My New Home

Next weekend, the big move to Seoul happens! Today, Katelyn and I went to Seoul to find our apartments in Gangnam.  The area is similar to downtown New York with big buildings everywhere.  The apartment is loft-style and fully furnished. In the building, there is a free gym, washer and dryers (although community-- it's next to the gym so it will give me motivation to do both at the same time), a Tom N' Tom's Coffee Shop (my favorite coffee shop in Korea because they serves soft pretzels with cheddar cheese), a hair salon, a pool hall, and a bar.  So, I'll never have to leave my apartment :).  Anyways, I'm super excited and I can't wait to move in next weekend!  Below is a picture.

 Thanks and wish me luck with the move next weekend! 

"One Thousand Dollars - All That Money Can Buy."

I had to share this with everyone.  Below is a book report from one of my best classes.  It was on the book/essay "One Thousand Dollars - All That Money Can Buy" by O'Henry.  I actually got teary-eyed reading this report.  So, enjoy.  I'm going to miss these kids.


"Which one is more important in your life?  I think love is more important.  Because if I have a lot of money I want to buy all of things I wants.  But we can't buy something with money. First it is love.  Love is very important in people's life.  Because when you love one person it is very good for you. Because love made by family. And second is family or person.  Because each person has equal chance.  But in America when Lincoln is president they bought or sold people.  But not white human race only black human race.  I don't want buy or sell the people.  Because when people are die maybe we can't make a family.  And people will be disappeared.  I love Lincoln because Lincoln stopped the racial discrimination.


Dear Lincoln
Hello? My name is Wendy.  I like you because you stopped the racial discrimination. Thank you."


I don't know about you, but that is an amazing book report coming from a 13-14 year old girl learning English as a second language.
