1.My grandfather participated in the Korean Civil War.
#1:My grandfather had participated in the Korean civil war as a soldier when he was 20 years old. At that time of the year, there wasn’t any exact division between South and North Korea, even the 38th parallel did not exist back then. My grandfather and his brother was the only people capable in his family who could leave North Korea and come down to South Korea, due to the war being so sudden. If my grandfather did not move down to South Korea during the war, he would not have met my grandmother in South Korea and got married. Our family history would have been completely different with this single event, I might not exist right now.

It was Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at Pearson Airport in Toronto, Canada with my family, only knowing the words, “hello” and “bye”. I have lived in Burlington, Ontario since the day I have immigrated. If I did not immigrated to Canada, my life would completely have changed. I can’t imagine myself surviving in Korea’s education because in Korea, every student compete each other only to get better grades and to go to well-known universities. There is no place and time for them to enjoy their life. I am very happy that I am able to live in Canada where there is less pressure. Evidence 2.1(Secondary source):This is the immigration paper that I have received from the government to identify that I am a official immigrant of Canada. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3.My parents got married on February 2nd, 1990. #3:My mother and my father got married on Saturday, February 17th, 1990 at Gangnam mokhwa wedding place in Seoul, Korea.
My mother was 26 years old and my father was 29 years at the time. Church pastor, Jaecheol Heo, officiated at my parents wedding and my sister, brother and I were also baptized as an infant by him. After 3 years of relationship, my parents got married. Without this event, I would not have been born or even my siblings would not exist and my father’s generation would not have continued to us. My mother is second child and she has a brother who is 2 years older, who got married 2 years later. It was not common to get married before your brother who is first child because in Korea men were thought as superior than
women. Evidence 3.1(Primary source): My grandfather holding my mother's hand to enter the ceremonial hall, one step slowy at a time, closer to where my father is standing at the front podium. Evidence 3.2(Primary source):My mother and my father taking picture at the wedding with their beautiful dress and suit.

I was arranged to be born on January 11, but it did not go according to the schedule. So, my mother had a cesarean section, although she wanted to give natural childbirth like my other siblings. Also, I was relatively big compared to others babies, 4.3kg when I was born, exceeding the average weight. Evidence 4.1: (Secondary: It is not the picture on the day I was born)This is a picture of me, sitting on my grandmother’s lap, when I was three days old at my old house at Seoul, South Korea.

He received a certificate of award, trophy and $1000. This event was significant because my parents were able to notice his art skill. Also, this led my parents to decide that my brother should enroll to Sunhwa Arts School to learn art in more depth to increase his art skills. This middle school was difficult to enroll because they only select students with finest techniques, so I was glad when my brother was selected as one of the students. Evidence 5.1:A picture of my brother standing in front of his art piece called “Nature” that he had drew on the paper with water colors.

This was my first year playing soccer, inexperienced with poor soccer skills, however our green team “Grasshoppers” was able to become the champions of the 2009 Oakville cup for U9. I still cannot forget the moment and the feeling that I had when I was receiving the trophy from my coach at the podium. Also, in Korea there is not much opportunities and extracurricular activities for sports because students rather study and go to academy even late at night to get better grades at school, ignoring the physical activities that is needed for a healthy life. Evidence # 6.1( Primary source):This is the close look of the trophy that I have received on the first year of my soccer life.

I have only attended to three art museum or art shows before this event had happened.

