My proudest time in my life

To get into college, I need GPA, SAT or TOEFL. I was so worried about my college. My GPA is so low. I was not sure about my SAT score. I took 5 SAT tests. When I took first time, I just went to test place to know how the test look like. I only solved math questions. In critical reading section, I just pick any number and slept. Mr. Lee told me that SAT likes simple sentences. So I choose shortest answers for writing section. I got 640 on math, 330 on critical reading, and 380 on writing. I got 1350 total. When I saw my score first time, I was so surprised that I got this score. But when I asked my classmates, my score was similar to my classmates. Even though I didn’t study math, I got 640. I was so proud of myself. I studied hard on every sections especially math. Most schools that I researched don’t require TOEFL if international student took SAT. One of student who got into college told me that official tests are so important such as SAT or TOEFL. Colleges also see GPA. But if people who have a low GPA got high SAT score, the colleges will consider because levels of school are different. Some school gives students good grade without hard work, but some schools are not. Mr. Tessen also told us that to get into good college we need to have whether got high GPA or got high scores on SAT. I know that my GPA is too low, so I studied hard to get good SAT score. On my second SAT, I got around 1450. On my third SAT, I got around 1600. On my fourth SAT, I got around 1700. On my last SAT, I got around 1800. I am planning to apply most of my colleges in common app. In common app, I can choose good scores. My best score on math is 740. My best score on critical reading is 530. My best score on writing is 590. I can make 1860 on common app. I checked my final score in PC room in Korea. When I saw this score, I could feel my heart pumping so fast. When I calculate this total, I screamed. Even though people who were there looked at me, I was so happy. I took my cell phone and called my father and mother. When I told my scores to my father, I could feel his feeling. He looked so happy. I attended SAT academy in last summer. We took test every Monday. They send my score to my father every week. I really studied hard in academy, but I got bad grade on my tests in academy. My friends were in the lowest level class. I wanted to study with them. When I went up, I didn’t study. I just slept. So on next test, I picked any number to stay with my friend. So my father didn’t express his feeling, but I could see his real feeling. So I promised him that I will get 1800 on SAT. When I got this score, I thought that anyone can get this score. Even I got 1800, so I thought everyone can get this score. But whenever I asked people, they told me 1800 on SAT is not bad. My proudest time in my life is when I saw this score.

If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would...

If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would do plastic surgery. I really want to do plastic surgery especially my eyes. I want to make my eyes bigger. I don’t have double eyelid. So I need to draw eye line bigger and bigger with my eyeliner. Even though I draw big, if I open my eyes, the liners are gone. If people who have double eyelid only draw eye line thinner than my eye line, their eyes look bigger and beautiful. When I make double eyelid by myself, I think I am better with double eyelid, but my mom doesn’t want me to have plastic surgery. So if I have one million dollars, I would do plastic surgery for my eyes.
If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would get a shot to make my legs pretty. Most Korean stars get shots on legs to make their legs thin and pretty. Especially girls’ generation is good example. When they first debut, they were thin, but legs were not like today. Today, girls’ generation’s legs are perfect because of shots. Their legs were known in Japan too. When they first debut in Japan, Japanese interested their legs first. Girls’ generation always wear shorts to reveal their legs. Even though I lose my weight, I am not sure about my legs. I need some science technology. Getting one shot costs around $800. It is too expensive. We cannot get a shot only once. It is wasting our money. We need to get shots several times. So I need a lot of money to make my new legs.
If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would pay tuitions for my universities. My father spent too much money to grow me up for me. I don’t want my father to help me anymore. Since I am a international student, I need too much money to attend colleges. I cannot pay my any tuition now. But if I had one million dollars, I will pay all my tuition.
If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would give my money to my parent, aunt, and grandmother. I am really happy that those four are my family. My father and mother always support me. They always give me what I want. I like my mother’s side, but I don’t like father’s side. When we go to my father’s side, they think my father need to pay and do everything whatever they want even though they have 2 sons and 1daughter besides my father. When we go there, we always buy our meal. But when we go to mother’s side, grandmother and aunt do everything for me. I don’t care what they do, but I can feel their heart. My grandmother always cooks so many kinds of food for us. She wants us to eat what she made. My aunt always listen my problems and try to solve them. She buys whatever we want. I thank for them. If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would give my money to parent, aunt, and grandmother. I don’t feel wasting money when I spend my money for them even though I don’t have one million dollars.

Three things I want to do during summer

After I graduate Saipan International School, I will be staying in Korea for 3 months before I go to United State for my college. When I went to Korea for every vacation, I had to attend academy for SAT. But I will be free in this summer vacation. I am planning to do many things for myself.
First of all, I really want to travel many places. I am planning to travel with my family first. I want to spend my time with my family especially with my father. I couldn’t live with my father for almost 4 years, and I am leaving again after 3 months. We didn’t decide where to go, but we are planning to travel when we have time. I already planned to travel with my friends. I am planning to go Hong Kong with my four best elementary school friends. We planned this plan two years ago. And we planned to go somewhere with all my elementary school friends. We didn’t decide the place to go, but we are going to rent one place to play and sleep. I planned to go Pusan with three Saipan best friends. We are going to ride KTX to go Pusan. We will go to heawoondae, eat famous food in Pusan, and play around in Pusan. I also planned to go Jeju Island with my Hackers, my SAT academy, friends. My one of friends has villa in Jeju Island. So we are going to sleep there. We will rent a car. We are going to eat famous food especially black pig, and go to famous place in Jeju Island. Before I go to United States, I want to spend most of my time with my family and friends.
Secondly, I want to work as part job. I am 20 years old in Korea now. I am adult. When I went to Korea, my mother always gave me her card. I spend money around 2000dallors in one month using her card. When I told my plan to my mother, she also wanted me to try to work as part job to know how hard it to earn money is. I really want to earn money by my hands. I really wanted to work as part job before I go to college. So I looked for part job in website “Heaven of Part job.” When I looked for part job to know kinds of part job few months ago, I was shocked because companies don’t give money what I expected. For example, if I work 9 A.M to 5 P.M, I get around 1000dallors in one month. I thought that if I work 3 hours every day, I could get around 1500dallors in one month. So I planned to work for two months to get around 3000dallors. I wanted to give gifts for my family before I go to college. I also planned to use money for my travel with my friends. But the company gives so little money to people who are working as a part job. So I think I cannot use my money for traveling, but I still want to buy gifts for my family.
Lastly, I want to go three academies during my long summer vacation. My first academy will be the speaking academy. I have lived in Saipan for 4 years, but I am still afraid to speak English. My friends are all Koreans. There are so many Korean in Saipan. So I don’t need to speak English that much. But I want to have many other countries’ friends in college. I need to speak English will to communicate with my future friends and professors. So I really want to learn speaking. My second academy is drum academy. I really wanted to learn drum since I was in middle school. But I had no chance to learn. After I finish all my college application, I will learn drum in Saipan too. If I go to college, I cannot learn drum anymore. My plan is to learn every skill to play drum so that I can play drum directly when I see music. My last academy is dance academy. I really like to dance. I always dance before I sleep to lose my weights. I am also planning to join dance club in colleges. To join the club, I need to know how to dance. I can dance by every girl singers. I can follow their dances only watching their performances. No one taught me how to dance, but I already know dances around 20 songs. I also can follow boy’s performances. But there are limits. I want to learn hip hop such as pop pin and moonwalk.
I have so many things to do in this summer vacation. I am going to travel, work, and attend academies. It will be busy vacations. But it will be going to be my most memorable vacation in my life also.
