Looking unfamiliar2 -In the library (Park Jeong Min)

In the Library, I can see many people are struggling with reproting, writing and reading.

However, If I look that situation unfamiliar, I can find that whole building is full of passion and different visions.

In my opinion, the most hot temperature is a place, which is a library.

Would you give me another example that having a passion, full of energy?

Oh, there are a lot of example of it; such as, in the traditional market, subway, bus and so on.

Whenever you look our society unfamiliar, we can notice amaizing truth or re-discovery around us.

looking unfamiliar (낯설게 보기)-1 park Jeong Min

The things that I am wearing, eating, listening, watching, and having are representate our own identity.

I prefer to wear blue jean and shirt, some times I prefer to wear a skirt. This shows my daily emotion, personality , likeness, brand preferance. Overall these are shows my Identity.

What we are eating, buying, listening, watching and so on are quite different from others or some people are struggle to follow celebrities style.

I am so sorry to see that happening becase this means, people who follow other's identity is losing own's preicious identity.

I hope everyone has own identities and don't get stress or follow what other's do.

Life

I think, life is a day and it's sumation.

Strat in the morning is fresh and we have a lot of expectation about whole day which is not happened.

After noon is full of hot and full of energy and passion. Lkewise, our mid age is same as the afternoon.

Getting dark, we are face to old.

Night is the end of the day and we prepare for tommorw. This means, for the future, we are sleeping.
--------------In Korean-More detail.------------------------------------------------------
하루는 한 사람의 인생과 같고 이는 각각의 하루가 모인 집합이라고 생각한다.

아침은 참으로 신선하고 맑다. 이와 같이 엄마의 뱃속에서 갓 태어난 고귀한 생명체인 우리는 참으로 가능성이 무한하고 미래가 밝다.

오후는 하루 중 가장 뜨겁다. 실로 우리의 인생에서 청년의 나이, 많은것을 경험해 나아가고 성숙해지며 지칠 줄 모른다. 바로, 열정으로 가득 차있는 단계이다.

저녁은 황혼의 단계를 지나 어느덧 마무리 단계이다. 인생에서의 마무리단계...
오후의 열기가 사그러드는 이때, 하지만 나는 저녁이 단지 차갑고 어둡다고 생각하지 않는다.

저녁은 내일을 위한 준비요, 가장 많은 추억을 지닌 부자의 단계라고 생각한다.
그러므로 가장 아름다운 단계라고 생각한다.

이렇듯 우리는 하루하루 인생을 살아간다.
또한 인생은 우리의 하루하루 이다.

참으로 멋지지 아니한가?
그러므로 우리는 매 순간순간을 낭비해선 안된다.
누군가 이야기 했다. 젊은시절 평범하게 사는것은 크나큰 죄악이라고...

Who is SoYoung?

Who is So-young?

Challenge and change, I always flutter with these words. These words are the key words that speak for me. My name is So-young, Shin. I love my name, especially, when I write my name in English, because its pronunciation same with ‘so young’ that meaning is young. I feel passion in my name, but, I’m not satisfied with the meaning of my name which is white flower. It is completely a meaning of girl name. It is too weak and not enough to speak for my personality and my dream.

If I express my life to use a word, it is “challenge”. I experience comparatively many kinds of life. When I was young, my family circumstance was not good. My parents were always busy for their works. So my brother and I should be brought up by my grandparents from 4 to 10. But I never felt lonely, the reason why my grandmother always good take care of me like mom. When I was 6, my grandfather’s health went bad, so I moved to a village where is remote from town. I was brought up in the little county village from 6 to 10, I went a small elementary school, there is just one class for each grade, and the total students of the school are under 100, there are just 2 friends in my village. There is a so remote village. Even there was not a supermarket. Until I was 10, I had not ever studied. I just played outside all day long. I lived with nature. It is the special method of my grandmother’s education. Although I didn’t do the early education, I learned the great love and faith from my grandmother. I always really thanks for the happiness time when I was in a small village with my grandmother. It was very memorable experience in my life.