In 1944 the world was caught in one of the greatest wars of all time, World War II. The whole United States was mobilized to assist in the war effort. As history was being made overseas, as citizens learned to do without many amenities of life, and as families grieved over loved ones lost in the war, two students on BYU campus were beginning a history of their own. Chauncey and Bertha Riddle met in the summer of 1944 and seven months later were engaged to be married. Chauncey was eighteen and a half and Bertha nineteen as they knelt across the altar in the St. George temple five months after their engagement. Little did they know that in just the first years of marriage they would be involved with the effects of a significant historical event, the atomic bomb, as well as government legislation, the GI Bill, that would not only affect the course of their lives but also the course of the entire country.
The site of Emperor Haung’s tomb is located in Lintong, Shaanxi province, near the city of Xi’an in China (Kesner 1995). After its completion in 210 BCE, it was covered by earth mined from an area near the Wei River, sealing it away from the outside world for over two thousand years (Swart 1984). While ancient historians wrote of the unbelievable tomb, hidden under a massive pile of earth, many modern historians simply did not believe it to be true. However, between 1932 and 1970, five figures of kneeling servants were found near where the tomb mound was thought to be (Swart 1984). The mausoleum itself was eventually unearthed in 1974 by farmers who were digging wells and accidentally broke into a vast pit containing life-sized statues of about 6,000 soldiers and horses. A group of Chinese archaeologists were assigned to excavate the site and dig up its ancient treasures. In 1976, two more underground pits were found with about 1,500 more soldiers and horses (Swart 1984). Other than the clay soldiers and horses, brass figures were discovered...
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has struck my interest for the past few years. I have always been interested in historical events that impacted many lives. The Holocaust, the Berlin Wall, and World War I and II have always been something I take very seriously and I am very interested in learning about America’s history. The backstory behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is fascinating and after researching it more I learned new things that made me more motivated to write this essay in hopes that I get the honor of laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
There are an average of thirty funerals a day, and more than four million people pay their respects to the fallen each year. One of those things is the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A young soldier with a face as solid as steel, hands as strong as iron takes twenty-one steps as he crosses in front of the white tomb. The words etched into the tomb are “Here Rests in Honored Glory An American Soldier But Known To God.”
The first Unknown Soldier’s corpse was from a battlefield in France. His remains were then put into a casket and sent to America. On the day of the tomb’s opening there was a large celebration that many attended to show reverence to the unknown, and to other men that died in battle. In America the soldier’s casket was followed by a large parade of military men to his resting place on top of a hill at the Arlington National Cemetery. In the video, US Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the narrator says, “In the amphitheatre of the Arlington Cemetery President Harding delivered a speech about the tomb. He then placed a congressional medal on the casket.” In this short video you can see the grief on all the civilians’ faces. This ceremony was a special part of America’s history. People were beginning to realize how real war was. People saw first hand that soldiers were putting their lives on the line for the sake of the U.S. citizens’ freedom. There were many soldiers to choose from to put into the tomb from each war. People who were high up in the military

Korea was “an ocean of tears.” Most of the families kept crying for hours while they were embracing each other. Even though they were not saying a word but weeping, they were still communicating with each other the pain that they went through while they were apart. They got old during fifty years of separation but they recognized one another and told each other that they still have the same look. They were overwhelmed with joy while they were talking about their lives. They were also mourning to hear some of their families had passed away while they were separated. They were in great relief and exceeding joy at the same time. Keller says “this same dynamic is at work when you lose some possession you take for granted,” he continues, “when you find it again (having thought it was gone forever) you cherish and appreciate it in a far deeper way” (Keller
This burial ground is the final resting place of not only Church members and Yellow Fever victims, but Benjamin Franklin and 4 other signers of the Declaration of Independence! Though not many historical events other than burials occurred here, the burial ground itself has undergone many eventful changes. In 1977, the burial ground closed due to a lack of funding, among other reasons. It reopened in 2003 after a brief but extremely beneficial restoration project. In this project, many tombstones were repaired or completely remade. Along with this renovation, updates are made to the burial ground on both Benjamin Franklin’s birthday and the burial site’s anniversary. An example is the brick path installed around Benjamin Franklin’s grave, which was added in December 2005 to celebrate his 300th birthday. More of these updates and renovations will likely occur as the years go

When I was 16, there was a nice program that Gyeong-gi province singled out one student in each middle school and gave them opportunity to tour North Korea during a week. Fortunately, I got the chance so I could climb Mt.Kumgang. First time when I arrived at North Korea, I was so scary because every soldier was standing under the guns. Although they spoke same language and looked like us, I felt that they were strangers. They never smiled, but always seemed to be nervous.
When I was seventeen I nervously traveled about 350 miles from my sleepy little home town of Freedom, Wyoming to the relatively enormous city of Boise, Idaho to go to the Military Entrance Processing Station. This wasn 't the first time I had been this far from home by myself, but it was the first time I was making adult decisions without my parents involvement. When it came time for me to choose my job in the army the counselors presented me with a long list that I qualified for. I got tired of scrolling and reading so I chose the first job that I actually understood. I returned home and excitedly told my parents that I would be an infantry soldier. My dad 's response to this might be considered a little less than heart warming “You dumb ass. Why didn 't you choose
There is not a mausoleum in this cemetery. The original stones are unreadable and far too few for as many bodies assumed to lie beneath me. Rocks and pieces of broken old gravestones are scattered throughout the area. A lot of head stones
