United States gave me few cultural shocks. First, it is school. In Korea we go to school at 7:30 till midnight. It means students in Korea spend more than 12 hours in school. The school provides suppers too. It was so awesome and cool that school is done between 3 and 4 p.m. I was so excited. I felt days are going so fast. These days I got used to but first time it was hard to be that way. Second, American people do not take off their shoes when they are in the house. In Korea we have to take off our shoes because if we do not take shoes off, the floor’s going to get dirty. I got used to that one to but first time it was a shock to me. Last, I cannot understand how can eat the fast food for everyday? It was just disgusting. I mean I like fast foods but for every day, I don’t think so. These are the cultural shock that I had when I came to United States for first time. Now I am all fine with cultural difference stuffs but it was just awkward.


I really like to play soccer. I played soccer for long time. However, I never played for school, so this time I joined soccer for TMP. The practices are hard but I really like to play. Since soccer is one of the dangerous sports we gets hurt a lot of time. You can break leg and ankle. We had few games already. I had so much fun because I never had real soccer game. We never won yet but before season is over we will win less than a game. From soccer I learned few important rules and teamwork. If I come next year, I will definitely going to play soccer.
