It's been a while since I've written in my blog, but so much has transpired in my life. I have graduated college and I am now in Changwon, South Korea. I am teaching English to children here who have been learning English since about the age of 3 or 4.
Being here has definitely been a culture shock, because upon entering into the country, I have been the center of attention, but not in the way I would like to be. Many people have looked at me crazy, staring like they have never seen anyone of a different race, which might exactly be the case. In the beginning, I was angry that people were being so rude, but then I had to open my mind to think that these people may not have been taught the way I was. I was taught to accept people from all walks of life. whether they be rich or poor, white, black, hispanic, asian, or whatever.
I would always find myself saying outloud, as I walked down the street, that these people ought to be glad it's me here and not some of the other people from America. I have been taught to respect others as well as myself. I refuse to give myself or others a bad name, just because I have been disrespected in a way that it would have been justified if I acted out accordingly.