When I was 11, I came from a little country village to Seoul. At the first time, the new city, a new house, new environment, new school and new friends, all of things are strange, all of new conditions make me so stressful, in truth, I usually met my parents just once a month, so I felt unusual when the first time I live with my parents. It is a very sad story. It probably is a unique experience. I lived in Yeongdeungpo-gu for four years, and then I moved to Mok-dong when I was 15, because my mother wanted that I go to better school for studying. I graduated Wolchon middle school in Mok-dong. The students who went the school are very smart and the school’s exam has a high level. The school life was very tough. I couldn’t follow them if I didn’t go to several kinds of academies. I went a general academy, but I need to go to five extracurricular lessons for follow the academy class. In truth, I don’t have any memorable things during my middle school life. I just was used to go to school, academies, and a reading room. I leaded meaningless life. In my last winter vacation when I was 16, I was going to extracurricular lessons for high school courses as usual, but suddenly I was stifling, I couldn’t endure the environment and the life without meaning and passion. I never thought about the question: “who am I?” as soon as I realized that I desired to change my life, I put into action, and, after 2 weeks, I left from Korea.

Studying abroad is not a study tour. I had to seriously decide to the choice. But I choose the huge country, and freedom. I regretted as soon as the gate was closing in Incheon airport. I regretted at that time even though I never say the word to my parents. The first thing what I learned in China is responsibility and patience. I never called to my mother and father during 2 weeks accept a call when I arrived at school, and my parents also never give me a call during 2 weeks, we didn’t talk about it, but we did as like we promised, I’m sure my mother understood my emotion. I couldn’t speak Chinese. And I had no friends, because I told my roommates atrociously. The fist night when we arrived at school, my two roommates cried all night, but I couldn’t, I thought if I cry once, I would cry again and again when I felt sad. So I didn’t. However, the second night, they cried again, it make me sad too, so I turned on light and told them, “Why did you come here? You came to China to cry every night? If you want to cry all night, go to bathroom.” I didn’t want to say like that, I also wanted to cry, I also didn’t sleep all night, and actually I understood them, but I acted as I was strong. After the night, I loosed my friends. I had to hug them, instead of shouting. I didn’t know because of I was so young. I didn’t talk anybody, not only my roommates, but also all of schoolmates during 3 weeks. After few months, I was so sick, I had a headache and fever, and I couldn’t eat anything during 10 days, I loosed 4kg of weight. At that time my roommates took care of me a lot, one night, I have a high fever, although I can’t speak any word because of I was so sick, I faintly saw my roommates was crying, and I cried too. Though the time, my personality was changed a lot. I first talked to other people and greeting, and I made many Korean and Chinese friends, my Chinese ability also developed a lot. I don’t know exactly, what made me changed, but the change made me so happy. After 1 year, I move to Shanghai from Tianjin. Although I didn’t want to separate with my friends, I wanted to see modern China and bigger world. Actually, I met my best friend and teacher in Shanghai and the time is my most happiness time in my life. Developed world, good school, travels, and new experience, I spend beautiful time in Shanghai for 1 year and 6 month. Then I went back to Tianjin for prepare the university entrance exam. I live in apartment alone, but I was so familiar with my Chinese teacher, she usually slept in my home Monday to Thursday. It was very interesting and helpful time to me. I leaned many Chinese cultures from her. After 6 month, I moved to Beijing to go to professional academy which is prepared to enter the university. Almost of all students go to the Academy September, but I didn’t want to separated with my teacher, I went the academy on December, I had have an entrance exam on may, I had to study hard, but I studied in the highest class, so I never thought I couldn’t go to Qinghwa university, but I couldn't. In the morning, when I had graduate ceremony, I heared the unbelievable new in the hair salon.I didn’t cry, because I didn’t believe it. The day I have a graduate speech at ceremony, actually I didn’t have any memorize about the day. And I couldn’t go back to Korea. I stayed 3 more days at hotel with my mom, because I was so sick.

As I told in the above, my teenager period was not perfect, I was lonely, and I was hurt a lot, and I failed. After I came back to Korea, I hung out a lot, because I suffered unfairness. I never hung out in China I never was lazy. I always did my best to study, and what I could get from my victim? I planned to go to backpack travel to Japan. I went Japan for a week. And I realized that the reason is on me. Because of I didn’t look around, I always look forward, I was followed by time blindly.

January 16th, 2009, I came back to Korea from China forever and ever. I quitted university. I was not a student and also not a overseas student. I didn’t have any title in front of my name. Now I am a Newcastle student. I don’t have any the other way to give up. It is my last chance. Actually, dong-il Lee professor let me write a easy about myself, I was so worried. Because I didn’t think about the question before I joined the Newcastle program. I love the class because the class is the only time to listen to myself. Although still I don’t know who and I exactly, and I don’t know the stories which I wrote in the essay is the my identity, I know now I don’t scare challenge and change. It is my strongest point. And I will find out the perfect answer of the question “who am I?” during the semester.(August,2009)

Thank you*^^*
