PART ONE :

Background of Hosa :

I am a Form Seven student of HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity (HKSC).I only studied in HKSC for three years and one month .Hong Kong 's education system do not have any midden school  and we just seven years in secondary school .In old system , we have two pulic exams and one is on Form 5 (year five)  However, I am not finish the studying in HKSC yet and this year is the last year of my high school life in HKSC. I know how making video, illustration, ,designing of graphic , editing , writing poem and screenplay of script writing.

For the past 3 years, I have shown myself to be a very committed student and all her teachers have found her a very satisfactory learner. I have also carried out a lot of extra-curricular activities outside HKSC. For example, I was the chairlady of a net magazine on Chinese Literature run by CUHK(Chinese Univerisity of Hong Kong) last year. I have also been a regular (monthly) writer for TaiKunPao which is local newspaper on liberal studies for 4 years. I won a few awards in our school-based CPOP program and curated the F 5 graduation exhibition. I went to the west Guangdong for 2 summer vacation to do volunteer work for the children in villages. All in all, I hve been considered by both teachers and classmates as a very keen and hardworking learner, other than being artistic. However, to be honest that I am not good at any kind of music.

Backgound of HKSC:

HKSC is a senior secondary school devoted to arts, media and design education. With a comprehensive curriculum of arts-related subjects and humanities subjects, the school envisages to nurture a new generation of professionals and researchers for the development of the creative industries and the local art scene in Hong Kong.To foster students’ curiosity, imagination, creativity, compassion for the society, self-discipline and vision. While studying at HKSC, students are required to discipline themselves, learn seriously, care about the people and the events happened around them, possess an inquisitive mind, and be enthusiastic to apply what they have learnt to create, appreciate and criticize.

PART TWO :

Compartion with HKSC and HPS

I came to Haja Centre for exchange ten days two year ago but all of the stduents and teacher lived in a hotel near Seodaemun Subway Sation.I can not able to homestay in any Korean family. Now, I am planning to have at least half year exchange studying trip and now I am study in one of the  althernative school is called Haja Prodution School (HPS)of Haja Centre about two months. In my view, be a ten days exchange student in another country compare with be real member of HPS are totally differently . Although I can not able to read most of Korean and only speak few Korean , I still can start to understand more deeply about Haja Centre and HPS.

As HKSC and HPS are both althernative school in two international cities (Hong Kong and Seoul), the mission + vision are look like the same . However , deep inside of two school are not the same . HKSC has over 400 students but HPS only 14 student .The students of two school are open-mind,inderpdent , kind , active kidults(mean : kid+adult , also Play Hard and Study Hard and their ages maybe under 18 years old or not).We are both do love art , music and culture by heart. As I a student of HKSC over three years then I understand the dark side of HKSC , speasely some of HKSC 's students are lack of self-discipline and some of us are too inderpedent that we do not have good teamwork . For HPS, I do appearce their good self-discipline and perfect teamwork . Although I have quite good self-discipline and good teamwork even some time be a leader in HKSC , I am not perfet at all then do need to impove more in Seoul as soon as possible.

I am not very smart but I am not totally silly . Please do remember that  I am come from Hong Kong not Moon and I am member in HKSC.I understand my situation and be more smart and sensitive as I can recently.I do learn a lot attitude in HPS recently like how to take care each other , share love , create peace everywhere , beileve in yourself ,love the earth more,treature everything ,be honest to youself and love yourself more ,etc.I do believe those good things which are I learn in HPS if I can keep on doing then they can change my live or at learst improve my inside of myself .

As two are base on Art(or music and care in HPS) in Education as mission for teaching teenages, so we both use different kinds of art to educate the teens.

PART THREE:

Getting change , Delete and Impovement of Myself

I feel a bit of fear to change myself in short time and in one unfamiliar coundry which I am not able to read any Korean except my Korean full name and I can only speak five Korean words at the beginning .I am so sorry that I can not learn a lot of Korean before I come here since I am too busy in preparing another public exam is called A-level and study in HKSC.Infact, learning Korewan in Hong Kong cost high prize but I am poor even I need keep on having part-time-job and studying at the same time.

As I sometime can not real believe myself then make many problems everywhere , when I lack of comfident then I can believe other people . As in a team , it let me can not have great communication with other members since I can totally believe in them . It is like a big disease in the team if we can believe each other.I am not total perfect teenage and I can not understand half if myself only . Then I better go to even I need to delete , improve my disadvantages and keep on deveolpe more my advantages.

During the two months,I do understand myself more .

I think that I better delete my disdvantage , such as I few of gotting late but it is not 100% on time .However, I am slowly person then I need to prepare more than others and need to come on time about 15 minutes before every events such as Film Workshop, Desigh Workshop even Korean Meeting ,they get start.Only coming-on-time to join the events in HKSC is fine but this is not ok in HPS.Since I am come another coutry however China or Hong Kong (Hong Kong looks like a coundry. ). Two international City in Seoul or Hong Kong has 60% different of the culture. Everyday , I face the culture comfilt

Moreover, I beter delete disdvantages also are being 200% hard working kidult. Infact, I am hard working in HKSC in two years but after I passed my first public exam . I had a sensibly presure of this eaxm which is called HKCEE .I lost many hair on my brow and get over 10kg in one year in ex-high school which is one of Band One (means top level )Englsih secondary school .

