In 2007, an oil spill in the Yellow Sea near Korea's coastal beaches resulted in 80,000 barrels of spilled oil. The person volunteered to help with the cleanup efforts, which were harder than expected due to the plastic protective clothing, cold weather, and repetitive work. However, seeing everyone work together to restore the coast inspired the person and made them proud to contribute.

1. SHOW
ME who you
Truly are

2. In 2007, Korea faced an environmental disaster,
Eighty thousand barrels of oil spilled
near the coastal beaches of the Yellow Sea

4. We received national coverage on the news.
People flocked to the coast to clean and I went
there.
I was young and the work was much harder than I
thought. Moving while wearing those plastic
clothes was uneasy, the weather was cold and
doing the same work all day was tough. Also the
smell made me have a headache. I really wanted
to quit the work. But when I looked around people
persevered in the face of this seemingly
overwhelming disaster. All of us working together
to overcome. Eventually, the coast was soon
restored. What I learnt is the value of working
together and I was very proud that I contribute to
the community.

6. Korea and Two countries represent me, where
I have spent time of my life and
Canada grow up. I came to Canada by
myself in order to get a higher
education and improve my
English. It was the biggest and
the most important decision I
have made in my life. I have been
able to survive in this country
where I don’t have any family and
in which another language is
spoken. I learned many different
things such as Canadian culture,
English and responsibility.

7. School Festival

8. School Festival
Every year school hold school festival.
I volunteer to festival committee. I thought school
festival was not fun. Thus, I tried to change that
fact. During the change I had to argue because it
was a new way. As a committee chief, I planned
the schedule, drew up a budget and developed
marketing and an advertising plan. Festival sales
were boosted by changing cafeteria’s menu and
programs. It was the first time that school made
profits through festival.

9. Outgoing

10. Outgoing
I am proud of my outgoing personality
because , in Asian culture a silent person
is more usual than an outgoing one. Also, I
am sure it will help my future career as
business person. I can develop my
business skills. In addition I was afraid of
talking to new people especially those who
speak another language; however, I beat
those feelings and be a truly outgoing
person.

11. Cambodia

12. Traveling to Cambodia
When I went to Cambodia a few years ago, I
got shocked by the poverty its citizens are
in. Kids were asking me for one dollar
which values for us is pretty much nothing
but for them is about survive. It was my
first time being a global citizen. This
experience provides a wider perspective
on the problem.
