my phsical activity

When I arrived at my country, I had to prepare so many things which are something about portfolio that made me terrible. I prepared for physical activity during the volunteer work. My trainer was one of my cousins. Though she is not an expert on training people, but she graduated from the special high school (it is about physical educational school). We went to her school and did exercises and we started our exercises from Monday and finished at Friday. We practiced 2 hours per day.
At the first day, she taught my brother and me how to stretch myself. She told us that it is the first step of all exercises and it is very important. If we do not stretch ourselves, we can get injuries during the exercises. After spending 5 minutes doing stretching, we began to run on the running machine. We run almost 40 minutes. After that, we did other exercises with different kinds of athletic apparatuses.
At the second day, we did almost same as first day. It was hard to run for approximately 40 minutes. After that, as you can see in the picture, my cousin told me how to use these sports goods. She told us that when you start to do some exercises, you must use your arms slowly. In exercise, safety is the most important. She was just looked like as a professional trainer. We spent 2 hours and it was much difficult to practice than the day before because the day before, we spent only 1 hours.
At the third day, everything was same as Monday’s and Tuesday’s. We spent 2 hours doing these exercises.
At the forth day, she took us to climb mountain together. The mountain is located in my hometown and it is very near from my house. So I have been this mountain for many times when I was a little child. At first, it was difficult because I had not climbed the mountains for a long time. Moreover, we climbed the mountains for almost 3 hours. So it made me harder. But after that, it was much easier to climb. It was a very good experience because as you know, it is very difficult to breathe clean oxygen in city nowadays.
At the fifth day, my cousin taught me everything which she taught us before. We spent 2 hours doing this exercises and it was much easier than the first day and the second day.
I think during this time, I have learned a lot. Now, I know how to exercise by myself. It was a very good experience in my life and it increased my knowledge about physical activities. I can also teach others that everybody can be healthier and healthier. If someone look through reports in my blog, someone will know that I really like soccer (soccer was mentioned in club activity). So it was very good to me because now I know how to run in good way. I can also do these exercises in China so that maybe I can get good score in Physical education class. It helped me a lot.

Other 10 hours

I am in China and that's why I could not do the same physical activity. So Martin and I decided to play badminton and sometimes play soccer. My mother was the coach and she checked our activity.

Volunteer work -police office

Several days ago, I arrived at my country, Korea. In fact, I decided to do volunteer work to take care of pets. But I had to come to Korea and I had to find some volunteer work. I thought that it would be difficult. But my brother and I did not have to spend so much time finding volunteer work. My mother helped me to find something to do and she told me that her friend’s younger brother is police officer. And then, after few days, we went to a police office to help them to clean, mop or arrange some papers. My brother and I have worked there for 5 hours per days. We did volunteer work for 2 days. The location of this police office is Kwang-ju, my hometown. It is near from the railway station.
At first day of volunteer, we went to police office which my mother told us before. It was quite difficult to find because there were so many buildings that we could hardly find the location. We left home at about 12 o’clock. But we reached at 1 o’clock. After arriving, I was little surprised because the building was quiet large. In there, a police officer came to us and asked us the reasons that why we came to there. We told him that we wanted to volunteer to help them. And also, I found my mother’s brother. When he found us, he made us to do mopping and cleaning. He told us where the dustbin, mops and dustpans are. At first, we thought it was not difficult. But it was difficult. As I mentioned before, the building was quite big and our works are never done. After 5 hours, we finished our work and went to home.
At second day, we also reached the police office at 1 o’clock. Police officer let us clean and mop the building again. But the day before, my brother and I did a lot and we finished the work very quickly. After cleaning, we helped them to arrange some papers and files. Of course, it was not so important files and papers. When we finished our works, it was almost 6 o’clock. We got the log and verifications after our works and after that, we could go home.
I think I learned a lot in there. I knew that the volunteer things are very important and good. Now I understand why so many people want to help others. At first, I just worked for my volunteer time (10 hours). But after work, my heart was full. About insights what I gained, I still do not understand what it means. But after this work, I knew that I am a good cleaner and I am enjoying helping people.
During my work, I needed some cleaning skills. It was very easy and actually, I think even child can do my work. But as I said, the building was big and it was hard.
In conclusion, it was very meaningful to both my brother and I and if I have a chance, I will volunteer again.

school club

At the beginning of term 1, every student could choose the clubs what they want. There were so many school clubs that we could take. If someone is good at sports, they could choose many different school clubs such as soccer, basketball, badminton or tennis etc. It was very fair for everyone because there were some sports school club for both boys and girls. For me, though I really like to play soccer, I had no time to join the soccer club. And except this soccer club, other clubs could not attract me because of the time except guitar club. Before I went to Grand Canadian Academy (my school), I had one dream which is studying the guitar. Moreover, there was a paragraph that attracts beginner that could not play the guitar just like me. That was ‘you can join this club even you are beginner’ (I am not sure about this. but the meaning is almost same). So I wrote my name at the paper with Martin and Julia. And this is only club that I have joined.
At the first day of my guitar club, Martin and I learned many basic skills about guitar. I learned how to play the guitar and what is the right pose to take hold of guitar. And then we learned the most basic things about the guitar. After 1 hour from the beginning of the class, finally, the class was finished. At the first day, Christopher taught me a lot about how to play the guitar very kindly. At the second day of guitar club, Christopher chose some easy songs for us and began to teach us.
About insights I gained about myself before and after this process, actually I do not think I gained what insights. I think there are no relationships between playing the guitar and insights. But I learned something special things. It is just as other instruments like piano. I gained the skills which is how to play the guitar without seeing guitar. I also gained some special feeling of rhythm that helps me to play the guitar easily.
There are many students which takes the guitar club. But this club has not required any relationships between other students in GCA. As you know, this is a club that is about an instrument, guitar, not a sports club. So I have learned some individual skills about playing the guitar. Maybe if we have some mini concert, every club members need to work together. I think this club does not have any weakness. If I have to choose weakness, I think individual is a weakness because we can not learn team spirit through this. But I think individual is also a strength because we can learn how to solve or do anything by myself.
As I mentioned, I had not learned how to play the guitar. I was always yearning guitar player and it was good chance to learn guitar. Now, I can play and it affects me a lot. I can play the guitar for my family and my parents also like this. I think it may affect the image of GCA. I think music is very important for our lives and our club members may play the guitar for GCA students. As students in GCA have seen, there was a concert performed by some GCA students. Many students liked it.
In this club, I really learned a lot and I really enjoy it. I will learn it harder and harder so that I can play it very well without any mistakes. After two and half years, I hope I am one of the best guitar players in GCA.

Other 1 hour

It is not actually one hour. I spent 4 hours playing the guitar in the club. I think the reason that the time is smaller than before is that I do not have as much time as before and there were some personal reasons.
