My favorite super hero

 

There are a lot of powerful super heroes around the world, and they usually save people and world from atrocious villain. Such as Batman, Ironman, Wonder woman, Superman, wolverine, Hulk, and Thor etc… Among those super heroes, I can say that my favorite super hero is Ironman. Ironman is a super hero that wear a hand made suit ( suit that has really powerful armor, can fly, and able to have lot of weapons like lasers, bullets, and bazooka etc…) , made by Anthony Tony Stark. I will tell brief story of Anthony Tony Stark that why he decided to be a super hero.

Anthony is"Tony" Stark was born to Howard Anthony Stark and Maria Collins Carbonell Stark, who were parents of Anthony Tony statk and they were the owners of the big company, prominent US firm, Stark Industries. As a boy, Tony was good at building and controlling machines. At the age of 15 Tony entered the undergraduate electrical engineering program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and graduated with two master’s degrees by age 19. Tony went to work for Stark Industries, but showed more interest in living a reckless playboy lifestyle than using his engineering skills. At the age of 21, Tony inherited Stark Enterprises when his parents were killed in a car accident secretly orchestrated by rival corporation Republic Oil. Still lacking in business acumen, Tony promoted Secretary Virginia "Pepper" Potts to be his executive assistant to make company as a stable company and he could avoid his burden.

            Tony personally went to have a test of his military hardware at one of his international plants which was located at other country; however, soon after his arrival Stark’s party was attacked by a gang of terrorists led by the Sin-Cong revolutionary Wong Chu. They shoot type of bazooka that has little shrapnel in it so, during the skirmish, a piece of shrapnel lodged near Tony’s heart. Wong Chu took Tony Stark back to his camp; Tony shared a cell with Professor Ho Yinsen, a world-famous physicist. Wong-Chu demanded that the two scientists develop advanced weaponry for his forces. Knowing that he could not live long with the shrapnel so close to his heart, Tony proposed that he and Yinsen devote their gifts to creating one of the battlesuits he had been developing, equipped with a magnetic field generator to prevent the shrapnel from reaching his heart. The armor they created became the first true Iron Man armor and was equipped with crude magnetic weaponry for defense.

While the armor’s battery was being powered, some of Wong-Chu’s men attempted to break in on the proceedings. Yinsen went to create a diversion and was shot to death by Wong-Chu’s men. When the battery had finished charging, Tony went into battle as Iron Man and tore Wong-Chu’s camp apart. He could beat everyone in the camp and the Iron man suit was so successful. Eventually he could escape from the Wong-Chu’s camp and got back to his country, USA. After he came back to his company he realized that weapons should not made in his company, because he found out that his company’s weapon kills a lot of innocent people and he also realized from what Yinsen’s saying, “don’t waste of your life with making weapons.”  After he thinks a lot, he changed his mind to save weak people to beg his forgiveness that what he did before. He tried to improve his suit much better and better to save weak people a lot. He became superhero by his own special talent not from super natural ability. I got impression a lot from Tony Stark’s story and it really gave lessons to me. Those are the reason why my favorite hero is Iron man.

             

           

 

           My Seven Deadly Sins

 

             Today I’m going to talk about my seven deadly sins. I made a lot of sins in my life and I decided to get rid of these sins, so my life would be joyful and never worrying. One of the my seven deadly sins would be laziness. Laziness ,in many cases, leads to poor health, low self-esteem, lack of hope, and low self-confidence, among other things that I just don't see. It also robs a person of a sense of accomplishment, a sense of self-worth, and self-development. Second, I play computer games often so it is also my one of the deadly sins that I have to get rid of. Playing games do not need much physical activity so it can be harmful to our bodies. So it could be criticized for making you unfit. Many other games are aimed for single player and so could be criticized for isolating me from family and my friend for many hours.

            My third deadly sin is eating fast food too much. Fast food products are often rumored to cause a  variety of health problems. Ingredients that are artificial, high in sugar or fat are not meant to be eaten on a regular basis. Consuming these ingredients regularly can lead to health issues including heart disease, diabetes and cancers. Being aware of these effects is essential to determining whether fast food is safe to include in your diet, particularly if you suffer from heart or digestive issues already. Fast food is often filled with ingredients such as soya, salt, cheese or mayonnaise and is often deep fried, which adds a lot of extra calories without adding any additional nutrition. Given the high amount of calories, it will take a significant amount of exercise to burn off the calories you take in. For example, it would take 7 hours of exercise to burn off the calories in a large Coke, fries and a Big Mac from McDonalds. Consuming this high level of calories without burning them off can lead to additional health issues. My fourth deadly sin is I use smart phone too much when I compared to other kids. Smartphone owners myself included become so immersed in a text, email, game, web search, social network or whatever we do on our smartphones that we end up not paying attention to the world, people and conversations that are taking place around us. My phone may be smart, but the constant use of  my smartphone could be dumbing me down. Think about it. Back before smartphones, you would use your mind to try and solve a problem or answer a question. Today, when you want to know something, you turn to Siri for the answer instead of taking the time to think about it yourself.

