The ‘8’ Me
John 'G' kim on Sep 13th 2012
When looking back and examining my life, hobbies and interests I was able to come up with 8 things that have changed, motivated, inspired and made me who I am today.
The first picture represents my joy and passion for the guitar and music in general. At the young age I’ve always wanted to play the guitar after listening to my dad play. I was so inspired that I asked my parents to buy me a guitar for my birthday. However, it was until recent years that I actually started to touch the guitar and loved to play it ever since.
The second picture represents my nationality and where my parents have come from. This is where some of my core thoughts, morals and principles came from.
The third picture is a representation of my religion and I guess who I am today. The picture depicts Christianity and this is the moment in my life where I have changed the most.
The fourth picture is a picture of a microphone and that is primarily because, recently I aspired to become a singer. I don’t know why but, I guess leading the church service and getting up there really inspired me and taught me the joy in singing. Although I don’t want to be a professional singer I hope to open up a YouTube account soon and start producing some music.
The fifth picture is actually my favorite because, I LOVE eating. It is my joy and hobby to eat! At a young age I was exposed to eating anything I want because of my parents constantly feeding me bowls and bowls of food with desert and ice-cream. Man those were the days when I was overweight from the high-caloric food I ate everyday but, those were the good old’ days.
The sixth picture is actually my hidden addiction. I was a red bull addict. I don’t know why exactly but, when I was a huge gamer back in the days I would chug a red bull every game. It was unhealthy and I had to quit but, whenever I see a red bull can I just die.
The seventh picture is a computer game called “star craft”. I was a huge fan of this game when I was in high school and was actually pretty decent in it. I was in a lot of different clans and would go to tournaments with friends and compete with a lot of different people. The game is harder than it looks because of its completive nature and RTS required mentality. Sadly, I quit the game during my senior year because of my academic life and future in college.
The eighth and final picture is what I secretly believe I am; a detective! I was also impressed by detective movies and would try to solve the crime before the movie did and I’ve always enjoyed puzzles and riddles. I think it was because I was very curious when I was young and I really enjoy trying to read others mind and figure out what they are up to.
This concludes my 8 image slideshow of WHO I AM. It is just a small glimpse of some of my addictions, hobbies and lifestyle that has shaped me to who I am today!
