The media become a friend to kids.

They replace the part of parent.

They become one who talk.

They rule over kids.

In MY Board

I am female Asain Christian young student,
but I am not writing for standing on one side of race, religion, sex, or generation.
I hope to write about our reality, our life experience,and our responsibility( the things that happened, are happening,and will happen).
I can make a mistake, but I am not typing to hurt somebody.
I am a human being, so I can be emotional or irrational.
However, I am not trying to criticize or insult a human being.

Today

Covering all over with wounds

   I can't stand on grounds

 No one know my gash

 You finger on my slash

 Tonight is dreadful

 Today is frightful

Saving one kid from fire

They are captivated to admire

Every one know my case

You finger on my face

Tonight is raptured

Today is blessed

They said I am a savior

Oh yes I save a life

Today is one of historical day

I can't forget tonight

They said I am the looser

Oh mom I end my life

Today is one of my last day

Can't you not forget me?

Journal 5

The first time that I thought about the subject for this last essay, I wan to argue about the racism. Even though I just spend one year in United States, I felt a lot about the race and at the dormitory, I saw some cases which white Americans stood against black American. However I am born in Asian, and grow up at Korea, so I will naturally take a side for Asian. Even though I will try to see as the third person, my nature will bother me to stand at the middle. Therefore, I choose the condition of culture-addiction to teenager and youth. When you look around, you could easily see people with MP3 or cell-phone. Its become a mandatory items to live our present world. Those utilities give a usefulness to our life and help us to release our stress, however, the problem is we couldn't live without one of those. Simply saying, it owns our mind. It become a huge problem especially to teenager and youth. So I will discuss it, "Can it be positive or negative to youth and teenager?".
