You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar

To me, this idom,"you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar " means that when we make someone to do or accept somethings , more gentle and lovely words or behaviors than scorld will make him or her to do or follow to the ways which I hope. I think always gentle behaviors with all of heart make good results. In my case, I was a teacher before 5 months ago. I could meet students who had unique and lovely personalities. Most students followed my words very well. But, one of them did not focus on me. After a few weeks later, I could hear the reason why she did not focus on me. She missed a lot her previous teacher. What could make her to see me? At that time I thougt like that. As I think her now, I really loved her because she resembled me. I prasied her a lot even though I knew, to her, it was hard to accept me like her previous teacher. However, at the end of our class, I heared that she told her mother that she was sad to apart with me. I was glad to get her mind. Like this , we can let someone do well with soft words and attitudes than strong voice in our life.

saying easy, but keeping a word isn't.

I had experience that keeping a word or promise is really important and hard. Last October or November, I promised that I would treat Korean delicious food to my neighbors and American friend. Sharing something is one of great happiness in our life. Now, I am learning Enlglish here as a foreign student, also I would like to introduce Korea's beautiful cultures to somebody who I could meet. To me , some Korean foods are easy to make, because I have cooked many times since I have been here. One day, I had conversation with my neighbors, we talked diverse topics, also we found that we all of us love to eat home made foods. At that time, I wanted to cook Korean food, which I never had made, to eat together. So I said them that I would like to treat you Korean food. They really interested in my words. After preparing materials, I could cook it well. A few days later, I met my American friend, Julie. We talked about our daily life and other things too. With glad mind , without thinking, I told her that I would like to cook for you. After getting back home, I realized that I had to do lots of assignments; however, I did not want to broke my words. So I made food again. In my memory, the period was not so good, because I had to keep my words and assignments together. Sometimes, I am so tired because I have to keep my words surely. Before saying or promising, we must consider about if we really can do it withoout concerns. ^-^ Now, I am thinking about what I promised.

Do you know my future??

After I finish language pathology in the graduate unverisity , I would like to have experiences ,which are connected with my major, a lot on the field. Based on those experiences, also, I would like to build my own language pathology clinic in the beautiful natural environment for research or cure. So I hope, I would marry someone who is going to live in similar field in the future. The money ,which I am going to earn with right way, I hope, I will use it for reducing hunger of physical that someone is still experiencing.

Happy Thanks giving Day.

Each Thanks Giving Day which is the 15th day of lunar August, my mom prepares new rice powder to make a kind of Korean rice cake, Songpyeon. After mom finished preparing materials
for songpyeon, all family members sat together around our table to make Songpyeon. My grandmother used to talk us that if we make songpyeon well, you would have a pretty daughter after you marry. My grandma's rice cake was really pretty and delicious. Lots of our relatives visit our home to share talking and some joyful game, Yut, which is a kind of stick game. All inside of our house filled with various food smell: savory Korean pan cakes, sweet songpyeons ,traditional beverage," a sweet rice drink", and etc. Usually, my sister goes back to her workplace earlier than other guests who visit their home for the holiday. So, I was so sad. For the holiday, lots of people head to their hometown at the same time, this brings traffic jam; however. people repeat this event to share their thank on Thanks Giving Break.

A Calm Garden

Under the light or sometimes, strong sunbeams, I could read a book at the garden of house in Iowa city before weather change. In our garden, there are two white wooden chairs. Our garden's size is not large; however, some divese flowers bloomed as if a bride make a shy smile at her groom. Roses are my favorite flower. Sadly, there were no roses. During reading books, I could here song of brid. The sky of Iowa city was really high above our garden. Whenever I was in garden, I felt joy of nature. Now, because of strong and cold weather, it is hard to meet beautiful flower faces. Then my favorite plave is gone? No. I am waiting spring to see the beautiful faces again.

Be lovely like a fall

I grew up in countryside of Korea. Every fall, I could smell of new rice on the field wherever I passed. Deep blue sky, lots of dragonflies flying in the air to here and there and blooming cosmoses on the road gave me a great pleasure to feel fall. There is an interesting story that if someone caught a leaf which is falling from the tree, he or she could meet his destiny in a few period. So, when I was a high school student, me and my friends tried to catch some falling leaves. Sometimes, I think that scene when I pass under the tree. Oh, I have a fun memory. When I was an elementary student, I always drew poster for preventing fire in the mountain in fall, because fall is dry season. A few days ago I wanted to take pictures a big tree having colorful leaves where in front of my house. Also, a red car always is parked beside the tree. They matched perfect. However, now the beautiful leaves are gone. Fortunately, I can still see other beautiful scenes that leaves are dancing with fall wind outside of my room windows. In Iowa city, I could see wonderful landscapes like background of fairy tale stories. Last fall, I did not know that fall passed because I worked so hard. ^^* These days, I can enjoy seeing beautiful leaves.

Give Your Heart.

My house is center of our small town in An myeon do. On the way home, after finishing my work,I could smell good near my home. And then one word came out from my mind. "Who would be today's guests?" My parents really love to talk with neighbors or friends ,and treat something good to them. In my memory, I have hardely seen that there are no people in the evening at our home. So I know something small detail family history of my neighbors. One day, I questioned my mom. " Mom, do you know the reason why lots of neighbors visit our home often?" Mom said to me " Kyung hee, In my opinion , the reason is because Dad has a good personality." Always my mom respects my dad. My parents always discuss something together. My dad has never decided anything by himself whitout my mom's agree.

When I was in a serious problem, My dad told me with grabbing my hand , " Our daughter, Kyung hee , I stand beside you. Do not concern about it. " My dad surpports me and other siblings like those warm words when we have some not good situations. He teaches me words and behaviors with all of your heart can help your friends certainly.


Just hearing the word, family I can take a rest. Therefore my parents show me what family is.
