Monologue

 

The city where I am living at is a jungle without tropical trees and bananas.
This is a jungle with 6.5 million objects that are craving for from survival to luxuries.

Let me tell you a story.

A story of my life, your lives, countless young folks’ lives.

Once upon a time, there was a young boy who was living with his parents in the cave.
One day, his father brought the boy out of the cave to get food.
Father said outside of the cave is very dangerous because numbers of cougars and jaguars are looking for games.
However, the boy thought the jungle outside of the cave is not dangerous but interesting.

The boy was ambitious. 

The time passed as the boy grew, and the day of coming-of-age ceremony has come.
The boy left the cave and built a little temporary shelter middle of the jungle.
The boy thought he can have everything if he can be had.
So, the boy started to learn how to throw the javelin and set the snare.
He stepped forward like what he did yesterday, the day before, the day before the day before……
Tomorrow he will step forward even more.

The boy is in a really complicated maze of his life.
He is vulnerable. He is not self-reliance. He is ignorant.
However, I believe the boy has the potential, the potential to rule the jungle.
One day, he will be in the place of alpha with full of responsibility and achievements.

Here’s my slideshow of the description of me.

The animal in the picture is called “SLOTH” and it represents the laziness.
Sloth is known for the laziest animal in the world due to his extremely slow movement.

It perfectly shows my characteristic.
I rarely move, I do minimum work to get things to be done.

Second picture shows  one of my sport that I am good at.
I started to play golf when I was 10.
My dad brought me to golf range every 6’0 clock in the morning and it was my first experience in golf.
I kept playing in various forms of activities.
In back in Korea, I joined golf club as club activity.
After I came to this country, my dad bought me entire club set and it was the real time of starting golf.
I played 3 Varsity years and served one term as captain.

I know I am not a good pianist but I am a passionate musician.
I can barely do read and play in proper tempo but I can do composing and arranging .
I managed an ensemble in my high school.
I used to play when I was really young and started to play again since 2009.
The hardest song I’ve played so far is Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu.

I can play baseball too.
Many of people think I don’t have enough “Thickness” to play.
It is true and I cannot throw fast.
I quit baseball team in my freshman year but I can still play in non-competitive level.
I’d say it’s just for learning how to move the body efficiently.

I used to live in NJ with my family and moved to Massachusetts for HS.
Now I’m here back to NJ.
First I thought commuting from NJ is easy and simple.
In fact, it is but it is not.
It takes hour and half to go to school in morning.
If there’s something wrong in Lincoln Tunnel, I am screwed. Life is over.

I am a big eater.
People often get surprised by my eating capacity.
I used to eat 2 orders for one meal. Then NY food price screwed my budget.
I love to add patties in burger and burger with 4 patties in five guys is my record.

I am an audiophile.
This German brand called Sennheiser turned me into a big audiophile.
I regret spending money on those luxurious headphones but it sounds good anyway.

Lastly, I am a passionate gamer.
Korea. known for #1 gaming nation, many people plays games and some make money out of it.
It’s their life and their culture.
I am also a part of this big movement.
