MLK Day

The third Monday in January in the United States is designated as the legal public holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. He is famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech. Write about your dream for the future people of your country.
      
 I love my country South Korea. So, I have two big dreams for the future of South Korea.
 First problem is air pollution. Korea is really small, but lots of people are living there. Even though right now, air pollution in Seoul is serious. Most of people wear a mask. I have a rhinitis, so when I was in Korea I always had a cold  easily. I hope air pollution gets better for the future, so many people can live more healthily.
Second problem is study. All Koreans study at school all night long. High school is over at 9:00 PM. And, after school they don’t go to home. They immediately go to a private educational institute. They usually come back home at 12:00 PM. Then, they go to bad around 2:00 AM. In Korea, teenager life is study all day long. I don’t think this is a good education. Lots of students decide to suicide themselves because of their grade. I hope it gets better in the future, and also I hope parents don’t give too much pressure and stress to them.

I hope these problems will be better for the future of South Korea. Especially, I hope education will get better, so students can enjoy their teenager life.

The best winter

This past winter break I had the best time because I went to Korea, which is my country, and my home. I was so happy because I saw my family and friends. I missed them so much.
Firstly, I went to the PSY concert for Christmas-Eve in Seoul. One of my best friend came to Seoul for me even she lives in Busan. It started at 11:45PM on Christmas-Eve and it ended at 4:00AM in the morning. It was so much fun.
Secondly, I went to hair salon and died my hair. I was glad that finally I can change my hair style because I couldn't do anything in America.
Lastly, I become 20 years old in Korea, and also I saw the first sunrise in Jan1st, 2014. It was my first time to see sunrise in my entire life. It was really beautiful.
 
 Last year, I was in America for Christmas and New Year. I didn't go to the Korea; I was studying at the camp. That was such a depress winter break to me, but I was really glad that I went to Korea for this winter.
