Schooling for Teen Mothers

Yang Bora

I saw a TV program in which teen mothers appeared and told their stories. They said that they had thought of sending their babies to a poorhouse, but finally they decided to bring up their babies on their own with courage.

They made a brave decision because living as a teen mother is very hard in Korea. Unfortunately, most of them dropped out of school. Why can't they help dropping out of school? That's because this social perception is not desirable.

Of course, teen pregnancy is also not desirable. We should refrain from that. However, violating teen mothers' rights to be educated (I think) is the most undesirable action. Not learning will be an obstacle to teens' futures today when intellectual worth is so high. We must not allow teen mothers to live incorrectly and we must teach them the way of living correctly not only for themselves but also their babies.

So, we should enforce the education, establish facilities for teen mothers, and encourage them to study hard.

There are many types of people. Now, I'll introduce two types of people. One is slim people and the other is fat people. Many differences and prejudices exist between them. Let's find about them.

First, in the case of eating food, a fat person eats food until they are gone completely. Conversely, a slim person quits eating when she feels full. One day, both go to restaurant and order a large amount of food. People seeing a fat person think "What a fatty person! She looks like a pig!" and they also see a slim person and think "Wow, she looks healthy and well!"

Second, in the case of wearing clothes, while a slim person can fit into any size of clothes, it is hard for a fat person to wear various clothes. One day, both are walking down the street wearing a mini skirt. People seeing a fat person think "It is certain that she does not consider her body condition". And they also see a slim person and think "Nice body!"

Last, a study announced that a fat person can more easily float above water than a slim person because fat is lighter than water. Also, a fat person sweats more than a slim person. Since fat people create more heat, they need to sweat to adjust their body temperature.

So, what type of person do you want to be? While writing this, I realized that a slim person would have more advantages although a fat person float well above water... haha!

Yang Bora's Introduction

Self Introduction
By Yang Bora

I'm Yang Bora in Naju high school. My family consists of my mom, father, and three sisters. I am the youngest child, so I was loved so much by my parents. But in my childhood, the rest of my family members came home late at night because of their work and school lives. I was usually alone in my home. This made me solitary and affects the present. Now, I like getting along with people, because I know that being alone is so lonely and sad. I am sociable. This is one of my appealing points.

Since I am the youngest child, I want to be a lovely person. but I have one big problem. I am too short. A tall man even says "Where are you Bora? I can't find you because you do not appear in my sight..." Isn't it so sad? If I were taller than now, I would have more confidence and could wear nice blue jeans. But, I turned my complex into advantage and became 2-3 class leader. Whenever people think of me, they regard me as an attractive person who, in spite of her short height, has big voice and power and many other advantages. The saying "a smaller pepper is hotter" is the best saying for me.

After my entrance into high school, many adults asked me, "what will you be in the future?" At first, I had no exact answer because I didn't experience many things. I was just forced to sit in the chair and study. This question even bothered me. However, I became to have a blueprint recently. I want to be an English teacher. I like English, but the major cause of my decision is my English teacher. The care which she gave me inspired my interest and passion about English. She could serve for us, so I became to respect her and thought about teacher work. I really want to be an English teacher who gives students more care than I was given and communes with students from the heart. I'll specialize in English. Learning English will help me to take a leap. I'll go forward step by step.