My health collapsed because of overwork for preparing the HKCEE. After studying in this so called outstanding on result of HKCEE and A-level over Hong Kong. However , it is because my effort and the eduction in HKSC, I am so called luckily to get 13 out of 30 marks and 6 is passing marks.

Infact, I lost my health and hairs as the public exam.I am extremly to prove every thing in Hong Kong. For example , the students need to prove that they are smart , good at English + Mardiland+Chinese and can have job and get rich soon,etc. One of ex-secondary Schoolmate killed himself because the pressture from the two pubic exams.I am extremly tried to prove that I am good girl since I real hard working about HKCEE. I real try my best to so called “win” in HKCEE is because ART only . My result is in HKSC is quite good in whloe Form 5 (about 150students.) Therefore, I can able to come back to HKSC and study more two years then I take another public exam. Hong Kong was a colony of England over 100 years and we are so called “return”to Mainland China on 1 of July ,1997. However , we are totally different with Mainland China since we are “One Country Two Systems”and Hong Kong seem to be a country not just city.In Seoul, I always introduce myself as a Hong Kongese not Chinese not all. Infact , I think that I am a Hong Kong Chinese as I was burn Mainland China not Hong Kong and I only growth in Hong Kong over 13 years. It is hard to explain in Korean or English and I do not long time to talk.

I need to delete “selfish” or “selfhood”.As I am an independent kidult in Hong Kong and I am over 18 years old in Hong Kong who is an adult in Hong Kong (but the ages in HKID card is not true) . Except cooking , I do most of thing by myself in Hong Kong and I even make my handmake tote bags and toys. However , I become too independent !? As the relationship in my poor family is very bad , we only sometime have dinner together such as a week twice . Even I stay in school usually for long time for studying and creating work . My house seem like just for sleeping and saving things and my poor mother says I am like live in hotel and my daily life is too busy. In Seoul and Haja Centre are like a big family. I need to care myself first then I need to care onther . I mean that I already sick over one month and I quite tried to go to school since I got cool . However, I do hope to go to Haja Production School every day. I start to learn a bit cooking . Although I can not read Korea and only understand + speak in 10% Korean , I can do as many as I can such as go school by myself +come back Homestay family.It is not easy for me in the beginning. I can go to supermarket to buy food by myself and speak to the sales in simple Korean.However, I fell down form bike and got hurt in main body then I can feel the painful near my lungs after five days . I told my teacher (I still do not tell my homestay family since I can fix it by myself) then we go to hospital to take the X-ray.The Korean doctor can not understand then I ask for help.On other side , I can a small helper in KUROCO Project , I can clear many cups and feed people who is needed.For they are lovely baby or kids. I think about my parent need to feed me when I was baby until kid.I need to feed my child in the future.

I need to improve my poor English and let my good attitude to be great . I need to improve the listening skill of Korean , Chinese and English even Korean English and Japanese English.Infact, I am not good at Englsih . I am so lucky to sudden meet many interesting friends like Japanese teacher, some Professor form Mainland China , USA,Taiwan, lovely Mette from Denmark.ect.

-------------------------------------------------

PART FOUR:

Commution is the Most Important then use all Ways to Do

The level of Englsih of local Korean are different levels , some of them are perfect but half (or 1/3 )of them can not speak in fludent English or they speak in Korean English. It is only my personal view ,maybe not totally true. I am sorry.

I still having commution problems everwhere ,. However , I am happy to have thiose problem as it is ver y interesting. I think deeply about “ language “ it big topic. I start to create work about it . I also feel a bit unhappy about it since I can understand too many Korean . I can able to know in Korean evernt or actitity . One of my friend make a joke to me that if a Korean lovely boy says “I LOVE YOU FOEVER ”and ask me to be his lover but he only speak in Korean.Therefore , I totally can understand what did he say to me infact. It is unhappy but sad +good endling of Korean love story.haha.I am so sorry about too big big big big big big big big big gap between two countries. I am art student and I come from HKSC ! I create many many many ways to talk with everyone . I do not care which language that I can speak . I use Englsih , Kroean , Japanese , Cantonese , Japanese,Hosaese,Mardinland,etc. Even I draw picture use baby and body langage.

-----------------------------------------------------

PART FIVE:

To Sum Up

To be sum up,I believe a motto that “Differents People Can Come Together to be a Group VS as We are Different so be A Team” The first sentence means people are come from different backgorund and family , they want to be a team then we need to accept everyone if you do not want to do then quit the team as soon as possible . For example , there are usually the students quit by theirselves or quit ny the school in HKSC. So if you are not happy to be member in HKSC then we suggect you to leave HKSC. In HPS is too . I saw some students quit the school by theirselves .

Infact , I face and fix many problems about this imporant studying trip and it is hard. I face more and more problem in Seoul nowsadays. I am fine to fix and happy to see the problems can end .I still four months to stay in HPS and I am able to go to Thailand woth them in coming February.Please keep on working hard as I can as possible and never give up .

P.S Infact, to be honest that I can able to be happy all time and I am very emotional girl when I born until now .  I am very easy to cry and laugh everywhere but I am too much pressue form my poor family and myself . Before I come to HKSC and I seem like having Bulimia nervosa (one of the eating disorder and like 폭식증).On that half year , I sudden increase 10kg and over 100pimples on my face (my first time to pimple).My live of that year like a person without soul . Therefore , I save myself by myself and change to study in HKSC with only a friend 's support me to do. He is a stuff about computer in HKSC but I do not know until I came to HKSC 2nd Open Day then I sudden met him and he gave the entrance form to me.
