1. Agnes’ PowerPoint Portfolio * I’m obsessed with abstract designs, and each of my slides has one for the background. If these kinds of things make you dizzy, you better just watch someone else’s[x OR you could scroll through the slides really quickly!!! It makes me feel like my life is flashing before my eyes xP
2. PERSONAL HEALTH * My parents originally chose ChaeLim as my Korean name, which means “colors of a forest,” but my grandfather changed it to HyeWon because he consulted a “fortune-teller” type person and they said that ChaeLim wasn’t an auspicious name for my particular birth date * HyeWon, my current Korean name, means “wisdom.” [TOTALLY doesn’t suit me !!! O:] * I was born on March 8 th , 1995 in Seoul, South Korea
3. FAMILY HEALTH HISTORY * My family came to America when I was one and a half years old, because my dad was to attend Stanford up in Northern California. My parents were planning on returning to Korea, but I developed a brain tumor and we stayed here because of the better health care. I believe that I developed the brain tumor because there is a history of cancer among other maladies in my family. My maternal grandmother passed away from pancreatic cancer, and my paternal grandfather perished due to diabetes. FAMILY TREE ** Instead of questions, I’ve written a paragraph When I was growing up, health care was a luxury that not everyone had. It was so much more important for us to not get sick back then than it is for you now. A visit to the doctor when it wasn’t life or death was something that was rare. I’ve just been very fortunate to never have had a serious ailment where I would have had to fear for my life.
5. SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL HEALTH * Hobby: Jewelry-making * Sport: Tae Kwon Do * Favorite Past-time: Listening to Music Schools attended: * Parents’ Nursery School * Del Mar Heights * Canyon View Elementary * Mesa Verde Middle School * Westview High * I have had 5 chickens, 3 fish, 3 rabbits, and a turtle * I think it’d be cool to join a Korean culture club * I like traveling to Korea to visit relatives Current best friends: * Jenna Bloomquist * Angela Yang * Jessica Satnick
6. HEALTH TRIANGLE My health triangle is pretty much balanced, for the most part. It’s just not balanced in a very good average. I believe that this is because when something (like stress, in my case) affects one aspect of it, it hits the other aspects fairly equally. Having a weakness in one area of my life can affect other areas because all areas are connected and related. Therefore, when one thing is altered, a chain reaction occurs in your life. EMOTIONAL SOCIAL PHYSICAL 85 70 80 SOCIAL: * I am reconnecting with old friends * I maintain my relationships * I sometimes get unnecessarily defensive because of stress * I still love to talk PHYSICAL: * I keep a consistent weight * I work out nearly every day * I haven’t been able to sleep as much lately, so I get stressed * I have been getting tired more easily EMOTIONAL: * For the most part, I am emotionally stable * Lately I’ve noticed that I get upset more easily * It’s easier to start crying when I’m stressing * When I’m happy, it feels giddy

9. UNIQUE ME UMBRELLA~RIHANNA You have my heart And we'll never be worlds apart May be in magazines But you'll still be my star Baby cause in the dark You can't see shiny cars And that's when you need me there With you I'll always share Because [Chorus] When the sun shines We'll shine together Told you I'll be here forever Said I'll always be a friend Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end Now that it's raining more than ever Know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella You can stand under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh) Under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh) Under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh) Under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh) These fancy things Will never come in between You're part of my entity Here for Infinity When the war has took it's part When the world has dealt it's cards If the hand is hard Together we'll mend your heart Because [Chorus] You can run into my arms It's OK don't be alarmed Come here to me There's no distance in between our love So go on and let the rain pour I'll be all you need and more Because [Chorus] It's raining Ooh baby it's raining Baby come here to me Come here to me It's raining Oh baby it's raining I think that “Umbrella” suits me because I’m the type of person that would give up anything for a friend, and I’m always there for a friend when they need me.
10. FUTURE ASPIRATIONS Hey Jessica, I just wanted to tell you that you’ve been the best friend I could have ever asked for. I’ve known you foreeeever and you’re STILL tolerant enough to put up with me! Haha, but really, whenever I’ve needed someone in the past you were always there with a listening ear and your shoulder to cry on. And I know that will stay true for as long as we’re friends. Hopefully that’ll be for the rest of our lives! You mean so much to me, and you’ve changed my outlook on life. This kind of friendship can never die~ ayeeee I luff ya! [= * I’ve been offered a job as an instructor at my Tae Kwon Do when I turn 16, so that’ll probably be my job for a few years. As for permanent jobs, I’m not sure yet. I don’t know what I want to major in. I’m also indecisive on family plans. I think that it would be nice to have one or two kids * If I could achieve any one thing with guaranteed success, I would choose to earn up to the highest black belt rank there is
11. MEDIA AWARENESS * For me, the media doesn’t really influence what I wear or what I listen to, because I’m pretty hard-headed and independent. I don’t do things just because everyone else does them. I know what I like, and what I want, so I follow my own ideals. Not the media’s. * “Beauty comes in all sizes and sizes.” Don’t try to change yourself for a fake person derived from the skewed ideals of the media