             My fifth deadly sin is I get mad very easily. Whenever I face the problems that I don’t want or I hate, I got mad at those problems first and I blame people who are in around those problems. So, people who got blames from me get mad too and Our relationships also getting worse because of this. I have to do meditation and yoga a lot prevent my madness and to make body calm down and make less stresses. My sixth deadly sin is I don’t have ambition right now. I have no certain goal for the future and it would be disaster for me. Deciding goal for my life would be advantages in every way like studying hard, efforts, and goals and ambition can make my future life being precious. My seventh deadly sin is I listen too many songs and it can be distraction for my life. At my period, I have to more focus on studying and deciding my future not wasting of time like listening music. Those are my seven deadly sins and I have to them to be clear out from my life so my life would be much joyful and happy.

My Favorite Trip

I can tell that my favorite trip in my entire life would be Destino Peru. Destino Peru is the school events that having trip to the Peru and all the high school students can prticipate, but not middle school or elementary school students. It appears two years by two years and every students who joined Destino Peru before said it was amazing and interesting events that they ever had. I kept wait for the starting day of Destino Peru which was June 12, 2013. I prepared my stuff like visa, clothes( I borrowed winter clothes from my cousin because, I was living in Saipan so I had no winter clothes.), food( I brought a lot of Korean food because I thought that I will miss Korean food a lot while I am in Peru.) Finally the starting day of Destino Peru came and every student who were going were gathered together for checking their baggage. After checking our baggage and we said goodbye to every our parents and we were ready for the plane. However, the unpredictable happening happens to us which were the plane problem. It was the plane that going to the Guam, nut the plan had some problems so we couldn’t get up the plane for that day. Our plan was all messed up from this happening. Ms. Mili, who was in charge of the Destino Peru, said we have wait one more day to go Guam. It was really weird to me that I already said goodbye to my parents but I have to face them again immediately. It was pretty awkward to me. Anyway, we went back to our own house again and we came back to airport again for the plane. We had to check our baggage again and I got mad from this. I thought I was wasting of time from checking our baggage again. I said goodbye to my parents again and I said I hope this goodbye will be last goodbye for going to Peru. Fortunately, plane was okay and we could get up to going Guam.

 

To get Peru, we have to go Guam, Hawaii, Texas, and finally Peru. There was no any plane that goes directly to the Peru. Having time in Plane was like 30 hours and it was really really really bored and tired. After two days from Saipan airport, we finally arrived at Peru. My first impression of Peru was really really cool. I felt that Peru has beautiful culture in it and the Peru has certain aura that I never felt before. Peru was very cold unlike Saipan ( Saipan is really hot though.) In Lima and Arequipa, we went to school and the students from there were really fun and they explained their country very well to me and I also explained Saipand and Korea to them. After Lima, we went to Lunahuana, and we did river rafting. River rafting in winter….. was fun and kind of painful. River was so cold that I felt like my skin was freezing by cold water.

 

 

The most memorable memory that I ever remember in Peru was went to the Machu Pichu. I learned that Machu Pichu situated on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. The Incas built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. It had beautiful scenary and I couldn’t believe that how they built Machu Pichu in long time ago that has no any particular technology in earth. If I have a chance to go Peru again I want to experience one more time and I want to recommend to everyone that Peru is the best country for having trip.

            IT IS BETTER TO USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAN ASK OTHER PEOPLE FOR ADVICE. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?

         

           While we live in the world, we often face lots of problems, which cost a lot of time and energy to solve them. By having many experiences, people could become more skillful person to deal with other problems. However, I firmly believe that even though they are mature enough to solve many problems, it does not mean that they do not struggle from other problems. Not until they die, people are not free from problems, which mean that they should develop many ways to solve the problems ceaselessly. Some problems allow people to have better experience to develop themselves and provide acknowledge. Meanwhile, problems cause people to fall down deeper and deeper. It can be so hurtful on them that cause people downfall while they are getting experiences from their problems. Some people say that people should solve their problems by themselves, but I am against for the idea.

            First, people can be strong enough to solve problems when they gather together; there is wide range of problems in this world. Some problems from someone else can teach people to be much strong and become more experienced person. We can become wiser by listening to wise people’s advice. We can learn many things from their advice: the key to the problems, helpful information, and even valuable lessons about life. This will help us later in life because someday, we will have to solve problems by ourselves. Meanwhile, there are some cases that even though some people have lots of experiences and knowledge, they can not solve some problems by themselves. Each people have their own certain experience gathered with lots of efforts. Therefore, if they share their problems and try to solve them together, it enables people to save their energy and time. Moreover, they can get experience and knowledge indirect way by solving them together.

