This is a short video of what the Earth would be like if it was shrunken down to 100 people. The reason why I chose this video is because it shows well how resource is unequally distributed to people in the world and what the current status of standard of living.

This video is about Arnold Schwarzenegger's inspirational speech about his six secrets to success.



I chose this film because it's so inspirational and tells us not to take life for granted.

In retrospect, I had one of my proudest moments lately. About two weeks ago, when I was waiting for a bus at a bus station to get to home from school, there was an old Korean lady who was also waiting for the same bus. She was totally new to Canada, and also she doesn't speak English. As she noticed that I'm a Korean student, she asked me if I could help her reaching her destination by the bus. Since both of us were going towards the same direction, I decided to help her. As soon as we took the bus, I explained her situation to the bus driver and asked him how the lady can reach her destination. The bus driver gave me several ways to get to the destination, and I explained translated the ways to the lady. Then I recommended her choose one of the ways that the bus driver told me because I thought that way would be the easiest way for her to reach the destination. I decided to be with the old lady until she gets out of the busAfter we got out from the bus, the old lady was so thankful that she held my hands for a short moment.
