines. Your idea for sending them to Philippine will be changed after you read this.

When you consider sending your children abroad to learn English, you might think once about sending them to Philippines because it has a lower cost of living, and cheaper tuition.
However, language is culture. English is not a just speaking skill. Imagine sending your children to Philippines and learn only Philippines culture so that when he communicate with Americans, he might not communicate with them very well. For example, in America, when people see each other, they say “good morning” in the morning even though they don't know each other and when they hit each other they say “excuse me”. Those things are learned only in America and England. If you really wish to put your children a higher stage, don't let them learn just English. Let them learn about the language. So please don't grudge the expense once you decide to send your children abroad.

In Philippines, not everybody speaks English. They have gap between the rich and the poor. So only the rich people can get educated. When your children is in the country, he can't have not much chance to meet with English Speaker. Even though they meet Speakers, they use Tagalish which is impropriety and mixture of Tagalog and English.

In the institute, there are more Korean Speakers than English speakers. If it is man to man class, or English speaker is more than Korean speakers in the classroom, then it is okay to learn English, but the reality is not like that.

Consider your children’s future. If you want your children to be internationally talented person, don't hesitate to send them to America. You might save money for now for sending them to Philippine but your children will earn less than the ones who studied abroad in America. Remember, The Perfect English is necessary in Korea. And the English is not just skill. It is culture.

Sohee's narrative essay

Not every woman is the same. Every woman has a dream about her life, even if she is married. When I was six years old, my parents finally achieved the goal of buying a house. They bought an apartment. As soon as we moved into the apartment, my mom quit her job and became a typical Korean housewife as my friends’ moms. At the time,  working in the society s a woman was an unusual thing. It was very common that women did housework and took care of their children.
We lived on the 11th floor. As soon as we moved in, my mom started handing out Rice cakes to every floor. By giving it, my mom had a chance to know many housewives in the apartments. Since she quit the job, she had plenty time to get together with them. She had first friend who lived in 10th floor and the 10th floor woman was close with a 9th floor woman. Anyways, when I get back from the school, if there was no mom at home, that meant that my mom is some floor in the apartment, talking with those women.
As time went by, their relationship got more intimate. They did everyting together such as going shopping, hair salon and even public bath. That’s how I internalized what the women do after the marriage. So I thought that my marriage life will look like that. When I get married, I will not work, I will stay home, and take care of my children.
One day, our family had a dinner at 9th floor’s family. After the dinner, we were waiting for an elevator that came from the first floor to 9th floor so that we could reach to 11th floor, where we lived was my house located. When the door opened, a deep rose scent came out of it. A woman who looked like a missionary woman with hope was in the elevator. It was first time seeing her in the apartment. So we thought that she was just a visitor or something. After that, we had more chance to meet in the elevator and my mom just assumed that she was a resident in the Apartment.
Whenever I saw her, she always worn high heels, and tailored suit with a nice scent. She was so stylish just like a TV star. I was shocked. Women in Korea didn’t work at that time, but she was always busy and working hard. We found out that she did a business and earned from 5000 dollars to 10000 dollars in a month. She always had confidence and elegance. I think that’s how I started building my future in my mind. She became my role-model. I realized that a woman can have a dream and dream about the future. Woman is not a subject staying at home. They can do economic activities.

Sohee's opinion about same sax marriage should not be legalization.

Climate change effects on raising disease, bad result in farm work, and everything in human life. It obviously makes things worse. Just like that, same sex marriage should not be legalized because it destroys the social values, traditional gender role, and mother nature. First of all, same sex marriage violates the mother nature. When people fall in love, they get married. Through the system of marriage, they finally reach the destination of love: giving birth to babies. Because of this, same sex marriage is totally nonsense. In the result, it causes a decrease in the birth rate. To continuously maintain a nation or culture, certain numbers of people is needed. The nations have to encourage citizens to have more babies in order to increase the birth rate to citizen to keep the nation in a good nation. Second, same sex marriage causes AIDS. As known to many people, it is a catastrophic illness. It has no certain cure medicine. When same sex marriage is legalized, the rate of AIDS jumps up because it spreads through a same sex couple having anal and oral sex. Also, it is a contagious infection. Lastly, same sex couple could have negative effects on their children. Just because being their children, they might have to face the challenges. Classmates might tease them and they might feel discrimination in school. In the childhood, it is really important period because in that period, they learn how to form relationships and social skills. If they miss the opportunity of learning those educations, there is less possibility of socialization. It is now a society problem. It is not only breaking the law, but also disobeying the nature by not reaching to the destination of love: procreation. Which is human’s instinct when a man and woman fall in love each other. Plus, it also causes a social issue: birth rate. Why does God create men and women? There should be a reason. So it is obviously swimming upstream against mother nature and traditional roles.

Wanna know about me? Click this ! :D

introducing myself !

