Korean orphange

http://www.heymyung.org/

I went to a orphange in Korea during the winter break. I contacted with the orphange before I went to there and I got a permission to do some services in there. when i went to the orphange many events were going on because it was a new year and children were celebrating it. So it was really messy with many decorations. So first task that I had to do was cleaning the orphange. I cleaned bedrooms that children were using and I cleaned toys and many stuffs. Also I carried some heavy things for decorations. Also I provided food for children and at the end, I donated money that will be used for children's new toys.
I worked for the children who were abandoned by their parents. So I had considered the ethical implications of my actions.

Learning how to make korean foods

                                        -The picture of kimchi

                                          -The picture of jap chae

I learned how to make 'jap chae' and 'Kimchi'. These two foods are very famous korean food. Especially 'kimchi' is considered one of the best food by scientists. Scientists found that it contains many nutrients that protect people from disease such as cancer. So it became very famous and I felt that I have duty to learn how to make kimchi as korean. So I had learned how to make 'kimchi' and 'Japchae'

For making kimchi I needed to prepare some ingridients-cabbage,ground pepper,garlic etc. And for jap chae- noodles,beef,carrot etc

For making kimchi first I spread salt on the cabbage and then kept it for few hours and then I spread special sauce on the cabbage. For making 'japchae' I mixed many ingridients such as roasted beef, carrots and noodles. My mom helped me to do this.

There were many learning outcomes. First I increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth. And I had undertaken new challenges. And I developed new skills



Guitar

I started to play guitar since about a year. I had no teacher who can actually teach me the guitar, So I started to play alone. I bought many books about the basic of guitars. There were many things to learn. First of all, by reading a book I learned that 6lines have their own sound "mi,ra,rae,sol,si,mi' and for play guitar I had to memorize many Chords. Chord is the harmony of many sounds.
  In this video I played "Banmal song " which is very famous korean song . This song is  made with many chords - G D Em Am C Am7 Bm7 etc. For playing this song I had to memorize all of these chords. And for playing this song, the another thing that I had to learn was 'stroke' There are really many kinds of strokes. but in this song I needed to learn only 1 stroke - down up mutedown up up mutedown up. The most difficult thing was mute down in this song. For giving more beats there is a mute stroke and this was quite difficult for me to play.
 By learning guitar, I learned not only how to play guitar but actual the basic of music such as melody,chords.And I also learned how to read the tab music. There fore I can say that there were many learning outcomes. My target is to play the guitar with the 'finger style' which is much difficult than 'stroke'
First of all , I had increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth, also
I had undertaken new challenges. and I had played it for one year and I will continue this work so I had shown perseverance and commmitiment in my activity. Also I can say that I developed new skills

Jogging

There is a little park infront of my house. It is the best place for me to exercise. I started jogging from the summer in 2011 and I had continued it until today and I will continue this exercising.In Moscow , it snows really alot and very often. However, as you can see in the picture, cleaners in my apartment clean the way everyday, and there is no problem to exercising. The whole lap of this little park is about 200M and everyday I run 10 laps which means I run 2km everyday.

As a result, I had shown perseverance and commitment in my activity because I do this exercising everyday and I had continued it until today and as a result I lost 12 kg which is very difficult achivement. And by jogging I learned how to breathe during the running therefore, I can say that I developed new skills
