Wrote my 100,000 won essay on the 4 nov as the dateline was the same day itself at 5pm korean time. It was hectic, time was short and the topic wasn't something that I am familiar with. I took the entire day from the time I woke up for breakfast till the dateline itself. I read tons and tons of online articles, news in order to grasp what the situation is currently and how I can go about writting it. Here's the topic: What will happen to East Asia 20 years from now? What positive event will happen? What negative event will happen? How to avoid the negative to ensure the positive from happening? Five students will be selected for their piece, and they need to present it infront of the students and professors.
From the very start, I don't even know which region or countries belong to the East Asia. You can say that I totally start from scratch when I wrote this piece. It was 5pages minimal. I really had a hard time given my limited vocabulary, grammar and knowledge. The only good thing is, it's double-spacing. I am proud that I wrote it and I felt accomplised. It was a challenge to me and I want to take up the challenge on top of the 100,000 won certifate that enticed me too. How i wish they were cash rather than certifate (vouchers kind). I still couldn't figure out where I can use them. I could only recognise burger king, kfc and pizza hut. I feel sad for shan because she wrote the essay and was selected too. Due to the reason that she couldnt be around to present (since she is in jeju), the professor did not qualify her to award her the 100,000 certifate too. I'm thinking if I should split my rewards with her.I have left her a msg on facebook and it'now pending for her reply. It always good to share your happiness. I believe. =)
