The Will of Fate (9/19/24)
“I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me” (BrainyQuote). Unfortunately for Beethoven, fate is something that is set in stone. No matter what one does, fate cannot be changed. An excellent example of this would be the Greek tragedy Oedipus the King by Sophocles. In this story, Oedipus findsContinue reading “The Will of Fate (9/19/24)”
WJMC Day 6: Departure
The last day was sad for me because I had to leave my color group and all the great friends I made. I didn’t cry like most did, but I still wish it lasted a bit longer. We had one last speaker, Kalea Perez, we got to read a story called “Maybe”, and watched aContinue reading “WJMC Day 6: Departure”
WJMC Day 5: Capital Hill Visit
This morning we got to head to the National Mall, but had some unexpected delays. When we finally got there we took a group picture and I even got my headshot taken! Me and my friends took a tour of the Capitol and got lunch in the Capitol restaurant. We proceeded to walk to theContinue reading “WJMC Day 5: Capital Hill Visit”

The museum was extremely large and had so many exciting experiences that I didn’t have the time nor energy for all of them! Once I exited the exhibition, IContinue reading “WJMC Day 3: Field Visits”
WJMC Day 2: Monument Tour
Today, I had to wake up very early to shower even though I got back to my dorm at 10:30 the night before and basically went to sleep at 11:00. To some that may not seem that bad, but for someone who has a strict sleep schedule of 10 PM to 6 AM, it wasContinue reading “WJMC Day 2: Monument Tour”
WJMC Day 1: Arrival
I have finally arrived at WJMC! I’m so excited! I was initially so nervous about being so far from home by myself and not knowing anyone here, but I am now confident that I will make many new friends. I even got to know someone who lived near my town! I started typing this inContinue reading “WJMC Day 1: Arrival”
Park Seonghwa (ATEEZ)
This is an art project I did for my intro to visual arts class. We were only supposed to draw half the face, but once I was done with the assignment I decided to draw the rest of the reference I used. I think I did a good job, but I still wish to workContinue reading “Park Seonghwa (ATEEZ)”
