Last week was the
first week of the GEO program, I am very excited about this! Last week I was
able to sit in the first class and introduce myself to the students. I did that
through a powerpoint presentation full of pictures of myself. In order for the students to get to know me better, I explained the pictures in detail.
Then the professor had me sit on the “hot seat” which I found very exciting
because the students were able to ask me anything they wanted. Through this activity, they got to know me even better. In addition, they could pick on me and in effect, we could share
some laughs because of the strange and interesting questions raised. I really enjoyed being
able to meet new people. I look forward to getting to know everyone better
through the one-on-one meetings!
Meeting with the
students is going to be very exciting because I will be able to find out more
cultural differences between Korea and the United States. Since I have been here
I met so many people already and I really enjoyed talking to new people, learning the differences of the two cultures. I have also been to many places. I hope the
students can show me more of Korea! I noticed that people here are so
friendly and fun to be with. I really like the ambiance because in America, people are not as
friendly and they don’t care as much. I am loving my stay here! I want
to see as much as I can and do as much as I possible while I am still here! A week had
gone by so fast, so before you know it the month will be up and I will have to
go back home. I look forward to the rest of my stay and I cant WAIT to meet
everyone!!
