This picture reminds me of sadness when I arrived at the camp and started crying because I wanted to go home and see my family; crying while talking to my parents on the phone begging my parents to let me go home while my friends are trying to comfort me; my friends also crying; my friend Yuna going home after the second week; sitting in the room by myself trying to persuade my parents to let me go home; cheerful sounds of my friends and I laughing, playing, singing, dancing and watching videos; lying down in the nurse's office begging the LORD to make me feel cheerful and happy again like I used to be before I came to this camp; tired after a whole day of studying; complaining that our work is too hard and that debating, math and golf is really boring; my parents telling me that I already spent three weeks at camp and that I will survive one more week at camp; crying that I want to go visit my best friend in Hong Kong because when school starts, I won't be able to see her; staying in the room by myself while everyone else is at the second study period trying to finish their history presentation or their debate; waiting for Sunday and the end of camp to come; seeing my parents on Sunday at 8:00 in the morning really happy to see my parents; crying at 6:00 at night sad to see my parents go home and leave me at camp and make me wait until the next Sunday until I can see them; and talking to my dad telling me how many days of camp is left and that he will buy the food that I want to eat after camp ends. This reminds me all of these things. I can't wait until camp ends! Only 1 week left of camp!







This picture reminds me of how wonderful the LORD is. How he spent 6 days to make the earth beautiful and how he rested on the 7th day and how we damage the wonderful world he created just for us. I feel ashamed of ourselves because we litter, we lie, we don't listen to our parents, we sometimes don't go to church, we don't help other people and we swear at other people. The perfectly good God made a wonderful world and we suddenly damage God's creation. I can imagine how upset God is although I know he won't lose hope. The wonderful clean sky that you can only see when you are in the mountain because when you go down to Seoul, you cannot see a clean bright blue sky, you can see a grayish sky never light blue like here at the GLPS camp, dirty air that is filled with gas from the cars. I hope we can make a difference in our world by making God happy by being nice to mother nature.


This picture is of my friends and I. There are four of us in the room now because our friend Yuna left the camp after the 2nd week. We hated to see her leave but we're still having a great time with each other even when she's not here. When camp ends, I will be happy to go home but I will miss my friends and I hope to see them soon. I plan to spend the last 4 days at camp happily with all my friends. My friend Minyoung is in class 3 and I will miss her because she was my first friend at this camp. My friend Sunny is in class 6 and I will miss her because she was always cheerful and never cried because she wanted to go home. My friend Sabeen is in class 9 and I will miss her because when I was crying, she comforted me and helped me when I needed her help. My friend Yuna is in class 10 but even if she was only at camp for two weeks, I will miss her because she was very similar to me. We had very similar personalities. I will miss this camp even though I had a rough and terrible time for the first 3 weeks. I loved meeting new people who live in different places in the world like Sabeen used to live in Australia so the games that we played were almost the same like Lemonade, Concentration an Apple on the stick. Minyoung lives in Korea but we both know the games boom snap clap and the zombie game. We also like talking about how annoying siblings can be and how cute dogs are and how much and why we hate the camp. I hope I can meet my camp friends after camp ends but even if I hated camp, it was still a very fun experience for us all because it was a sibling free environment
and because our parents can't tell us to eat our vegetables and we can  make our own choices. Although I hate studying for 9 hours everyday, I'll have to enjoy studying with my friends because when I go back home, I'll have to study by myself. I hope the last 4 days of camp will be very memorable.


This is the building that I sleep in, eat in, and play in. My friends and  I would always play games like Zombie. In the beginning of camp, I hated this building because my parents dropped me off at this building and I had to spend 4 weeks here at camp but now I love this building because my parents are going to pick me up from camp at this building and because there are only 4 days of camp left. I can't believe I spent more than 3 weeks at camp already. I can't wait until I see my parents and my dog because I miss my dog and my parents so much. I also love this building because I rest and sleep in this building during lunch break. We usually eat in 15 minutes and then we go to our room to rest and play until 2:15. At 2:15, we go down to our next class such as writing, history, debate, Golf, PE, Math. I can't wait until it is Friday and Saturday because we get to rest an play on Friday and Saturday until it is time to go home.


This is a picture of the mountain. It makes me wonder 'What did the earth look like before we cut down many trees and made cities. I feel really bad for all the trees and animals who live in trees because we cut down the animals habitat. I hope that we stop cutting down trees.


This picture reminds me of me being in the picture right now writing this photo essay. I am so tired and can't wait until camp is over. There are 4 days left of camp and I miss my parents more than I did before. I am so happy that only 4 days of camp left. I can't spend another day in this torture. I hate it so much. I also can't wait until camp is over because it means that I am getting closer to visit my best friend in Hong Kong. I can't wait!


This picture reminds me of my first day at camp. I was really sad that I was at camp so I cried every single day in the morning for 3 weeks. I am still really sad but I will go home the day after tomorrow so I will not cry. I was crying and all my new room mates were being really nice to me but that was still not enough. I didn't fit in, I wanted to go home, I felt sick and I    was so stressed out. I missed my parents a lot and although I wanted to go home, I still tried my best and wished for camp to end. I know that I'm going to spend my last few days at camp really well.

Wizards of Oz Movie Review


       The movie that I watched is "Wizards of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.The genre of this movie is Fantasy because talking scarecrows aren't real, lion's can't talk and also tin cans can't talk. The main characters in the movie are Toto, Dorothy, Oz, Tin man, the Lion and the Scarecrow. Dorothy was in the house trying to find her aunt when suddenly the house flew up into the tornado. Dorothy arrived in Munchkin Land and her house killed an evil witch. Dorothy was praised for killing the witch and received the silver slippers as a reward. The Witch of the West came and asked for the slippers because it was magical slippers. Dorothy refused and received a threat that says that if she doesn't give the witch the slippers, she will be punished severely by the witch. Dorothy wanted to go back to Kansas and went to see the wizard of Oz so that she can go back to Kansas. On the way of trying to find the wizard of Oz, Dorothy and Toto bumped into the Scarecrow, who needs a brain, they bumped into the Lion who needed courage and the Tin Man who needed a heart. In the end, they all realized that they all had what they needed and if they just believed in themselves, anything is possible. I liked this movie because my dad watched the movie before and told me a lot about it so I can compare what my dad watched to what I saw in the movie. I also liked it because there were a lot of morals in this movie like "be brave", "believe in yourself and anything is possible", "always have courage and love your neighbors". I didn't like the movie because the lion looked so unrealistic and the flowers in Munchkin looked to unrealistic.

I used to live in Hong Kong but now I live in Korea because of my dad's job here in Korea. I don't like living in Korea because I miss all my friends. I miss going to Pacific Place with my mom and dad. I love Hong Kong because all my friends are there. My favorite book series is Nancy Drew. My friends at the GLPS camp are Lucy, Sunny, Yuna and Belle. I dislike the camp because I miss my parents, my brother and my dog. I want to see my dog, my brother and my parents right now. Now I live in Seoul, Korea so now I go to Seoul International School. I used to go to Hong Kong International School. One week of camp left. I am so happy that it is almost time to go home. I used to hate the camp a lot but now I know that we must give it a chance. While I was at camp, I realized that in the beginning, you might not like the camp but if you give it a chance, in the end, you might like it. Thank you for reading my blog.
