A dream deferred

What happens when a dream is deferred?

Going down under the ground

like nobody can find me anymore.

Falling backward with a bump

like I cannot stand up anymore.

Seeing darkness in front of the sun

like I can't see anything anymore.

A dream come true is...

A dream come true is a sunset glow on the beach.

Laying down and drinking a glass of pink fruit cocktail.

Listening the sound of water waves and being calm.

A dream come true is a festival.

Dancing with my friends and singing my success.

Talking up myself and laughing at my failure.

My dream job?

Hm.........I haven't decided it yet though.. I have NO idea. However, what I want to do is that I want to move around my country or the world and work whenever I want. I don't want to stay at the same place like a office. I also want to use my English skill when I work and meet people as many as I can while I'm working. Why I want those things is that my personality is just like that. I'm kind of an active person, and I like to meet people and talk to them. If I find the job, which I just talked about, I will be enjoying my job, and I will visit my parents whenever I want because I will work only whenever I want! My mom's job that is a freelancer is just like that. She works so hard during she is working, but she has enough time to do whatever she wants to. I'll work hard of course! I'll have my own house that I'll design and my own car. I'll be very happy every day thank to my lovely daughter, son, and my sweet husband. I need to focus on finding my dream job.

Don't be SUCH a hotel manager!

Well, I still don't understand why the author chose this title. haha.. However, he knows how to communicate with people and explains about that. How to communicate with people? we need to pick people's interest and satisfy the interest. If not, they are not going to neither connect nor talk with us. We also need to come down out of head and need a sense of humor. By the way, what does 'don't be such a scientist' mean? Does it mean we have to dream more and more and make it bigger and bigger? Or, don't stay at the same position? I'm confused because I didn't quiet understand when I watched the video about the book.  Hm, I think I need to watch it one more time when I get back home.

Marshmallow Challenge !!

     Tiago, Hansol, and I tried to make a marshmallow building at around 1:20 p.m. at our class room. First, We were like.. Oh my gash.. how can we make the marshmallow building with spaghetti noodles? That's impossible.. However, we really wanted to win the challenge, so we tried hard! Unfortunately, we got below 20 inches, but I think that's enough to be long! Anyway, we did it!
     I think the purpose of this exercise is cooperation and quick brain rotation. As everyone does, if we have limited time to do something that we've never done, we get panic at the end. We don't know how to do! That made us confused, but we tried to think how we made it together at that time. I realized that cooperation is very important to do this exercise during I was making the structure with my classmates.
     Well, this challenge taught us what cooperation is, and we also need quick brain rotation. If I had more than two children, I would ask them to do the exercise to realize what cooperation is. Our group was lack of time, so we couldn't make over 20 inches structure. However, I think the result is not important that much. The most important thing in the exercise is how much we can cooperate. It was very interesting, and I would like to do it again. HAHA

Who I am in the United States

A hearty bird

Self-confident, playful

Expressing, singing, laughing

A beautiful pink tree is growing on my mind

A dancing dolphin

Who I am in my country

An exhausted bird

Narrow, awkward

Vanishing, hiding, running

The leaves are falling down on my mind

A small island on the sea

Imaginatively

Establish place and character

I remember the day when I was travling in Malaysia, I met a person who was from the U.S. This man who was wearing a swimming suit, talked about his entire life, which was great and peaceful. We met at a swimming pool, which has emerald green water and a pink spin slide and played hip-hop music. The man, who was named Puppy Balloon, was carrying a small white pouch which had werid powder. The powder smelled of tropical fruit, and it was colored crystal purple. We talked about my favorite food which is sweet flavor Thai noodles and yellow kiwi. When I left, he threw me a small toy box which was made of wood, painted smooth sky blue on it and has a cute dog sticker on it. The sticker was pretty sticky.