            Second, sharing the problems with others make this society become much better society. Nowadays, a lot of students and people influenced by media so many people are isolated from the community, which is so called individualism society. They can’t solve their problems, because they can’t be a creative thinker like other people who read books. People who read books can be a creative thinkers and whenever they got difficult problems,  they can easily solve their problems, because they can make creative thinks. People who played and games can’t make creative solutions to solve their problems. People usually try to solve their problems by themselves, which cause big depression and more isolation and it makes problems worse. Even though many people are already in individualism, people can become happy by communicating with others expressing their emotions and feeling other people’s thought. In this sense I think that asking other people’s advices is essential for human life.

            Third, it is better to ask older people for advice because they have lived longer and have many personal learning experiences to draw from. Therefore, they have more knowledge and are wiser. They can give us advice according to what they have experienced, which is very helpful because it is information that we do not know. Based on their tips and advice, we can solve problems easier and faster. Also, if we listen to many people’s advice, we can think of many solutions to the same problem. It is easier to solve problems when we have more knowledge.

            As we’ve seen this above, asking other people for advice is the best way to solve problems. Like the elderly person and wise people can lead us to better way and solve our problems easily. The next time you have a problem; don’t hesitate to ask people for advice.

My Favorite Metaphor of Love

 

 What is Love? The dictionary defines love as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person and a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. Everyone knows obvious definition of love like above but still many people are asking about what is real definition of “LOVE.”  I firmly believe that there is no real or exact definition of love. However, I can describe the love with the one word as a using metaphor. I believe that Love is “water”.At first, every people in the universe know that water is most essential thing in our lives. Water is one of the most important substances on earth. Basically, all plants and animals including humans must have water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth. Love is the same thing as water. If there is no love on earth and human’s mind, which means people have no any purpose or goal in their lives. People live, because they want to accomplish their goals which mean getting love. Sometimes we think we need more money, when really we need a change of environment, or someone to love. Sometimes we think we want more free time, sometimes we think we want to be alone. It is all related to a love. They live on earth to accomplish their goals and goals are compound of love that what they really want to get. This is the purpose of many people why they want to keep live on earth. Love is intermediate carrying stuff of our lives. It’s the same thing as water. People drink the water to keep live on earth like a love.

There is other examples that I can prove that love is water. Let’s say we accomplished the goals and got the love like got a boyfriend or girlfriend. When we are thirsty the water can be taste really good. It’s same thing as a love. When we feel thirsty of love, which means when we are in period of loneliness, we can feel love as a tasty and getting blossom everywhere after we got love. However, as time goes, people can feel sick of having love. Like a water, when we keep drinking the water, our stomach feel full, which means we don’t want to drink anymore. Not only that but also, when people boil their water, water used to be hot for a moment. When time goes passes, hot water gets colder and colder. Like a couple, they feel each other’s love for first 2 to 3 years, and it usually goes for a moment. After about 3 years later, majority of couple joining in period of lassitude and their love gets colder and colder like water above.

             Moreover, every people know that water is liquid which means it is wavy. Therefore, we are really difficult to hold the water and to hold the water we have to use some tools not only our hands. Love is also difficult like holding water. You must make them happy and making them happy makes you happy. For happiness, love is a simple solution for complex people. From this, love seems simple and easy. However, I believe that making happiness from other people is the hardest thing in our lives. Too make someone happy, have to put lots of efforts on. Have to think and plan to make his or her lover being happy. And also lot of misconception of getting love, is also make people difficult to get their love. Society accepts the bad boy seems to take him more seriously than the good guy. Bad boys seem to have more intrigue, mystery, confidence, and appeal than the good guy. In contrast, from a woman's perspective, they use to like good boys than bad boys. It’s harder for women to love bad boys because many women have been hurt in their previous relationships so it’s harder to open up your heart to a good man. In my result, love is water.

 

DESCRIBE MYSELF

Today’s journalism’s topic is “Describing Me.” Before I start, let me introduce myself. My name is Nam Ki Kim and my nationality is Korea. I born in city named Anyang which is big city that located in Gyong gi do in Korea. My birthday is April eleventh, 1996. I’m in eleventh grade now and I’m studying in the foreign country named Saipan. It located near Guam and it always has hot weather. Also in this island, there are lots of immigrants in here such as, Koreans like me, Japanese, Chinese, Pilipino, Russian etc… Saipan is Small Island and it has all hot weather and beautiful beaches. I can swim whenever I want because Saipan has beaches everywhere.

