First notebook entry: Introducing myself My name is Seo Yun Jeon. I was born in South Korea and my birthday is October 7th. I’m 17 years old. I’m a student of Salesio Girl’s High School in Korea. I have a father, mother, older sister, and older brother. The closest family member is my sister. My hobby is a making something with my hands, like cooking or painting. My personality is kind of strange. I’m helpful and emotional but when I meet someone first, I’m shy. When someone and I get closer, I change into a very active person. Maybe I can even do a funny dance in front of someone! I’m good at math and biology. I like eating, traveling, chattering with my friends and I hate studying and working out. I consider my friends, relationship, and memories are very important in my life. I have so many wonderful friends that I will not be able to live without them. I love to write letters to friends and I have been collecting all traces like my diaries, letters from friends or family, tiny piece of paper that friends and I wrote in a middle of class, photos, short videos, presents for me. I think these are precious memories, whether it is good memory or not. When I grow up, I can see it and refresh my memory. I should attend high school one year more. Because I am spending one year in America, I’m not sure that I will be able to follow important Korean subjects. In addition I’m afraid to go to university. In any case, I hope everything is going to be okay when I go back to my country.