Describe possessions of imaganative character

When I was listening classic music and was alone at home, I opened the wooden toy box. As soon as I opened it, I could hear amusement park music which came from the box. I had also smelled something sweet while I was trying to listen the music closely. After that I found a brown teddy bear which had a gentle red bow tie in it. The brown fur was not only smooth but also fragrant. The bear made me remain my past which was around 18 years ago. I also found a small silver notebook which has a beautiful scenery picture on it. I opened the notebook and I figured out that it was poems.

Today is like...

Weather: Today, weather is sunny with cool wind and pretty warm.
Description of Clouds: Blue sky except clouds.
Place: In front of R.O.T.C. building.

What do I see?
Many trees are around me,and  a big bell is in front of me. Also, a machine (well, I don't know what that is though) is over there. Bugs are following me and bothering me. Many cars are parked at the parking lot.

What do I hear?
Car's engine sound is so loud from the highway. Bird are quiet today.

What do I smell?
The grass, my perfume (so good,) and spring smell.

What are you touching/feeling with your finger?
Well, I'm touching sticky paper and my hard pencil.

Questions?
No.1 Why are birds so quiet today? Are they depressed?
No.2 On the highway, Why do people look that much busy? Where are they going?
No.3 Why are all bugs following and bothering me? Do they think I love them? ...Bugs..

Who am I?

My name is Amy Shin. Amy means a lovely girl. Oops!!! My actual name is Yeojin shin. I’m from South Korea and this is my Korean name. Yeojin means a precious and a valuable woman. I came to the U.S. 1 year ago because of only English. I have fallen in love with English since I was 3 years old. I learned English at an English institute in Korea at that time, and I enjoyed the class SO MUCH. Also, I visited my aunt’s family in the U.S. when I was 12 years old. At that time, I totally seriously fell in love with America.  I met a lot of Americans and also my cousins who are mixed (my aunt is Korean and my uncle is American.) After I came back to Korea, I tried so hard to come to America again. And, I made it. I want to stay here FOREVER. Yea, I’m saying I want to live in the U.S. I love American culture, American hip hop music, and English. There is nothing to need for the reasons.

What is the color of me? I think bright Emerald green is like me (I mean I want to be.) I saw the color of sea when I went to Malaysia for my vacation. It could NOT be described by words. The color made me imagine pure and beautiful things and heaven. Seriously, I could imagine how the heaven looks like when I saw the sea in Malaysia. The heaven should be just like the sea.

I’m like a feather quilt. Why am I? Well, because I want to cure people’s heart and listen how they are suffered. I’m not saying I’m a doctor. I’m saying I’m just like the feather quilt. I want people to be comfortable and calm at least when they are with me. I want to be a comfortable friend to everyone like the feather quilt. It lets people take a rest and feel comfortable when they go to bed. I’m trying to be it so that everyone who is close with me can be comfortable.

By the way, I’m still not sure what I want to do. And also, I don’t think everyone can answer if someone asks them about the question. Sometimes, I’m very curious who I am and what I want to do. I’m still thinking about the questions. However, there isn’t enough time to think because I’m already 21 years old. After this session, I have to go back to Korea and try to find a job. I know I love English and I love helping people like a kind of services. When I work, I want to use English and help people, but I don’t want to stay at an office every day and every time. I want to move everywhere so that I’m not bored when I work. I love meeting people, talking to them, and also listening to them. I think I have to take my time and think what I want to be carefully.

Life is too short to do what I want. Don’t you agree with me? Time doesn’t wait for me even though I try hard to do my work. No time, no exception. What can I do while I live in the beautiful Earth? Which life can be the happiest life to everyone? If I work so hard and earn so much money, can it be the happiest life? Or, should I meet someone whom I love, get married, and love each other last of my life? I think there is no answer. Nobody can say someone's life is successful. No doubt. 

Well, what I said so far is not enough to tell you who I am. I still don't know. HAHA. I'm 21 years old, pretty young, I think I have some time to think of it. Not enough time though..
