Introducing myself
Morris
Academic Writing
Final draft Introduce myself My name is Morris and I am from South Korea. I would like to introduce myself as well as my family about experiences that our family had gone through to you guys. As time goes back to 1990s, South Korea was not a wealthy country at all. Since I spent most of my childhood with my mother, I would like to introduce her first. I would say she was an all mighty women. She had multiple jobs for me; sometimes she was a philosopher, teacher, or a doctor trying to teach me math and reading. I was kind of a weak boy when I was young often had a headache or stomachache, and when she rubbed the certain part of my body it cured just like a magic. There was a one great teaching that really reminds and motivates my life purpose. "Live for the poor" She just kept telling me but could not understand until I reach the real meaning of that. So soon, me and my mother went to a market. There is a special form of a market in Korea that merchants do not have particular building to sell their stuff. There are lots of types of merchants who stock the small factory in their car and sell it on street or bring foods, vegetables, and clothes that they made from their factory. I still remember the special moment that I had in the market. My mother and I usually went there to buy foods or just for fun and at some point she gave me 5 dollars to treat myself. So I was thinking really serious about what should I buy for it. It was not a small amount of money. But I saw a poor guy who did not have legs. He used his hands when he had to move with gloves on it. I became more serious. In my head, there were an angel and a devil who say that I should donate 5 dollars, or since I had a tired day, I need to treat myself. Suddenly, I felt a mysterious feeling and tried to look at different angles that how would he feel like? How is he going to feed himself? Would money help him? I put my 5 dollars in the box. He bowed to me for appreciating

My mom didn’t have primary care during her pregnancies and she didn’t take any prenatal vitamins. I was born at home with the assistance of “la partera”. When I was born I was rejected and I had the psychologic absence of my father. My first years of life I had a normal development. I was a happy child, even though living within poverty and suffering struggles by the consequences of my father’s alcoholic addiction. During my childhood my mother was my role model she had not any addiction and she had a strong spirituality. Since I was very little she taught me to love God, Mom gave me spirituality that helped me to overcome many of my worries, fears and difficulties at that time. I felt God as a real father. God at that time replaced that absence of my…

She is an American-Korean who has lost her cultural identity the moment another Korean woman told her she pronounced her last name wrong. That 's when she realized she is not the American-Korean she thought she was. “Hwang had discomfort and confusion she felt when another Korean corrected her pronunciation of her last name. The difficulty of satisfying her parents expectations and her own.” (Hwang 1).Her parents migrated to the United States thirty years ago and two years before she was born. All her life until the point she went into the dry-cleaning store she never felt any confusion about her culture and not knowing how to pronounce her last name. She never knew of any other Koreans, so being Korean was just as important to her than being American. After that incident in the dry-cleaners Hwang felt more distraught than ever about her cultural identity. This lead her to want to learn about her background. As Hwang got older she was expected to keep following her parents expectations and their dreams. Her parents wanted her to attend law school and pursue a career in that.

    My Family In Vietnam

    We talked about many things around us from our daily life to our memory. At that time, we are being straightened to each other. Suddenly, our parents mentioned about our sister Chi and they committed that they have the most responsible for their daughter death. Their daughter had had a difficult time in assimilating with the American culture and in school because she fully rejected any femininity she held in Vietnam and embraced her true masculine identity to its entirely. As a result of that she received both a beat from our father and a teacher intervention. Perhaps, we should sympathize with her, or at least we should listen to her feelings and thoughts, but we didn’t. As they mentioned to her, all the member’s in the family eyes started turning to red. At that time, we didn’t know what else to say, Hung patted they on the shoulder and said, “That’s fine, Thong and Anh. Everything was the past, just let it passes over.” Besides that, I thought about the Little Niece beggar who I saw and gave all of my money to her in the Turtle Fountain. Numerous of questions pumped up in my mind “how is she?”, “is she still a beggar?”, and “is she still alive or not?” She is the one who made we awake and made me aware of my truly feelings and thoughts as well as how I act when facing a pain. Thus, I went to the Turtle Fountain the day after and hoped that I will meet her again and say “thank you” to…

    One Saturday night I awoke to a noise coming from my mothers bedroom, so I got up out my bed to see what was up. I saw my mother so I asked her what’s going on and she responded, “Baby girl I want you to do mommy a favor, I want you to go to your room and shut your door until I come and get you. I love you princess don’t never forget that.” Of course I did what my mother told me to do because I loved and I trusted her. I went to my room not knowing what was going on and I sat there until she came to get me. I waited hours and hours and she never came, I just knew she was coming. Several hours later, I hear a knock at the door. I yell her name to tell her to answer the door but she didn’t respond. Not knowing what to expect, I went to her room and didn’t see her.

    Identify Yourself

    Physically, I am an Asian boy with somewhat a smooth hairstyle. I’m relatively chubby with about 168-centimeter height and 80-kilogram weight. Working out every single day and trying to build a ripped body aren’t my things. However, I do love sports, a whole lot. Basketball, table tennis and swimming are hobbies that I enjoy doing real much whenever I have some free time or I simply need a stress reliever. The way I look and the way I speak may make people think that I’m an Asian American, but I’m not. I am originally from Vietnam and I left Vietnam to study abroad when I was 16, studied at a boarding school for the past 3 years. And somehow on the way I lost a tiny bit of that “truly Vietnamese” look and accent. Anyway, I’m a big believer in the quote “Never judges a book by its cover”, so I hardly emphasize on how I appear to be. It does not matter if I dress up as a hipster (which I usually do) or if I decide to have a simple day with casual and comfy clothes on, it’s who I truly am not how my physical appearance that highlights my identity.…
