As the winter season rolled around the corner back in late November, I was exhilarated to get back to my favorite winter sport: skiing. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on the ski slopes the day the resorts opened and stayed there until the day they closed. But this year, many of my winter a
As a consequence of Korean society becoming negligent and inattentive to the social distancing regulations during the year-end holiday season, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases spiked to above 1,000 a day for the first time on December 13. Because of this unprecedented surge, the government
I am not a big fan of roller coasters nor any other amusement park rides due to my fear of heights. However, last Tuesday, I decided to go to the Lotte World, a major amusement park in Seoul, with my friends for one reason: high school uniform experience. Although hanbok, South Korea’s traditional c
2016년 2월, 1기를 시작으로 창간된 헤럴드 인사이트 & 투모로우가, 5년이 지난 2021년 1월말로 10기 활동을 마무리합니다. 그 사이에 코로나 바이러스 사태가 터지고, 많은 미국 대학들은 SAT 시험 점수들을 선택 조항으로 바꾸고, 통상 SAT 2 라고 부르던 SAT 과목별 시험도 2021년 6월 시험을 마지막으로 폐지될 예정입니다.이런 상황에서, 해외 명문대학, 특히 미국 명문 대학 진학을 위한 비교과 특별활동들에 대해서, SAT 시험 점수 제출 여부에 대해서, 학생기자 활동의 의미에 대해서 많은 질문들이 나오고 있습니다
“El Mayor Premio es Compartirlo.” This is the slogan of the annual Spanish Christmas lottery, which means, “The greatest gift is to share it”. As a Korean family living in Spain, we decided to participate in this lottery ourselves this year!The Christmas lottery, called “El Gordo” (The Fat), is a cr
Where do you go shopping for your clothes? What do you look for when shopping? Are you looking for something high-quality that is made from sustainable materials or a cheap piece? Based on the fact that most clothing widely consumed today is fast fashion, it’s safe to assume that most answer the las
I grew up watching Disney princesses since I was a young toddler. The flamboyant dresses, their adorable animal companions, and sparkly crowns were the epitome of awesomeness as a young girl. As a toddler, I chose which princesses we wanted to be with my friends, buying coloring books filled with th
With my past six years of playing flute, I would say that I am at an advanced level in this area. I first started playing flute in the start of the fourth grade, when my new school in America required me to play one instrument. It was my first time ever playing an instrument, which made me exhilarat
The COVID-19 pandemic, for a long time now, has been considered as a global pandemic. It has even spread to Rwanda, my current country of residence. However, the cases in Rwanda are not as severe as some other nations around the globe, with less than 100 daily cases. Whilst this long-lasting pandemi
As the winter sports season has begun, many constraints have been made to follow the safety of the COVID-19 protocols. The winter sports at Seoul Foreign School consist of swimming, cheer, basketball, and wrestling and all sports have officially begun their season. Being a Varsity cheer member, I wa
Ashes blanketed the sky with darkness. The smell was disgusting, and many people had to flee to the seashore in horror. While escaping to the south near the sea, I was wondering why California has so many wildfires. Wildfires have mainly two causes: artificial and natural events. The former consists
I am always proactive about playing and watching basketball. I have played basketball since I was in the fourth grade in elementary school. Not only have I played in Korea, but I have also played on a varsity basketball team in the United States. This article compares my experiences playing basketba
글은 생각과 마음을 담아내는 거울이다. 2000년도에 유학 나올 당시 썼던 ‘자기소개서’를 아직도 가지고 있다. 읽을 때마다 얼굴이 붉어지곤 한다. 서투른 문장, 무엇보다 나를 소개함에 있어 2남 2녀의 막내 라는 관계를 먼저 말했다. 미국 대학은 관계 속에 있는 '나'보다는 세상을 바라보는 나의 시선을 보고 싶어한다. 따라서, 에세이는 점수나 학점이 아닌 올곧이 ‘나’ 만을 보여주는 독무대인 셈이다. 주인공이 나이고, 관계나 사건은 나의 견해 속에서 재해석된다. 매해 주제가 정해지기는 하나, 대부분 같은 맥락이다.
Due to the lax safety precautions and end-of-year holiday celebrations, the number of coronavirus cases has multiplied to levels where the government has deemed it necessary to raise the social distancing measures to Level 2.5 (max. of Level 3). Because of this change, it seems as if traditional med
2019 and 2020 can be best summarized by COVID-19 Pandemic. When the novel virus first hit, mass panic ensued. Mundane items such as hand sanitizer, masks, and toilet paper became valuable treasures. It seemed that COVID-19 changed everything for everyone, and seemed like life would never be the same
With the unprecedented pandemonium brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have entered a new era referred to as the “New Normal.” At this transformational point in time, the world is experiencing challenges and instability due to the rapid transition from the former status quo. Because of these change
Recently, while working on a theatre/film project called Parallax with my fellow members of the founding division of Proactive Players, I encountered various challenges. Before diving deeper into our project work, I should explain what Proactive Players is. Proactive Players is an international thea
As the notorious COVID-19 has emerged in many nations, the World Health Organization has been thrust into the spotlight more than ever. This year of 2020, the WHO bears the burden of not only discussing the general agendas such as supporting open healthcare, but also driving the change against the w
I have been fascinated by art since I was young. I was exposed to various types of art, as my mother majored in interior design and multimedia and my uncle majored in architecture in university. Art is a creative outlet that allows me to express my feelings and emotions in a safe space. Not only doe
한국 축구의 한 획을 그었던 히딩크 감독이 처음 부임했을 때, 선수들은 큰 희망을 가지고, 어떤 신기술들을 훈련하게 될까 내심 기대도 컸을 것이다. 그런데, 감독은 선수들에게 기초 체력 훈련을 혹독하게 시켰다고 한다. 쓰지 않던 잔 근육까지 다지는 것을 화려한 신기술 훈련보다 더 중요하게 여겼기 때문이리라.내가 가르친 학생 중에서 가장 기억에 남는 제자가 있다. 독해를 기가 막히게 잘했다. 어떤 지문을 읽어도 틀리는 문제가 거의 없었다. 실전 시험에서도 같은 점수를 받아 원하는 대학으로 진학했다. 고득점 독해 비결을 물어봤다.지문을
