I am Special
I am not a special girl, but I am special and unique in this world, nobody can replace me. I believe that being who you are makes people respect you more, there's only one of me in this world. My name is Luna, one year exchange student come from China.
Specifically, I have a mixed family, a Korean mother and a Chinese father, that helps me I can learn well both Korean and Chinese culture and language. And in Chinese area, many people distinguish me as a Korean .Nevertheless, I am easy going, I don't jump to judgment fast and enjoy learning about different people from different aspects and walks of life. I accept people as they are, respect their minds and emotions. Moreover, I enjoy helping people and the appreciation keeps me going. I had an interesting experience as a volunteer teacher to teach Korean language in our university language center. My students like my sense of humor, lets me see the positive side of anything, however, I demand firm in high quality work output. Also, in my spare time, I like cooking and read novels; I could imagine whatever I like such as a well-known scientist or a kung-fu master.
I always do my best to keep a good attitude and enjoy gaining new knowledge by reading or day-to-day work experiences. Actually, I cannot speak English as well as native speakers, but I do my best to make myself stand out from others in a positive way. I always ask help from teachers that I do not understand, and do some review after classes to try hard to keep up my courses. In addition to acquiring new knowledge and new skills, I also enjoy sharing acquired knowledge with my new peers. I like to offer advice when it's needed by my new peers.
Despite that I have a shortcoming difficulty getting up, once I slept I hate someone or something disturb me and I do not know what happened when I slept even though there has an earthquake.

    Son of famed historian and Pullitzer Prize winner David McCullough, English instructor David McCullough, Jr. delivered one of the most controversial and memorable high-school commencement speeches on June 7, 2012. Addressing over 400 capped and gowned graduating students, family, and friends at Wellesley High School, McCullough’s humorous introduction set the attention-garnering foundation for his main argument: to inspire his audience—and this generation—to be exceptional and lead “[…] extraordinary lives” (McCullough, Jr.). Perhaps the most provocative piece of McCullough’s presentation is his simple and challenging proposition: “You’re not special.” A direct response to the exigence that everyone is uniquely gifted, the phrase was immediately demonized by social media and generated a maelstrom of conflicting responses. But rather than analyze this comment as a self-evident rhetorical entity, it is instead important to review McCullough’s message in context. McCullough effectively frames ethical, logical, and pathetic appeals with preexisting commonplaces and a calculated delivery to further his positive precept for the future generation.…

    Imagine falling asleep behind the wheel waiting for a green light or at work, as it has happened to many people. Sleeping disorders are more common than most individuals might think. An estimated 200,000 Americans are chronically ill with various sleep disorders and fewer than 50,000 are diagnosed (Walsleben and Baron-Faust). Narcolepsy is often mistaken for a depression or people often blame side effects of medication they are taking for their excessive sleepiness.
