Ben Franklin once said, 'All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.'
Which are you?
(Please answer in 300-500 words.)
When people ask me what I did over the weekend, I would always state, "nothing." This is my response every time but if I could, I would do everything. Like my dad, I always feel restless and I need to do something or be somewhere. I always plan a trip whenever my parents do not go to work. Even going down to Philadelphia can make me happy. I am a person who likes to move.
Although I like to go to places, I live in the suburbs where there is nothing to do. The nearest place to me is a small park where there is only a basketball court. I do not have a car so I cannot go anywhere. I live near a train station but I do not have money.
I always imagine myself in different places. I can imagine myself in downtown where there are all these stores, museums and restaurants. I want to get to know the city like I am a native to the urban area. I want to go shopping and find unique clothes which I have never seen. I want to go to Phileo Yogurt and eat their delicious yogurts.
I imagine myself in my native country of South Korea and eating real authentic food made and grown in Korea. I want to visit the palaces that are thousands of years old. I want to go shopping made by real Korean brands.
I can see myself in Venezuela to look at the biggest waterfall in the world, Angels Falls. I want to go to Russia to hear the wonderful singing of the boy's choir. I want to go to New York City and gaze at all the bright, colorful lights of Times Square. I want to visit Hokkaido, Japan during the Winter Festival to witness the giant snow sculptures. I want to go to Harujuku in Tokyo and take a glance at the different clothes found nowhere else in the world and the people dressed in the most unique clothes. It has always been my dream to visit places I have only ever read about and not only do I want to go to different places, I also want to learn new things.
I always thought it would be cool to learn kendo, the art of Japanese sword fighting. Through the form of art, I saw the code of honor instilled into samurais hundreds of years ago. Although I am not much of a dancer, I contemplated that break dancing would be fun to learn. I just would have to put a lot of effort into it.
People can say my life is pretty static because I do not do much, but if given the chance to, I would do things and go places people would have never thought of. As I dream of doing these things, someday, I know I am someday going to do them.