<family member>
I have twin brothers. They just turned into 21. They were so good. But they just turned in evil. No one controls them. For example, They didn't smoke before but now they starts. Also the last one starts driving and always making a car accident. The insurance price went high. So my family's top topic is the twins these day. We hope things get better soon.

 bad guys never smile... haha..  even when taking family picture too..
we always go like hey twins! smile please!! T,T
my brothers used to be skinny.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 
he was kind when he was skinny.
because of the fat, they turned evil? ... what's the problem to them? T.T 


<part time job>
I am taking a course for English Education. I have been thinking about my future job. Should I be a teacher? What should i do? I am taking course for education but I knew that it is really hard to become a teacher in Korea. And my mom gave me a advice about taking a part time job for teaching so that i can decide to become a teacher or not. At that time i thought it wasn't that good idea. But after taking a job, i really appreciate my mom. It was great experience and i really loved it. My part time job makes me sure to become a teacher. Even though it is really hard to become a teacher if you are rigid, hard, sure enough about your dream you can do everything in you. And I strongly believe it.

they were my students. they are non-identical twin brothers who are fifth grade now. so cute! i miss them so so so so so much <33

<how was your vacation>
I always do something in my vacation. But this summer vacation ,which was my last vacation in my school year, was so boring since i am looking for my job after graduation. Nothing fun at all. I thought i need something to refresh. And i looked for some place i can travel. I had so little time before the semester starts. Therefore i choose thai land . It takes only five hours and the price was quite reasonable. Anyways, it was so much fun than i expected. Clubs, cheap prices, and foods. I loved it. If i have chance to visit there again, i would go for sure.
with thai friend ! 


every night, we had a fun fun fun extra fun night! hehe~ 





cheap food made me crazy..
 I think Bangkok is just a HEAVEN !! 
Love Love it ♡

part 3SUM MY TOPIC OF WHO IS AMERICA ( WHAT IS CULTURAL IDENTITY)

to get the  American Society as a second generation, it is really hard. also, many Asian American think that their idendity is country of origin.
http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/asianamericans-graphics/

Asian-American Identity

Asian-American Identity
as we can see not so many second generation thinks that they are American.


Typical American?

How do Asian Americans see themselves compared with the larger population? It depends on who you ask. On average, half of Asian Americans say they are very different from the typical American, and more than 60% of Vietnamese Americans and Korean Americans say they feel this way. Still, a majority say being an Asian American doesn’t make a difference when it comes to some of the milestones in getting ahead, such as getting into college or getting a job or promotion. More Asian Americans say they are satisfied with their lives than the general public.
Why IS That????




 as i mention that, my counsin who is born in America but thinks that she is Korean.
and she only hang out with Korean Girl or people from Asia country.
maybe this is the reason why they can get into the society. ( have no chance to share the common on Amerian. )


Anyways we also talked about melthing pot and salad bowl. there are difference between them for sume. melthing pot is that people who is minority that has different culture should be assimilating on the majority ( WASP -white anglo sason protestant ) . maybe that is why second generation like Korean American dont want to think they are American.

so instead of  melthing pot, we have to use the term of salad bowl.
 In the salad bowl model, various American cultures are juxtaposed — like salad ingredients — but do not merge into a single homogeneous culture. Each culture keeps its own distinct qualities. (wiki)


so that everybody(majority and minority) cooperate together and keep their identity !

who is American?

I have many friends who came from America.
but there are two kinds of group. one says that they are American, and the other says they are Korean.
Here is my topic. what is their identity ?  what is their first language?
I think it applies to not only Korean-America, but also every minority Ethnic-American.



this is story about korean-american girl named, Magarat Cho.
 
here is the script. ( highlighted on important part)

Margaret Cho
 
Then there were people who didn’t understand the concept of Asian American. I went on a promotional tour for the TV show, and I went all over the country and I went to one morning show and the announcer said, “Hey Margaret! We’re changing over to an ABC affiliate. So why don’t you tell our viewers in your native language we’re making that transition. So I looked at the camera and I said “They’re changing into an ABC affiliate.” Those racial issues are difficult to discuss. Even my mother has trouble. In her phone messages. Bhoop! (Cho imitating mother) “Hi, it’s mommy……hi, it’s mommy, hi, it’s mommy, hi……don’t marry a white man!” Bhoop! I almost married this Irish American guy and ahhwe got very close to getting married. I even went down to meet his family and they lived in Sarasota, Florida. And I was very worried before I went there. I asked him, and I said “Are there gonna be any Asian people there?” And he was like “no.” And I just said “Okay. Could you just drop me off at the dry cleaner then?” Cause I don’t want to be the only one! Look, I love his family but they were kinda too nice to me. So for the whole time, I just felt really like (with an accent)“Oh, this is my host family. I come to America. America is number one……. Is number one…… Thank you, Mr. Eddie’s father.” It’s the most Long Duk Dong (a Chinese character in the movie “sixteen candles.”) experience. Although it’s difficult to be the only Asian person around a bunch of white people, I think it’s way worse to be the white person around a bunch of Asian people. Because we will talk shit about you right to your face. (with an accent) “You’re eye is too big! Why is your eye so big, it’s like this, it’s like this, it’s like this…… Are you gonna catch a fly with your eye? Also you are too tall. You’re too tall! He look like Godzilla, Godzilla!!!!” 
 
she speaks in funny way. it was very enjoyable watching it, but I felt a little bitter.
 
my questions.
 
Who is American?
 
What is Ethnic-Americans 's first language? 
 
What stereotype people have to them? 
 
When you see minority in USA, do you think they can not speak English?
 
what way can Korean-American have American nationality as an American?
 
If you are first generation in America and your children are hasitating about their idendity(am i korean? American?) then what would you say as a parents?
