WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Hello 🙂 My name is Mina Park. Please call me “mee-na” not “min-ah”. Even though “min-ah” is the correctly pronounced korean name I have, I prefer “mee-na” better.
I am 19-years-old, born in August 16,1991. I am a proud immigrant who arrived “fresh off the boat” in 2000. It’s almost 11 years in America. Wow. To tell you the truth, I was fooled by my parents. I “was” suppose to visit my grandmother for winter vacation but ended up living here… But, I like it. I feel so thankful that I live in a society where education is not FORCED on me. Hehe 🙂
I live in Flushing with my mom and an older sister. My dad died when I was in 3rd grade due to a disease called Hepatitis B. It was a tragedy back then, but now I feel comfortable talking about it. It’s nice to live with only females in the house. It feels free, really. There’s no hiding things 🙂 (ladies might understand kk). My mom is a facialist and my sister is currently attending Hunter College, majoring in public health. We are very close and I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world.
Also, I am a Christian. My values and beliefs mostly comes from the christianity background. What I do is to praise God and I am not ashamed of it. Actually, my goal for the future is to major in Marketing, minor in Psychology(for children). Then, go to Graduate school, major in Education and finally owning a Christian after school academy. I love children<3.
However, all that is in the future and what I’m concerned about right now is time management. I love watching Tv and playing video games…. Once I start either one of them, time just flies by… So my hope for this semester is to reduce the time I spend on television and games and focus in reading the textbooks! The professors cover so much in one day that I hardly have the time to read all~ the textbook. TIME MANAGEMENT is what I need now!

Mina,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad, but I am glad that you have coped so well. I do understand what you are talking about. My mother and I love to be the only two in the house ( I have a dad and brother).
I am glad that you were so open with your life. I love when other people share their lives with me because I love to hear about peoples’ histories. I think your goal for the future is admirable and I hope that you succeed! Maybe I can be a teacher in your school one day!
If you need advice on time management please feel free to come to me because I too struggled with it, but I am doing better. My phone is always one and I check my email frequently. I am also available during the week if you would like to meet up.
Maria
P.S My birthday is Aug 15! We are both Leos!
