The Gods Must Be Crazy

When I watched this movie, I laughed a lot. It was funny and found many differences from modern life style. Xixo who is a bushman in Kalahari looked happy. He can hunt without a gun, and he can journey without a car. If I live like a bushman, how long can I live well. Can I always feel happy? It is unimaginable for me. He does not know about improved modern product. He just followed the laws of nature. He does not need money and even a bottle. People come from nature and go back to nature. I think we are a part of nature. I thought about it again through the movie.

Tree & Flower

It is my birthday on April fifth. That day was holiday for planting in Korea until a few years ago. And according to Asian-Theory, yinyangschool, they said my symbol is a tree by my birthday. Magically, whenever I see a tree, I feel comfortable so much. I love to enjoy walking at park and mountain with contemplation. Especially, there are many trees which are various in Vancouver, so I am really pleased. Many flowers are blooming in April. Green leaves and flowers give me new energy and relaxation, but I do not know their English name unfortunately. I want to know that so I decide to study about gardening. Gardening is helpful for my health, and I am going to do as a hobby from now on.

Remembering Friends Name

I have met many friends in ESL class. They are from different country, so I am difficult to remember their names. I could not pronounciate the word correctly. Whenever I see them, I have to say sorry to them and ask their name again. Now I have a good idea. If I know meanings of their name, I could remember that well. They could do it well, too. First, when I meet new friend, I always tell my name with meaning of my English name. My name is from st. Gemma in Italian. The meaning is jewel or gem. More over it feels kind and wise; I want to be a kind and wise woman. Most friends said that my name matched me well. For example, one of my friends name is Megan who from Greek. Her name means pearl. She has white skin and blonds’ hair like pearl. In addition, if you know origin of English name, you can understand easily. For example, Mc which is from Scottish means “son of ~”, so that Mcdonald means son of Donald. Also, Tailor in the name means their job in the past. If a student as an ESL class student can make friends who are from different country, the student will enjoy chance to learn different culture from own native country.

Changing Mind by Environment

I have changed my mind due to many kinds of experience. When I was a student, I am shy and inactive. After graduating university, I have gotten many kinds of jobs. I was a reporter at local news Paper Company, so I had to interview many people. At first day, I was afraid to meet new person, but I can enjoy talking with new one and listening well now. By the job, I have changed my personality from shy to cheerful character. Next, after marriage I wanted to study more, so I went to university for M.A. degree. During studying, I was a teaching assistant. Most students in my class were professionals as a boss in their company. Their leadership and diligence amazed me. Even though after working, they did not late at school, and they rolled well as a student. They are very curious about everything, and they have a strong responsibility. After I found the especial characters, I wanted to make up my weakness. After all, I have changed more strong mentally, and I have known that I can do anything. Because I experienced different environment, I realized my weakness and goal. I have lived in Canada as an immigrant for one year, so that new environment asks to me changing my mind more powerful like a soldier.
