Weekend Happenings!

I had an experience this weekend that gave me a little inspiration for work as well as just focus in general.

Growing up I never was able to bond well with kids. Ironically I always found jobs though that made me interact with kids. Nowadays kids are my strong as well as week point. I feel like I am getting worn out by them but at the same time thier youth and innocence compels me to keep trying.

After work on Saturday I ended up helping to decorate the Academy for Halloween. I played with some kids there too. There is this young girl who was afraid of me because I am different and tall. By the end of the time at the Academy that night she wanted me to sit next to her and share dinner with me.


I have many girlfriends at the Academy. haha


I want the kids to truly open themselves up to me and learn from me.



When I went shopping this weekend I ended up talking to random kids because I am the only foreigner amongst a crowded Korean version of Walmart. "LOTTE MART" Taxi drivers still can't hear my Korean correctly even though Lotte Mart is written in English. I have been here for 4 months and a week and I am still hesitant about taking a taxi simply because the drivers are so strange to me. Sometimes, I have a good driver.


Sunday, it was so cold I bought myself a nice fleece in order to stay warm. My weekend is going to end in a few hours and before it does I just want to relax and enjoy the last few moments of freedom.


Its a new week, new hope new goals. Anything is possible and I am going to make the best of it.

I want to continue trying and learning anything that is possible.

More later