I have four family members, including me. I have one little brother who plays golf very well and I have my reliable dad and mom. To describe more about my family and me is that I always think about my family. I'm not reliant on them financially, but mentally. I'm always happy to give something to them and live together. However, I should admit that I don’t spend much time with my family, because I'm now more focused on my own life, such studying and playing, rather than spending time with my family. I always want to spend my time with my family before I go to college. The important thing is that I know our life should be balanced between precious things, such as family, work, and friends.  I’m attending in Saipan International School which is locating in Saipan. I also have lots of good friends in my school who make my life much prosperous.  They are so helpful when lots of difficult situation facing to me. My friends sometimes cheer me up when I feel sad and they also advice to me when I go in a wrong way.

I have several valuable hobbies that make my life more interesting. My first hobby is playing golf. I like to practice golf and I go to the golf club three times a week. When I learned golf first time I have had something painful on my left hand. However, it became callus and it becomes not painful anymore. I also like to play soccer. I played like 7 years since 4^th grade. Soccer is my favorite sports among the different kinds of sports. When I was practicing soccer I tried to imitate Ronaldinho who is my favorite soccer player and it really works. It helped me in a lots of way and I can dribble the ball well than before and became more skillful . The last one is watching movies. I saw the movie "Les Miserables" before the summer vacation with my friends.. This musical movie was so emotional and sad. Especially in that movie Anne Hathaway was awesome and her song "I dreamed a dream" was extremely impressive. After watching the movie I downloaded the OST and it became my favorite song..

My favorite food is Korean food. There are many kinds of delicious foods in Korea. Above all, I like Bibimbap. Bibimbap is harmonious. This means that there are many ingredients and colors. For example, to make bibimbop we put fried egg (white and yellow), and many kinds of wild vegetables (green, brown, red, yellow, .... ). From this, we can see lot of colors in bibimbop which looks much healthier and tasty. This is the reason why Bibimbop is my favorite food. Not only that but also,  you have to add red pepper paste and sesame oil. This makes the Bibimbap to tastier.
I also like kimchi. This food goes well with every food. It has so many nutrients, especially lactic acid bacteria.

 

New Year’s Resolution

            As I became eleventh grader, I decided my mind to be a new person.  I made several New Year’s Resolutions that make me into a better person. My first New Year resolution is getting healthier. I can say that the word “Healthy” is the most important word in our lives.  The reason of the importance of getting healthier is to remain as free of disease and illness as possible and to have as long a life expectancy as you possibly can. Like this reason, I want to prevent any painful diseases, so that my life can become much enjoyable and energetic. There is lot of ways to have a healthy life style. First, eating good food can be helpful to getting healthier. Eating good food provides the essential nutrients that your body needs to create new cells, clean toxins, and to function our body well. With these ideas, I will try eat a lot of vegetables and food that have great amounts of nutrients rather than eating junk food or instant food. Second, exercising regularly also can be a good way to become healthier. Doing exercise reduces depression of our body and instantly lifts mood due to the production of endorphins, which is the feel-good hormones of human’s body. Also, exercising leads us sleep better at night. The physical activity will ensure that our body and mind are ready for a comfortable and great night’s sleep. While we sleep, it decreases our stresses and refreshes our body to start new day easily.Also it provides growing hormones that make me to be taller and healthier. In this school year, I will make plan to have a exercise regularly such as playing soccer and golf and volleyball day by day at least one hour per day.

            My second New Year resolution is getting good grade in school. In eleventh grade, there is bunch of difficult subjects that I never experienced before like AP statistics, chemistry, and AP literature etc… To get good grades form these difficult subjects are that read a textbook whenever I have spare time and do homework carefully. I guess that every problem in quiz and test usually come out from the textbook or homework that teachers give us.  Tests and quizzes plays important roll to get a good grades. The reason why that I want to get good grade is university, which means getting better grades can lead me to get into a high level colleges. Everyone can tell that going into a high level college can provides huge amounts great opportunity that can be great sources for the future. Not only that but also I will study more about SAT, which is Scholastic Aptitude Test. The SAT test plays important rolls to get into high level colleges. My wannabe score in SAT in this year is two thousand. There are three sections in SAT test which are Critical Reading section, Math section, and Writing section. Especially, I want to put much effort to Critical Reading sections, because it is my worst section in SAT test compared to any other sections. To achieve good scores in Critical reading section is memorize vocabularies and read lots of books. I have word smart in my house which is the book that has a lot SAT vocabularies.  Critical Reading section tests students about how much that student can understand about passage or sentences of the section. So, reading lots of English books and memorizing vocabularies can improve my understanding skills of English problems, so that I can solve the problem much easier.  I will try to do my best to follow those goals and I can be born again as a NEW PERSON!!!
