Goals

Hi, Yuna Here AGAIN. My first goal is to enjoy being at GLPS camp. To do that I need to enjoy learning and be strong at heart as in having a positive attitude and making new friends an so on. I'm trying to fulfill this goal because the first week I was a little nervous and homesick. What I want is to do is make the best out of everything.

My second goal is to improve on debating or to at least start learning and understanding the concept of it. What I need to do to improve is to speak more fluently and try to keep the time limit of 8 to 9 minutes. So I need to learn how to talk fast while talking smoothly and to keep away from minor details.

Last but not least, my third goal is to try and improve in history because like I said in my introduction history is my worst subject so I want to improve in it. I have to try to find enough information until the deadline so I can present properly. I also need to speak louder and try not to stutter because I'm not much of a public speaker. Which briefly means I have to get rid of stage fright.

I really hope (even if I might leave early) to finish GLPS successfully.

Self introduction



Hello, my name is Yuna Lee. I was born in Seoul but I moved to Beijing, China when I was 22 months old. My favorite subject is art and my worst subjects are P.E and history. I've been playing the violin for 3 years now and I have played the oboe and cello for 1 year. My current hobby is to play the ukulele, doodle and daydream. I am an animal lover and my favorite animal is a dog. Sometimes when I study I get really tired so I like to eat sweet things to keep me awake. My favorite books are the Harry Potter series and A Wrinkle in Time. My favorite movies are the Harry Potter series and the Chronicles of Narnia. I really look forward to making to friends and learning new subjects. It's actually my first time at an overnight camp that goes on for more than a week, so I still get nervous and homesickness sometimes. Also I'm not used to studying  and waking up at 7 in the morning during vacation so I'm a little stressed out, but still there are more pro's than con's for being at this camp like improving in leadership and other subject, and making new friends.
